The receptionist of this store is a complete racist, if you want to be discriminated against, as long as you are not Korean, this store is the best choice!

This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten, the attitude of the waiter and the front desk is very bad, and the appetizers are not served. When I asked about the progress of the food, they said directly that they were busy. Please cancel it for me. Don't come unless you want to spend money on suffering.

It's a good place for dinner after class, especially if you want to have some Korean food. Service was attentive and had many choices on the menu. Average food quality with reasonable price for students.

No where it says that there is no dine in until 4:30pm. Plus there were people eating at tables so like make it make sense? I’ve been here before and I was surprised to hear this. Hopefully next time they can clear up communication.
The food is great, it’s just a little cramped but cozy.

Awful service, the waiter got my order wrong and then came back out and told me to listen to him better next time. The food is mediocre and does not justify the attitude of the waiter.
Edit: I'd like to acknowledge that I both spoke my order and pointed to the exact item on the menu that I wanted to order, and that the waiter spoke through a muffled mask in a loud rush hour restaurant. I acknowledge that it was not 100% clear what the waiter said back as a result, and would ask for clarification in the future. I also think that the waiter should take card to speak clearly and not blame this miscommunication on a lack of close attention. I agree that clear communication is a shared responsibility 🙂
The food quality ranges from decent Korean dishes to some of the worst I’ve ever had. The fried chicken is especially bad. The waitstaff isn’t the most welcoming unless you’re Korean. I visited twice. The first time, I was with Korean friends and spoke Korean, and the service was excellent. The second time, I was the only Korean in the group, everyone else being non-Koreans and the treatment was noticeably different.

Awful service. I asked to be moved tables, and they basically ignored me and made a vague gesture. When I moved, they didn't assist at all in helping move anything.

really really poor service! we even have to ask for the tissue for 2 more times, and a 18% tip is required. So disgusting. Don’t come.

Vegetarian Mandoo Ramyun was exactly what i needed on this rainy day. One of the few places still open at 2 PM on thanksgiving. Ordered for takeout. I think some of you reviewers are used to being kissed on the cheek by your waiters. I avoided coming here for a long time because of some of the reviews, but the service was good. No attitude detected. Left satisfied. Ramyun was delish especially with added siracha. Came with that pickled yellow vegetable i forget the name of rn. Veggie menu has more than two dishes to select from which is a lot better than a lot of places. Plan to try this place again. Thank you. ✌🏼

The food and service here is amazing. I’ve tried their galbitang (beef soup), soondubu (soft tofu soup), and LA galbi (marinated short ribs). Everything has been very tasty. Also very reasonable price!

A great casual dining spot that reminds me of kimbap heavens in Korea. They offer a range of authentic home cooked style Korean food and the service is awesome. Not a place for fancy dates but more for comfort food when you miss Korea. The staff is very detailed too and when I asked for no eggs they kindly told me that their bibimbap sauce may contain eggs too and if that is okay. When the staff goes out of their way to ask about my dietary restrictions I always feel safer eating in non vegetarian spots. Thank you for making me feel safe to eat in your restaurant. I’ll definitely be back - 10/10

The place was busy so it was understandable that we had to wait about 20 minutes or so for our food. The workers were nice but was a bit disappointed. Ordered 쟁반짜장면,탕수육 and 김치찌개. The 짜장면 and the 김치찌개 was alright... however the 탕수육 tangsooyuk was more like popcorn chicken than 탕수육. I was expecting an actual 탕수육 since I was really looking foward to it. But other than that, the experience here was pretty mid.

The food is always spectacular but the store is just way too small to keep up with the demand. I’ve been here on two separate occasions where I was turned away because it would take “30-40 minutes” for me to be seated, and even longer for the food to be ready. I would say the best time to go would be during a weekday lunch or right when the store opens on a weekend. Friday nights and weekend nights will always be too packed to get a seat in a decent amount of time. Their soondubu and naengmyeon however are delicious and very authentic, always bursting with flavor. The store appears to be run by Korean people. They also play Korean drama which is very nice to watch.
