It’s our go-to place when we want something warm to eat. Food is delicious, service is good. Never had any problems, so it’s the safest choice for us.

Went there for lunch and got the short rib combo and dumplings. Loved it and will be going back. Everything tasted fresh. The kimchi pork jjigae was perfect, I was so stuffed I couldn't finish it. The banchan was also super fresh. They were busy but they busted ass getting food out hot. Perfect lunch for someone by themselves. I bought the kimbap for dinner and it was so good, much better than the hmart one. Got to go try their fried chicken next.

Very good experience here. Very pleasant atmosphere, nice and relaxed. Ordered the Kimchi-jjigae and it was very tasty. Word of warning with the soups here - there arrive very hot! Side dishes paired well with the soup, and the portion size was generous. Servers were pleasant and attentive - will definitely be going back; I saw a lot of dishes on the menu I need to try, and the prices are are not expensive.

I ordered the Army Stew via DoorDash pickup and it was delicious 😋. Ive never had army stew before but the description definitely made it sound appetizing and intrigued my curiosity. My order was ready when I arrived 15min after I placed my order. So efficiency was an A+.
Atmosphere is clean and mellow. Very chill and homey feel. Like cafe vibe. It doesn't feel like a bar, it isnt loud and its very spacious.
Now you're wondering why the 3 stars....well...my issue was the packaging. Putting really HOT soup/stew in a compostable bowl is crazy work. My soup was in a covered compostable bowl and the bowl was inside a very thin plastic bag (think vegetable bags from the produce section). I live 5 min away and in the thin bag my bowl was already leaking. Im happy they added that additional protection. When i arrived home, I was transferring my stew into my soup bowl and the compostable bowl collapsed right on the table, spilling extremely hot stew everywhere and on my phone. I was able to salvage what was left into my bowl.
If you want soup/stew, its best to eat it in the restaurant or hopefully they change their packaging bc hot soup/stew in a compostable bowl is wild. I get we all want to be eco friendly but if youre gonna use a thin plastic bag (no compostable) to catch a leaking bowl then are we really being eco friendly with a plastic lid as well? My suggestion would maybe just not offer soup/stew on the go or use a different container that is more secure and reliable.

The tofu soup and banchan were absolutely wonderful and pure comfort food. While the dumplings weren't quite my personal favorite, the rest of my party absolutely loved them.

Extremely disappointing dining experience.
We arrived at 9:00 PM, and the restaurant closes at 10:00 PM. Yet by 9:05, we were already being rushed to place our order, with staff saying the kitchen was about to close. If that’s the case, why allow customers in at all? What’s worse, another couple was seated after us, which makes it clear this wasn’t about closing time, but selective treatment.
The most frustrating part was the food timing. Our chicken wings didn’t arrive until after 9:30 PM. Then starting around 9:45, a young waitress repeatedly pressured us to pay the bill—eventually coming back every three minutes. Are customers supposed to dine or race against the clock?
We were served a plate of piping hot wings and expected to finish them within 15 minutes. That’s unrealistic. We are people trying to enjoy a meal, not being rushed through a timed challenge.
If the restaurant is concerned about orders delaying staff from finishing their shift, that should be clearly communicated upfront—along with any time limits. Instead, we were made to wait for food, then rushed out aggressively.
With this kind of service attitude, does it really deserve a tip? Honestly, no.

We have been coming here for years and it’s always been great! Tonight was an exception - the usually kind older ladies weren’t present, and a younger woman was taking ordered. She rushed us to order, and came over multiple times to say that they were closing in 12 minutes, then asked us to pay immediately and had a very bad attitude. We didn’t stay past closing, and came in about an hour before closing - this was not the first time we have done this, and we have always been treated well.
The food was pretty good as usual. It’s one of the better places outside of LA Ktown that we have found in the area.
I hope that the service does not continue to go downhill, as I really like this establishment!

Food was OK. Service was poor. Their first year was good, service went downhill in year 2. Pricey. Look for other places.
Tried this Korean spot and honestly I’m really impressed. The food tasted very authentic, and every dish was well seasoned and full of flavor.
We ordered the spicy beef tofu soup combo with BBQ chicken, and my friend got the kalbi. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The banchan were especially tasty and clearly made with care.
Service was friendly and attentive even though the place was busy. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, which made the whole experience even more comfortable.
I also love that they sell side dishes you can take home. Overall, this place definitely exceeded my expectations and I’ll be coming back again.

Food is really good, authentic, its definitely on the pricier side and the portions are small when it comes to the meats, the bulgogi is minuscule pieces which is just an illusion to make it seem like a big portion which im not the fondest of, other than that ive had no problem with the service here and or the quality of the food.

We arrived around 6pm on a weekend and were sat quickly despite majority of the restaurant being full. We order the hot stone bibimbap; the flavor was good and the banchan tasted fresh. We also ordered some beef and tofu soup which was good, but for $20 dollars it was no bigger than a regular bowl of soup. It was pricey compared to even seattle and was the same price as the bibimbap which was also at least twice as big. The menu points this out too, but you can only refill side dishes once and for any leftover containers you need they charge a small fee.

I loved the seafood tofu soup they have here. I ordered it a bit too spicy, but it was good. The ban chan is nice as well, the best Kim chi I had in a long time. $20.99, it definitely filled me up. Next time I want to try more things from here.
