Wonderful food. We ordered Jjajangmyeon (mixed noodle in dark sauce CAD9.95 - special offer of the day), pork cutlets rice (CAD16.95) and potato pork bone soup (CAD15.95) and an extra bowl of white rice. All dishes taste great.The noodle bowl is generously filled with noodle and sauce. The noodle is at a good chewy texture. The seasoning of the sauce is just perfect.Pork cutlets is large in size and still got some pork juice inside. The texture of the rice is great - a little sticky and chewy. Just like authentic Korean rice.The potato pork bone soup taste wonderful. A little spicy and great to serve alone or with rice.They also served appetizers, including fish cake, kimchi and braised sweet potato in soy sauce. The sweet potato is a must to eat.

I haven’t been here in 23 years (since I was in Uni) but I still loved this place. We had the pork bone soup and the bulgogi and we loved it. The server was kind enough and asked if we wanted more of the side dishes. Food was great.

We got the galbitang and the medium honey garlic boneless fried chicken. We liked the egg drop in the galbitang. The fried chicken lacked flavour, but it was crispy and had a nice texture. The side dishes are delicious though!More recently, we had the bulgogi stew and the gamjatang. The bulgogi stew had lots of meat, but the dish was very sweet. The gamjatang had lots of meat as well, but tasted pretty standard.The restaurant is small, so it can get cold in the winter when the doors open.We've also had the japchae lunch takeout, which was a large portion with lots of rice and side dishes, and tasted great.Overall, a solid place for Korean food and one of my friends' favourite!

I got N3 Jjajangmyeon. Didn't see any pork in it. Watery taste. Asked for salt and pepper. Didn't help. Asked to take something else, the waitress said the manager is not there and they don't switch, because it should be tasty (what??). Also said that the other guy liked it, so I should like it too :)))). Anyways, putting tons of side dish in it, ate that without joy. This is the first place that I've met not switching the dish if it's not tasty. In general the dishes there fairly small. There are better Korean places in the area. Not recommend.

I am leaving a review.$14 ddukbokii with only 8 ricecakes.The main ingredient here is supposed to be ricecakes (size of a person's finger).Noodle should come with together, but i asked for more ricecakes instead of noodles.I got 8 ricecakes and it cost me $14.The taste is weird and old.Btw in korea we get $3 for this amount.A reason why the review score is low.There was no tteokbokki on the menu, so I ordered rabokki.I asked for more rice cake instead of noodles.Includes 8 rice cakes for $14.The taste is also really strange.Reason for low rating

Ojinguh bokkeum (spicy squid with veggies) and banchan. I went at lunch so it wasn’t on a sizzling platter (smaller proportion so cheaper). Staff was very kind with giving a few rounds of side dishes! It’s not too spicy!Parking: Plaza has lots of parking

My absolute favourite Korean restaurant in Waterloo! The fried chicken is extremely juicy, flavourful, and a great size. The kimchi fried rice is always a favourite of mine too. Not to mention the side dishes - the potato one is my favourite, so delicious! I always like getting the Rice Tea with my meal as well. The restaurant itself is very cozy and the ambiance is great - it can get busy, but that's just because the food is so good!

Portions are huge, and their prices are good. Their kimchi is SO good!! My friend and I ordered their Jjajangmyeon and Medium-sized Soy Garlic Chicken, they came with quite a few side dishes.We ate a lot but still had leftovers, as did many leaving the restaurant. Great if you’re a student

I found a few pieces of pubic hair in my kimchi fried rice, would not recommend coming here ever. And the older woman serving us was very disrespectful
