This place deserves the hype! We came in on a Friday night but were surprised the place had no diners. We stayed for almost three hours and there were only two other tables occupied. I’ve been to Kim’s so many times and I think this place is up there with Kim’s.
Not too busy, but the food was exactly what I wanted. If you are Korean and want some good Korean food, gotta come. I got mul-nang-myun omg hit the spot
Everything we had was soooo delicious. We had the premium galbi, tofu kimchi jeyuk, nengmyun, dwenjang jjigae and the seafood pancake. Seriously I ate so much because all the food was amazing. Another plus is that when you leave, the bbq smell doesn’t stick to your clothes like other bbq places. Highly recommend!
Best genuine Korean food in Philly area.
I dine in with a party of 6 including kids on a Sunday night. To my surprise, it was quiet! There are only 2-3 other tables along with ours.
The restaurant is pretty clean and does have a great ventilation because there are barely any BBQ smells! The server basically cooked the food for us the entire dinner in an order. She even cut the meats into smaller pieces for my kids. That is definitely very considerate and caring.
We did a combo set and add a galbi dish. The combo set comes with steam eggs, a bibimbap hot pot / white rice, different amount of meats and chicken, squid, etc. Majority of the meats seem marinated but to be honest, I think they are still not flavorful enough. Other places seem to have a better taste and meat quality than here. Overall not bad, but just missing that flavor and texture.
I voiced my displeasure with one of the meals they served and they refused to take it off if the bill even though I didn’t eat it. Waiters were especially inattentive and roaming around instead of helping customers
I’m new to Philly and it was my FIRST time trying Korean food. I was looking for something familiar (like Asian fried rice). The server advised me to get BIBIMBAP. It was DELICIOUS!!! I haven’t had this good of food for a while. Fresh, clean, tasty and the portion size/ cost very fair. This will definitely be one of my go to places! A+!
Went on a Sunday night. Amazing food, reasonable cost, not so crowded(good or bad not sure). Not sure about the constant kpop being played on TV's, but I guess that's the trend these days in Korean restaurants.
Great food and great service. Had a group of 7 of us. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They also assisted in the cooking at the table and explained all of the details of what everything was. Food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend.
I love their old-style Korean restaurant interior and how spacious the tables are. The side dishes were great, and the service was quick and efficient. It’s a fantastic place to bring someone who has never tried Korean BBQ before (my friend loved everything she tried). Plus, it’s conveniently located right next to H Mart!

We stopped by after grocery shopping at H Mart. Usually, we eat at the food court, but this time, we noticed this restaurant was open for lunch, so we decided to give it a try. Since it was still early, we skipped the BBQ menu and opted for other dishes. To our surprise, the food was excellent!
The price was slightly higher compared to the food court, but it was well worth it. The side dishes were very good, and they serve hot 보리차 (barley tea) if you ask.
Highly recommend the 오징어볶음 (spicy stir-fried squid) and 육개장 (spicy beef soup). Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying.

Visited Philly from LA. The food here is better than Korean BBQ in Koreatown! Service and atmosphere are also great!

I really enjoyed the korean bbq. They gave a lot more meat than many other places, and they helped cut and cook the meat. The meat was also very enjoyable. I never felt like I was going to run out of water as well, even though we were in a party of 12 for my friend's birthday. The staff were very kind and helped us store and cut the birthday cakes.

The food was amazingly tasteful, and we had plenty of it to spare. Wonderful variety of meats and vegetables. If you're a carnivore!! You will feel completely elated.
