Been wanting to come here for so long and regret not coming here sooner.
The hot stone plate of chicken and cheese was so good. The cheesy pulls every time you go in for a scoop to the tender pieces of chicken. Every bite was so tasty
And to cut the richness of the plates, you have the classic pickled radish pieces to cleanse the palate
Service was decent. Fairly quick with the prep and serving of the food. Atmosphere was decent. But nothing to rave about. Was looking forward to seeing those BTS pictures on the wall, but I think those have since been removed.
Great job overall!

Love them! They have just one dish, with 4 different sauces, and varying degrees of spice, but very yummy! Can order some sides too.
Always love coming here for a simple meal that can be shared with a group of people. I’m not really a fan of the salad they give you in the beginning and I wish they peeled the radish before pickling and serving. The red cheese jjimdak is quite spicy even mild and the small size for 2 can definitely feed 3 people. There is a good amount of the glass noodles, rice cakes, and dumplings.
Service is quite slow since there’s only one server for the whole restaurant.
It's delicious. Because it’s delicious and professional
I come here often and even when I have parties, I take it out and show it to others. However, when I visited today, they said they only had boneless chicken, so they added $4 to the menu. I didn't feel very good when the restaurant charged the customer for not being able to order bone chicken because they didn't have the ingredients. Still, it was delicious. You can write it in English, but just write it in Korean.

The Cheese Gochujang Jjimdak (Braised Chicken) dish was awesome. We got the mild version which had the perfect amount of spiciness along with the cheese. The braised chicken was tender and delicious. The rice cakes were chewy and delicious. We added in sausage which was good. Would also recommend to order a side of white rice to mix in with braised chicken dish :)
Overall, a good place to go to if you are in the mood for some good Korean style braised chicken. Service was slow but they provided us with a complimentary Deep Fried Seaweed Roll which was crispy and delicious.

The best food I have eaten in a while. The spice level, the portion sizes, the various ingredients in the jjimdak makes me want to go back to try all the other flavors.

Went to the restaurant for the first time with my partner last Friday, the service was very good 5/5. He made sure our drinks were full and the food was lovely and fresh.

Small place so it’s a bit limited for seating. The jjimdak itself was good but the portions were much smaller than expected for the 2 portion size. The honey garlic pizza was a bit disappointing as it wasn’t really a pizza base and more like a pita-like base. There is a lot of parking in the area so there wouldn’t be as much issue over that. Overall, it was a bit of a disappointing experience given the hype from being featured on a BTS video (maybe the quality downgraded since then).

I loved the food. It was very flavourful. Be careful about the spice levels. When they say spicy they really mean it! The server was very sweet and the overall atmosphere was very nice. It happened to rain outside and it seemed like the perfect weather to calm your soul and enjoy a delicious meal.

The chicken is delicious and the corn cheese and the pajeon! Helps that BTS ate there but worth it even if they didn't...

10/10 dining experience. We were greeted quickly and warmly by the server and seated almost immediately. Food is phenomenal. Authentic Korean inspired dishes and the quality is definitely there. The cheese corn was the best one I’ve ever had and I order that from every restaurant that offers it. The Rose Jjimdak was my favourite, topped with cheese and sausages. The red sauce is good as well, but Rose wins for me. Our server was polite and very attentive of our table. I’ll definitely be coming back and brining friends! Also - BTS came here in 2018 if you care about that lol. Thanks for a great dinner.
