Honestly if you want kimbap this is the place to go. I have been going to red holic since 2010 and the owners have been consistently changing however the current owner knows how to do bunshik! Twigims are so crispy, tteokbokki and kimbaps are perfect, soondae is alright. Do not expect a five star restaurant level service here because that is simply not what korean bunshick is about. Come here for the affordable, wonderful, delicious food!
The food was decent but they need to know what food goes with what.
We ordered spicy hot cold noodles & kimbap that are usually served with warm/clear soup in other Korean restaurants but not at this restaurant. The warm/clear soup is to relieve the spiciness of the hot cold noodles & the chocking hazard from the dry seaweed of kimbap. I asked the server if we can get some warm/clear soup, he simply said, "They don't come with it." with a very indifferent expression and tone. No offer of any other soup nor refill of drinks.
He was consistently unfriendly and with the attitude of "I really don't want to be here" when serving the food and bringing the check.

Very nice and friendly people, food was awesome. My daughter loved the spiral fried Korean potato on a stick (don’t know the name ?) bulgogi rice was awesome not to mention the fried chicken. I’m absolutely coming back
The food was ok. Nothing special. The guy at the reception was the rudest employee I have ever encountered. It was evident that he didn’t care and didn’t want to be there. Customers were not there to be served. We were simply nuisance to who was busy looking at his phone. The owner should fire the guy.
Not homestyle cooking so much as sort of fast/street food. Excellent tteokbokki and kimbap, my favorite to order when I'm in the mood. The tteokbokki actually has some spice to it unlike many I've ordered at other restaurants. I'm also quite partial to the tempura, which gives you a nice selection of sweet potatoes, pumpkin, onions, imitation crab, and more.If I'm just ordering for myself, I tend to get kimbap (tuna, cheese, or spam) and tteokbokki, although that's really too much food for me. If I'm in a group, tteokbokki and the Holic sampler tends to be the best option. I'm not the biggest fan of soondae (or any cuisine's blood sausages) so I've usually asked them to sub it for something else and they've been accommodating but I wouldn't fault them if they stopped.I noticed last time I was in that they now offer some take home soups/stews and banchan like a mini market, which is very nice.The store itself is somewhat hard to find. It's in the downstairs portion of the building so not very visible from the street. The parking lot is small and right next to the parking lot for the 9292 complex, although not connected for some reason- there's a fence between them.Highly recommend.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible- down stairs into a narrow "alley" at entrance.
We went there for the first time based on a friend's recommendation. As soon as we walked in, I didn't feel good about the attitude of the employee. He had a very indifferent expression and tone. They were consistently unfriendly when serving the food or bringing the check. The food wasn't incredibly delicious, but it was decent."
Great Korean street food! The sampler platter let’s you try a bunch of things and is very freshly made. Will keep coming back!

i ordered the original tteokbokki and the portion was good for the price, which was only $9 so pretty cheap compared to other small korean restaurants nearby. next time i probably would’ve tried one of their tteokbokki sets. overall the place is very cozy and the service was friendly and fast!

Their service was horrible, especially the server(young guy) never greets, never hosts, never says anything to customers. I don't even understand how he got hired...

This is a hidden gem with tasty food and an intimate dining room. Based on the interior design, refrigerated display of packaged Korean food, and the food itself, this place is CLEAN. The food tasted fresh and flavorful and the price is very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back.
