Decently priced food, and they always have big enough portions that I have leftovers to take home. As a broke college student this is truly amazing. Service is super nice, and food comes fast!

This Korean Restaurant located near University of Waterloo, they had a good korean food such as Crispy Korean Chicken with different glazed from Spicy Sweet Sauce, Honey BBQ, Honey Garlic, Soy Garlic etc, I specificaly like the Honey BBQ one, we also try the Fire Chicken, a spicy stir fry chicken with vegetables. This one good for those who like spicier dish.🔥🔥👍 we also love the condiment that comes free such as pickled turnip and carrot, kimchee, glazed sweet potato and I think pickled fish cake with cabbage.
I just didnt quite like the kimchee pancake. Too thick and didnt quite like the taste. The restaurant can be very busy during lunch time even on weekend.

Ordered the Bulgogi for takeout. Ascended. The portion is pretty big for a reasonable price.

I had a great experience at this Korean restaurant. The food was super flavorful and felt really authentic — especially the kimchi, which tasted homemade. We ordered the kalbi, kimchi pancake, and tofu stew, and everything came out hot and fresh. The banchan (side dishes) were generous and refilled without us even asking.

Service was fast and friendly, and the staff checked in just enough without being too much. The vibe is casual but clean, perfect for both a quick dinner or a relaxed night out. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes.

Highly recommend if you’re craving real Korean comfort food. I’ll definitely be back!

Love this place! Real Korean flavors, affordable lunch deals, and the best Jjajangmyeon I’ve had in a while. Plus, everyone here is so nice!

Highly recommend this Korean restaurant!
The food was absolutely amazing — I especially loved the Galbi and chicken. The service was great, and the prices are very reasonable, which makes it perfect for university students. This might just become my new go-to spot!

We drove from New York and accidentally found this place. It’s surprisingly good, especially the cold noodle.

Initially we were hesitated by some of the reviews but the owner told us they took over this place and many of the bad ones were from the previous store.

Highly recommend and do try out the cold noodle with beef strip (Galbi), amazing combo 👏👏

The place was unhygienic, and the staff were rude. They didn’t smile and made uncomfortable faces when I tried to speak to them. One of the women also had a hard time understanding English.

My friends told me I was ordering more chicken than I'd be able to eat and they were right.

Food was good. The Japchae wasn't exactly as pictured, it was missing the mushrooms and peppers. More vegetarian options would be better.

The bathroom needs to be cleaned and updated.

the food is amazing! and the service is so fast and I Love how they greet you when you walk in and they are very kind.

Vegetarian options: theres a bit of vegetarian options but sadly there’s no vegan options but if you’re vegetarian i’m pretty sure they have some vegetarian options.

Parking: So theres a lot of parking i’m not sure how many there are because its in a plaza but sometimes its full, sometimes half-full and sometimes theres a lot of spots.

Kid-friendliness: They welcome kids anytime!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs they make it easy for Wheelchairs to come in.
