I really liked coming in. In fact, I got 2 breakfast sandwiches, haha. It's clean, accommodating, and they care. Would definitely come back.

I have been wanting to try this place for months since I started a job in Old city. I finally made my way there and I was incredibly disappointed. I got the Beef bulgogi salad and everything about it really let me down. The egg was blasted to hell and completely overcooked, I had to dig through the bowl to find any beef at all, the rice was partially undercooked and everything in the bowl was lacking flavor and seasoning. All you could taste was the bulgogi sauce and I didn't even like that (I am a HUGE bulgogi fan). I was also expecting a bigger bowl for $13. Went in hoping for a new lunch spot but after that experience, I will not be coming back.

Cute little place with korean inspired food. You can find a bulgogi sandwich on croissant or bagel so the fusion is nice. Place is a little hidden so need to follow the signs but inside it is 2 floors so not too croweded.

The guy working here Friday at 11:30am saw I had a heavy suitcase and offered to keep it behind the counter while I drank my coffee upstairs. So helpful and thoughtful. 5 stars for that!

A nice little hidden Korean café, good food and good atmosphere.

They have your standard fare of coffees and some smoothies, sadly I noticed the smoothie list second otherwise I would have ordered that rather than a coffee. The latte was nothing special, and for 4.25$ for a small I'd say it's alright value.

Some sugars and other things off to the side, and plenty of milk options including soy and oat.

The menu isn't big but it doesn't have to be, if has standard fare breakfast and lunch options with some Korean bulgogi choices.

I had the breakfast bulgogi sandwich, and although I ordered non-spicy I do have to mention as a white guy who can't stand spicy at all, it was still slightly spicy. Nothing too bad but something to note. I had it on a croissant, and it was arguably small. About two thirds of a Wawa shorti. But for 6.55 I'd say it's good value. It was good but again, nothing special.

The atmosphere is quaint and it has a larger upstairs section with good seating so don't be fooled by the small lower section. I wish it was slightly cleaner, but that's getting into nitpicking territory.

I'd definitely rate this place a hard 4-4.5, nothing I'd go out of my way to go back to, but if I'm in the area and peckish or had some time to kill I'd definitely stop by. Don't get me wrong, it is very good for both value and taste, just not exceptionally special.

The Matcha was probably the worst I've ever had. Flavorless and too sweet, even the unsweetened one! Very disappointed that an Asian Cafe serves bad Matcha.

Super cute and chill place. I think there's a lot of students in there because it's dead silent. But I loved the atmosphere. It was so relaxing.

First time visiting and will deff be back when I’m back in Philly. I had a plain bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese. I also had a mango smoothie and a spicy tuna onigiri. It was all super delicious and fairly priced. Good customer service as well.
