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."

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.

Ordered the ddukbokki and sundae combo via ubereats. There was a dead fly inside the sundae. Absolutely disgusting.

I've been coming to this establishment for 5+ years, especially for every birthday. It is hands down my favorite restaurant. There is nothing they can't cook well and I've never been disappointed with them. Highly recommend visiting!
One of the best tteokbokkis I’ve had in a long time! It was on the spicy side but so good I wanted to take the leftover sauce home with me so I can eat it with rice. :DTheir sweet and spicy chicken is pretty good too!I rarely if ever leave reviews for food and it also takes a lot to impress me when it comes to food.This place definitely was a very pleasant surprise, and we will be coming back again!It’s now my favorite Korean bunshik!

Nice korean comfort food hideaway that seats about 30 max. Good sized portions and flavorful. Plenty of parking & there is an outside elevator for handicap access. I had the kimbap & steamed dumplings.Wheelchair accessibility: outside elevator
Great Korean street food! The sampler platter let’s you try a bunch of things and is very freshly made. Will keep coming back!

Really yummy food. Service is pretty much nonexistent -- we came in, someone took our order and then disappeared. Had to find someone to give us the bill which was a little strange, but wow, the food made up for it!Ambiance is nothing special, there's a TV playing. We came on a weekday evening and there was nobody there. We ordered the Holic Sampler, which had an assortment of foods. I think it's meant for 3-4+ people to share but my friend and I were super hungry and practically finished the whole platter.I loved the diversity of the sampler - there was kimbap, tteokbokki, fried mandu, coleslaw and even sundae! Super super yummy array of foods. Tteokbokki was noticeably on the spicier side compared to other restaurants in Annandale.Definitely a great price for what you get in the platter...I will definitely be back! You can split 2-4 people with the platter which can cut costs to like $5-15 each person. So worth the price and so filling!

By no means the friendliest service but the food was pretty good and not too bad for the price. I wouldn’t recommend dining in but this is a solid place for some Korean bunsik take out food.

The food here is very similar to the authentic taste you can get in Korea. Would definitely recommend.
