I grew up eating the hotteok which is why I was so disappointed with my last visit. They were so dry and bready with very little filling. I hope they can change this.

Excellent quality across all their products. I’ve been coming here since 2007, and everything I’ve purchased has consistently exceeded expectations. They never disappoint. I highly recommend this place—every item is worth trying at least once, and you’re almost certain to find something you’ll love.

Service is always fast and amazing too!!

Very cute Korean cafe that's been in the neighborhood for 30+ years. They make really hearty sweet snacks such as the walnut cakes, chun byung, and if you are lucky, freshly made pancakes.

I grew up eating a lot of pastries with a sweet beans paste filling. Never had I think of using mashed potato as an alternative. It's pretty cool, and I would never guess that it was potato. My favorite was the chun byung. So simple, but with the different flavors, every bite was a lovely surprise. I just wish I had bought more.

Interesting that even with the amount of Korean businesses in NYC, I've never seen a shop that's quite like this. If there's anything to complain, I have to say that the oil is becoming a little rancid, and you can really taste it in the pancake when served hot.

Besides serving the best snacks, their customer service truly touched me. I tried ordering some snacks through Uber for my family in the US, but it wouldn’t go through. I called the store and the lady kindly tried to help, though the issue couldn’t be fixed at first. When my order finally went through, she even called to make sure I received it and included complimentary snacks. Despite being so busy, she made sure I was taken care of. Thank you dearly for this gesture.

Love this place, especially when I went to school nearby. Love the different varieties of red bean balls and brown sugar pancake.

Pancakes are a must try. We also tried the walnut cakes with red bean which would have been even better had it been warm. As it was our first time the person at the cash counter was very helpful. Thanks you!

A little gem of a bakery with sweet and warm treats. I tried their filled pancakes and walnut shaped treats. Made fresh throughout the day, they are perfect for snacks or a breakfast. Reminds me of my childhood, when my grandmother made something similar. Whatever you order here will taste great!
