I took takeout rib soup, but the meat was so tough that I couldn't eat it.

I honestly do not understand how anyone could rate this place less than 5 stars. I have been here atleast 10-15 times and every single time has been a great experience. The food looks and tastes amazing, and the staff has been nothing but friendly to my fiancé and I. We have been to all the expensive/ fine dining restaurants in the area, and I would much rather have Kimchi instead. They do an awesome job here.

Very friendly and nice staff and good food but the tofu soup is extremely spicy even though it is listed as a low spice item. They have gluten free choices.Dietary restrictions: A few gluten free optionsParking: Many spots

Food was tasty. Wait for service and food after ordering was a bit long. I would certainly come back to try some other dishes.

We were seated quickly but took 20m for someone to take our order. Food then took an hour and 15 minutes to come out. It was okay, not the best Korean food I’ve ever had. I got the spicy pork, LA galbi, steamed dumplings, fatty beef udon. All of the dishes were just okay, flavors weren’t special. The steamed dumplings tasted like they were frozen and microwaved. The table next to us (not even 2ft away) had someone sneezing and coughing loudly without covering his mouth. Overall experience was mid to say the least.

The place is run down, even their sign isn't lit. Service seems fine but the food is strange. It tastes a bit off. It's edible but it's not good. Also overpriced. It's like bad Chinese more so than Korean. The kimchi itself is good and so is the pickle on the side but main dishes were meh.

The food was very good! I liked their rice cakes. I think that their homemade kimchi could be better. Overall, I liked this place.

The place was good, there was no wait when we got there and were able to sit down and get served rather quickly. The food also came out in a good time with not too long of a wait. We tried a bunch of their dishes and weren't blown away by any of them. The teriyaki was thick and overly sweet, the dumplings were too thick and the dipping sauce lacked flavor. The interior was nice with plants and solid wood. It seemed a little outdated with pictures of food up on the walls and could use some refinishing.
