I ordered the soondae guk, a traditional Korean blood sausage soup usually served hot in stoneware with sliced soondae, veggies, and a rich broth.
The best thing here is the price — it’s cheap, which is rare for Korean food. The food came out fairly quickly, but since it was served in stoneware, I expected it to be piping hot — instead, it was just lukewarm. Even worse, the broth was incredibly bland, lacking the depth and seasoning you'd normally expect from this dish. The portion of soondae itself was also disappointing — maybe 6 inches max, cut up, which felt stingy for a dish centered around it.
The banchan (side dishes) included store-bought kimchi and sweet soy peanuts — nothing special, but not bad either. Overall, it’s one of those “you get what you pay for” experiences.
The cafeteria-style seating area was a bit dirty, but that’s likely not their responsibility. Still, it impacts the overall vibe. Also, no napkins or hand sanitizer available — both are kept behind the counter, which makes the place feel a bit unwelcoming and overly cautious.
After eating, you’re expected to place your tray on a rolling cart, which is fair, but reinforces that this is more fast-food than full-service.
Overall: A cheap meal that arrives fast, but the soup was bland, the portions were small, and the dining setup could be friendlier.

My wife and I dine here often because the food is the best. It's above a Korean food market in a simple food court. We usually purchase some additional side dishes from the market which is something you couldn't do in I regular restaurant.

I keep coming back to this spot for Korean food because it’s always good and never a hassle. There’s usually a line but it moves fast and I’ve never waited more than 25 minutes even when it’s busy. The menu is huge and the food is great for the price. My favorite is the spicy pork with tofu and kimchi because it’s full of flavor and always hits the spot. I also love the free peanuts marinated in soy sauce since they’re a nice little bonus. If you want tasty, affordable Korean food with quick service, this place is a no-brainer.

Good and quick korean food. Just make sure you go upstairs to find this place. There were no signs that I could see from the parking lot.
Convinience on top grocery market.
They always provide good food...
I liked their Seolleongtang (ox bone soup) and stone pot bimbimbop! Their banchan (side dish) was fresh and yummy. I liked how their seafood pancake was very fluffy and not too oily. But if you’re more into crunchy ones you might not like it!
The kalbi tang is delicious! I order that every time I go there.

Our favorite place to eat at HMart. Each meal comes with sides (a root vegetable and/or some flavored Peanuts), miso soup, Kimchi, etc. Everything is delicious. Our favorites include #18 Dolsot Bibim Bab, #42 Duck Mandu Kuk, #23 Bulgogi Dolsot.
