One of the first places I was introduced to Korean food and truly a place I love to go from time to time. I order the Beef Bulgogi every time and it always hit, when you eat it with the side dishes and the rice it is truly and amazing. Also service is good!
My recent visit to restaurant left me deeply disappointed and frustrated. As a vegetarian, I ordered fried rice without any meat, while my friend opted for ramen. However, the real letdown came at the end of the meal. Despite paying the bill in full, she questioned why I hadn't tipped. When I politely declined, she became agitated and demanded I contribute to her tip. Out of sheer frustration, I refused, and to my astonishment, she threatened that I wouldn't be able to make changes to my dishes in the future. Such behavior is not only appalling but also unacceptable. As a paying customer, I expect to be treated with respect and not coerced into tipping against my will. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I'll be hesitant to return to restaurant in the future.

My usual is pork bone soup. Been having it for a few decades.I know how it taste, how it's made and the quantity of materials.They gave me hardly any pork bone and the pork bone was under cooked.Came here in the past many times....never again. This place has really gone down the tubes.Update the following morning:I do intermittent fasting, so the day prior to eating this meal I had eating nothing. Only consumed water and 1 coffee.After eating this meal I had mild diarrhea in the morning. Not sure if it had anything to do with my fasting.

So, here's my experience:Me and my friends decided to check out this spot for some food, you know, switch things up a bit. Gotta say, the food was like a solid 4. Not the worst, but it’ll do . Our server was ok, I guess. She did her thing, but when we needed stuff like utensils or more water, it took her a minute. No biggie, we get it, it's busy. But here's where it gets real shady. When it came time to pay up, nobody mentioned a mandatory tip. We paid in cash, thinking we'd get change back. Nope. She straight up told us that was our tip. Nobody told us about tipping, and even if they had, with that attitude? No way. We're just a bunch of students, trying to enjoy a meal after a long day of classes. We get the hustle, but if that's how they roll, they don't deserve our tips. We've been to other restaurants where tipping's mandatory, but AT LEAST they give you a heads up. Not here, though. In the end, we didn’t argue back as it was getting late and we were pretty tired, so we just gave them the tips because we know that, this will be our last visit in this restaurant.

It might not look much from outside but it's actually pretty good. Service was fast. Got served the banchan right away. And they were yummy. I really liked the fishcake & the japchae. Really unique way of ordering. The quantity of the food is a lot. We ordered jeyuk bokeum, bokeum champpong & tangsuyuk. The first two were amazing, especially the jeyuk bokeum. The tangsuyuk was a little too sweet for my taste but it was something I had wanted to try for a long time, so glad I did. The ambience was alright. Nothing to write home about. Just a cozy hole-in-the-wall kinda place.

Why so serious
I have visited this place with my friends and has no problems eating at this place until I had their food and started vomiting not even half an hour later. Which resulted in me getting food poisoned. Also the lady that works there is super RUDE and RACIST and always gives us the bad stares. When we wanted to pay separate bills she started talking with an attitude and looked at us rudely. The food takes long compared to its quality. We went there because there was no line but there was a reason why there was no people in there. She gives us poor service but forces us to tip. Overall, such a bad place and would not recommend. I would not be going there again.
Very nice atmosphere. Marinated beef BBQ was good. Appetizers were good. Service was good. They were friendly and helpful. With the customers they were serving, it was understandable that they do not engage much or smile all the time.Only disappointment was the soup… was not seasoned but the rest were fantastic!Kid-friendliness: Servers were engaging to kids and always minds what the kids needs.

Every reviewer that condescends non-tippers need a desparate reality check. I love tipping and many times have no hesitation tipping upwards of 50% when the service is impressive. While the food here is decent, it's not worth being condescended to by workers that hardly notice your invaluable patronage as a customer, let alone worthy of tipping. Ask yourself this: Would I tip an establishment that puts me second? Sorry tipping culture, but sometimes the greatest tip is no tip for a restaurant that clearly needs to rethink their business model.

The customer service at this restaurant was extremely poor, with a server who was rude and dismissive. Despite the restaurant not being busy, we were coldly instructed to wait outside in the freezing weather while waiting for our takeout order. It’s disheartening to be treated this way as loyal customers of the
