As a Korean American, I was quite excited to have some Korean food near me to fulfill my cravings for homemade food. I mainly order the bulgogi, galbi, and kimchi stew, and all were quite delicious. I also loved the jjamppong. Nothing was too spicy here for anyone bad with spice, and every mouthful was flavorful. Even the side dishes tasted great. Some dishes lacked a certain Korean taste, but still tasted delicious. However, prices are higher than Korean restaurants that I am used to where I am from.
The service was okay. Since it is mainly just the owner running the restaurant, it takes a while for food to arrive, but that is understandable. The owner is very nice and is a hard worker, trying to seat everyone and get their orders ASAP. The appearance reminds me of an actual Korean restaurant, with the soju and K-pop posters to make it more Korean (haha).
Overall, good experience. Would definitely come back for more!

Very tasty Korean food, but due to the fact it is a family owned business beware of long wait times for food as there is only one person cooking, however well worth the wait.

Beyond worth the price and wait. It was a lot of fresh food for only about 17$. You could tell it was a family owned establishment and many students take advantage. It was a busy Friday around dinner time and staff was friendly. Of course I had to wait a bit for my order to be taken but food didn’t take long at all. The meal was filling and a great portion. I will definitely be back!

It's an institution. As a client, just shut up, trust the guy and you'll have an awesomely good meal. I'd go back any time I'm in Binghamton.

Really bad service; asked a simple question about the dish and got instant attitude and got yelled at. Owner threw a fit, somehow came to a consensus that we were not ordering?? and slammed the menus on the table and stormed off, very unprofessional and unbelievable. I understand if the place is short staffed and such but this reaction was completely unreasonable. Been here before and the food was great but this time the experience was completely horrible. Guess you can have a good experience if you don’t ask questions. Sucks that this is one of the only korean restaurants in town but I cannot see myself coming here again.

All the reviews are spot on! Food is AMAZING! Service- well he takes his time, pays attention to one table at a time and gets flustered when busy but as long as you know this going in - the foods well worth it!!

We really wanted to go to this place for a long time, and unfortunately it was such a disappointment. The owner was extremely rude regarding basic questions, he was screaming out load, so i ended up with high blood pressure. Ive been to Korean places all around the world, I love Korean culture and cuisine and I think this is such a bad representation.

This was hands down the rudest dining experience I have ever had. Our group came ready to spend. We ordered appetizers, drinks, entrées, and even takeout for family at home. The bill was already on track to be over $100.
Because one person in our party only wanted plain rice and tea, the owner actually yelled at us and told us to leave. Yes, we were kicked out because one guest didn’t want a giant meal.
Restaurants are supposed to welcome customers, not scream at them. This was unprofessional, insulting, and completely outrageous. Treating paying customers like this is beyond unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.
Owner very rude, he shouted at my family at the door saying that he can’t serve us as he was busy or some other reason either way was very disrespectful ! If you are truing to have a good time with friends or family avoid this place.

This used to be my comfort food spot when I went to uni in Bing. If I had a hangover, if I was stressed about exams, if I was depressed over the weather, this place would always be my first option. I have since graduated and come back home and to this day, I compare places in NYC and NJ to this place. The food feels homey, tastes fresh, and looks amazing. It is one man running the place with his wife doing most of the cooking in the kitchen. Despite this, the food never took long and never tasted rushed. I hope that I get to return soon.

TL;DR- Great food, limited tables, irritable server. Order takeout to skip the wait + service!
Place was lovely, food was delightful! As others have mentioned though they are severely understaffed + the place is only so big so there's not a ton of tables. I waited about 10-20 minutes to be seated. There was only one server, and he was obv very stressed, but I would be too if I were serving a whole restaurant by myself! I decided to order my food to-go just to ease the stress 😅
Every other reviewer has already mentioned the server though, so I'll just say: I definitely recommend the food. I ordered the Bim Bap (Entree #1) and it was delish! If you decide on this place, I suggest you order takeout or delivery! If you come to dine in though, expect a wait time and blunt service.
