Tried a slew of things here. It all tastes authenticate and warms the heart. Here's my recommendations:
The Boba is much cheaper than your mall kiosk run by teenagers, and much better. For starters try either the brown sugar or taro.
Tteokbokki is a safe bet. If you prefer chicken, do the chicken Tteok. It's to die for!
Their sweet Hotteok is heaven. Try that too.
Can't go wrong with anything here. I'll be coming back to try their noodles and Korean hot dogs.
There are a lot of pictures on the wall with customers and the owner (I pressume). I need to find out how to get in on that action.
Bonus trivia: the place is pronounced "Sah-rahng-ee-yah" based on the Hangeul, and it means "This is love".

Sorry didn't take pictures. This a hidden gem on the southeast side of Provo. Wings and beef bulgogi were bomb. Sausage/cheese stick was good. Would go again!

Amazing little restaurant. The Korean food was absolutely delicious, authentic and the staff felt like I was visiting my own family. They're amazing and so unbelievably accommodating and friendly. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place.

Unfortunately the quality has changed since they hired out different cooks. When it first opened we were obsessed and my husband said it tasted just like in Korea. But recently they have non-asian cooks and I know that's weird to say but we can tell the quality has changed. It seems like the recipes changed and the meat isn't as high quality anymore. It's not as good as it used to be. Try Kokos lunchbox instead for now. I hope they take the feedback and make improvements!

The atmosphere isn't Korean, but the fried chicken is phenomenal and authentic!!! They have both boneless thigh pieces and bone-in wings but we got the boneless. We ordered the yangnyeom chikin (양념치킨/sweet and spicy red sauce) combo and an order of the soy chikin (닭강정) on the side. The soy wasn't so great, the sauce was too sticky, the chicken over-cooked and a little soggy at the same time (I don't know if they know the double fry method that gets it extra crunchy while still juicy on the inside) but the yangnyeom tasted just like ordering from your favorite chikin jeom on a relaxing weekend evening in Seoul. They even have the chimaek mu! (치맥무) The pickled radish in white vinegar that is a must have when eating chikin and beer in Korea. It did come with sesame seeds on top while I prefer the strips of green onion or scallions (padalk/파닭) but definitely authentic and definitely delicious! I'll be picking up their 2 lb option on my next trip through the area for certain!
Parking: The parking lot feels like pulling into a gas station parking lot. I only came during lunch but based on the sign in their window a lot of latinos steal the parking for the restaurant next door at dinner.

I don’t think I’ve had a Ramly burger (that I didn’t make myself) since living in Malaysia. I think it was the best thing I ordered. I also got the mamak mee goreng (fried noodles/lo mein) and the roti chanai. All were delicious, but the burger was the star. Get that if you’re doing just one thing.
Went here for the first time and got the chicken wings with red sauce! They were so good! I will definitely be going back.

Boba and bulgogi beef here are both going to have me coming back! Everything we have tried has been great tho and the owner is very nice. Don't let the fact that it's in a gas station fool you. The food is awesome! I actually like that because it reminds me more of a place I'd actually find in Asia somehow. This is now a regular stop for us...

This place is authentic as can be. The location is an old gas station and don’t let that drive you away because you will miss out on some good Korean food. Also, you have to try the Yuzu sherbet. 10/10 recommend

Best Asian food in Utah County!! We moved here from California and couldn't find good and/or authentic sushi anywhere until we tried this little mom & pop gas station shop. We were amazed by the cute interior, super friendly service, and delicious food. There's also a market selling all kinds of international foods. Everything we tried was excellent and flavorful, unlike basically any other food in Utah. We'll be back!
