Absolutely delicious, inspired menu. The owner is a JWU alum from Korea and is passionate about providing great food that's affordable for students in the area. Can't go wrong with a Bento box for lunch or the Korean Fried chicken anytime!

The food is good, but the service is TERRIBLE!!! In addition to generally lousy service, I feel slighted/insulted by the waitstaff over something extremely silly -- rice! The past 3 times I have ordered a big hot pot, I have asked the server for the rice that is supposed to come with it, the server replied that "we're out right now, it is cooking," and then I watched that very same server bring multiple bowls of rice to other tables (and never brought me any)! Do they think I'm dumb? Why won't they provide the rice? (And it's not that I was being cheap -- we spent >$40 per person.) Totally bizzare/insulting.

Ordered seafood pot, it was all frozen, not sure if that's normal, but not good. They give you a hot plate to cook your own food, but did not know when to turn it off? Could not finish food, servers didn't know menu and honestly couldn't hear them because they were so quiet. Truly would not recommend if you want a relaxing night out.

Amazing place to try Korean food right in the heart of downtown Prov!
If you’re ready to have the worst customer service of your life but have good food, then this is the place.We were seated right away but between placing our order and waiting for our food, it was over one hour. We only ordered one appetizer and three basic entrees.The worst part was waiting to get our check, there was no one in sight to waive down. One of us walked to the bar to ask for the check and a young brunette lady rudely told our friend “I am not a waitress.”Oh we’re sorry, we just didn’t know who to ask. That was utterly unnecessary. Then she came with the card reader, dropped it on the table, and walked away without a word said. We gladly paid with no tip.This is the first restaurant in my life with this abysmal service and unorganized staff.

This is a place that I would've walked right by and never given it another thought if I didn't have the Food Fights coupon for wings. It's so unassuming. So plain but OMG the food will surprise you. The wings are to die for. Dumplings...well, they were equally incredible. Lots of lip smacking sauce with crispy edges and soft on the inside. Oh Lordy. We were given complimentary Korean appetizers of kim chi and other pickled veges which were very good. Now, I don't want to get your expectations up too much because maybe you'll find this isn't your cup of tea but we sure enjoyed the meal. We'll be back.

I've been here 4 times in the last 1.5 years now. Twice by choice, and twice, my wife and I were invited by friends. Each time, hopeful that the next time is better because this place has so much potential.The food is fairly mid, and honestly, a tad mediocre. It's like a sorry attempt to pay homage to authentic Korean food (especially for the prices) without committing all the way. Some examples:1. The gimbap is pre-rolled and refrigerated with no meat in it. When they take your order, they ask you what kind of meat you'd like, and when it is served to you, they serve you a pre-rolled veggie gimbap and simply sprinkle your choice of meat on top. I have never ever seen that before in a Korean restaurant -- not even in a Korean grocery store/mart.2. The side dishes (banchan) don't even include kimchi!! What kind of Korean restaurant doesn't include kimchi as a side dish?!3. The bulgogi (pork or beef) is just not seasoned enough like bulgogi should taste. On my most recent visit here, I questioned if it was marinated at all.Some highlights are the portion sizes; aside from the banchan, the sizes of the entrees are reasonable for the price you pay. The big pot is great to share between 3 friends and its plenty. (Although I do wish there was more broth.)The service has always been good too. No complaints, despite the waitstaff being understaffed on some occasions.Also, the atmosphere has a great vibe and feel during the day and evening.I don't know if this is true or not but a friend (Korean) of mine who has lived in Providence now for 4 years stated that the management of this place has changed and the restaurant has since declined.Overall, the place is not terrible, but neither is it great.
