Arrived at 8 am on a Thursday and the place was closed. Need to update their operating hours so customers don't waste time.

Been coming to this place for a year or so whenever I wanted a midnight meal. Today was my last. The food was originally VERY good, but it has turned really bad. My fried rice was wet and mushy and the chicken in it tasted boiled and bland. They added old and discolored cilantro, which was disgusting. I couldnt finish the plate. My Pad Kapow was better, but they used very little beef and it was very tough. This is not what I would expect from a $35 meal.

It tastes like a high schooler makes the food, because a high schooler makes the food. 😅 My wrap was drenched in a thin gochujang sauce. They didn't have to do that to it. I might go back and try other things.
Have only been twice and went one midnight to try foods. Remember food was really, really good. Ordered same thing (udon noodle soup) - this morning was super salty. Not sure if they added too much sauce or salt to the soup. Partner ordered cheesy jiggae and the cheese was not melted completely even though it was warm, instead it was clumpy. But the saving grace was the spam musibi that was really good.
Not sure if morning staff and evening staff are different, but I don’t like the inconsistency. Will give another chance though.

PLZ BE CAREFUL IF YOU SHOP HERE WITH DEBIT/CREDIT!!!
I have had great food from this place but never again after last night. I went in to grab the Mandu-Guk soup for 13.77. Usually the soup comes with rice but they stopped serving it with rice and I unfortunately wasn’t notified. Also I paid 13.77 for my food yet the establishment changed the price to 24.99 the next morning. Please be careful of this place. For them to make me pay twice the price for my soup after forgetting the rice was unforgivable. I will not be back and I used to love this place. There was a friendly lady in charge, it seems it doesn’t have that same hospitality as it used to. Now i’m getting charged twice the amount for a soup I used to have good memories of. I called to get the issue fixed but they believe it’s a tipping issue despite the fact I did not leave a tip making my order costs twice the amount. Normally restaurants would fix this easily but they pretend it’s a nonchalant problem which makes this whole thing come off as fishy. Was I robbed intentionally?

Absolutely a great experience despite a limited menu (while cleaning the kitchen). The games kept my kids entertained during the wait, the food was excellent, and they assisted me with choosing options that were available for us. If this place were closer to home, I’d easily be a frequent customer!
Parking: Parking is located in a parking garage just in front of the restaurant.
Kid-friendliness: The board games and foosball table kept my kids off electronics and entertained the entire time!!

I ordered kimbap with bulgogi through Uber Eats and unfortunately when it arrived it did not have the bulgogi beef I paid extra for… it was still pretty good but I was still a bit disappointed.

What a nice surprise. I ordered the Jjapaguri (Ram-don, pictured) and it was one of the best COMFORT FOOD meals I've ever had. Okay yeah it's instant noodles, and yeah it's not what I consider steakhouse aged medium rare prime filet, but why do I get the same satisfaction for the price of an average pub meal??! Noodles were satisfyingly spicy, and bulgogi topping was scrumptiously sweet. The cucumbers were a nice fresh cool crunchy addition and contrast to the saucy noodles. I feel like this is what I would make if I was a mixed japanese-korean kid in America taking a break from my servers after a 12hr gaming binge. What the heck did I just come across!! My only regret is ordering it delivered because the egg didn't hold long and ended up being slow cooked, but I can imagine the yolk-xplosion if getting it at the table.
For consideration, I saw open late hrs - double the bulgogi and half the noodles would be a perfect post-partying meal (NightOwl-guri). The small seasoned bag of popcorn on the side was a nice touch, thank you! I hope you open a spot in my town.

After having a late dinner, I was pleased that the cafe was open late. Upon arriving at the address provided by Google, we found a sign indicating that the restaurant was situated at the back of the building, making it easy to locate. Upon entering, we noticed the cafe had a deli-like ambiance typical of those in office buildings. Finding a place serving Korean food at such late hours was welcoming. The lighting was dimmed, and the air conditioning, with poor ventilation, seemed inadequate.
The touch-panel screen at the cashier's counter made ordering food convenient, and the staff promptly delivered our food to our table when it was ready. The bibimbap, pork donburi, and sweet and spicy fried chicken we ordered were satisfactory. However, the portion of chicken seemed smaller, and it was served with just a bowl of rice. Overall, our order didn't come with any additional side dishes except for a small salad.
Considering the cafe's late operating hours, the prices for the food and drinks seemed reasonable. However, I believe that some improvements to the cafe's interior ambiance, such as better organization and lighting, would enhance the overall dining experience.
