Very polite owners and staff and a great pre gym meal, very good rich flavors that you don't find often, my meal was the shrimp fried rice and egg and it was amazing with some Siracha, go ahead and give this place a try, I will be going back for sure!

They don't make available as soon as they open. They could prepared it as soon as they get started for the day which is usually an hour before opening as most restaurants do. Food is great though, just the house tea not offered for the first hour of opening for the reason I stated.

Absolutely love the food they serve. Our go to is the pork bone soup (Kamja tang) and Kimchi Jjigae. We have tried the LA kalbi, bulgogi, Ddukbokgi, their fried chicken etc. All of which were soo delicious! Would recommend 100% for anyone looking to taste some hot, spicy, and filling Asian food.

Food really tasted good. Portion to price ratio is not justified. Too pricey for their portion. I can name other good Korean restaurants with better portions. My experience with their service was not great either. Asked for their tea and it was not ready so the girl offered me hot water instead?!?!?!?!?!?!? I thought I misheard so I said yes. Another time my friend and I just sat not even two seconds and the girl asked what we wanted from the menu. I was so confused.

Incredible food here, fresh and delicious! It's going to be my new go-to place for comfort food.

I also love that there's a nice variety of spice levels here. I like very spicy food but there's also options for milder food that is very good.

You can tell that their food is fresh because the menu changes depending on what is in season, that's always a great sign

I had a very unpleasant dining experience at this restaurant. The owner and staff displayed a clear bias against Asian customers. they openly mocked us loudly, Such behavior is highly disrespectful and rude. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Comfort and quality, this place hits the spot for delicious Korean food. We always get their Korean fried chicken because it is just that good. Everything else on their menu is amazing too. Even my parents have went to this place multiple times and they never go out to eat. One of the best spots in Guelph for sure.
