Loved this place and so sad to see that they are now closed as of July 2023.

Fresh, healthy, delicious food. Be careful if it's your first experience with Korean food, though. We got our normal spread of dishes when my mom was visiting and it upset her stomach a bit.

We stopped here on our way through town. It was an awesome place to grab good food. The restaurant is in the back of the shop. Pick up some homemade jerky or the cucumber kimchi on the way out, too!

Small friendly place inside the Asian Market. Limited menu but the selection is good. Very tasty dishes.

***After COVID I only order the food to go. Packaging is always well done and they do their best to accommodate your order which I appreciate because I have OCD. There's many vegetables I hate and others I can only eat when prepared in a certain way so when ordering out I tend to say "only green onion and carrots no other veggies" etc. I really appreciate their conscientiousness! I've fasted, detoxed, and I'm allergic to MSG and I have never gotten sick from their food. It's healthy and excellent. Thanks for your patience and excellent service dear ?☺️ She's always ready with the food in 10 or 15 minutes as she indicates too! Sometimes I decide to go just for her crispy cabbage salad with homemade sauce ? Everything tastes good!!! I think it's because it's fresh and made from scratch.---------Love the convenience of the store and the fabulous restaurant inside that utilizes quality ingredients from the store and tastes so soooo good!!!Tasty cheese beef Ramen, chicken teriyaki rice, and fried fish with shrimp. Comes with sea weed, kimchi, and a delicious white sauce for fish.All this for $26 plus free barley tea?!Absolutely incredible experience, need to return!! (Drools and pats extended stomach)**Nice enough to accommodate extra plates so my brother and I could share each dish.Nice bilingual waitress who speaks English but is willing to listen to you fumbling around in Korean and respond back. Definitely recommend all around ^_^

If you like Korean markets you will like this one. The bistro have all the good things made to order, located inside a good sized market with produce, meat counter and lots of portioned out sides to impulse buy. The beef short ribs were good and came with kimchee, and the spam musubi was perfect comfort food. Thanks!

The food is so good and authentic and the ladies are always so nice. I'm a big fan of the soups and ban chan. It's inside the Asian Market so this gem was hard to find!

I ordered tteokbokki and Kimbap via Doordash and was pleasantly surprised, especially by the Kimbap. You could definitely get more quantity wise from hmart; however, the quality and taste of the kimbap was superb. My husband and I gobbled it up. The tteokbokki however had only a very small portion and the sauce felt a little on the weaker side, it was missing the powerful flavors that I love. The redeeming quality of the dish was the rice cakes themselves. They were so chewy and tender. If you prefer milder tastes the tteokbokki would be perfect for you.

I order dolsot bibimbap to go. Dolsot bibimbap should sit in a stone container to get the rice crispy. I received bibimbap with normal white rice. I never checked my receipt to confirm that I was charged for regular bibimbap, but I recommend you just order regular bibimbap if you get take out, to avoid any confusion. The restaurant has an open kitchen, which looked pretty messy, so I docked them a ⭐. Otherwise, the food was OK.

Yummy! But I wish they would bring back all the side dishes that would come with the meal. If there is 4 people there is not enough of the sides(Kimichi, cucumber kimchi, and bean sprout salad). I wish there was more! Especially of the kimchi I'm a huge fan! I go to the store that the restaurant is inside of just for the Kimichi
This place is definitely a hole in the wall, I wish more people knew about it to help bring them more business! The two ladies that works here are really kind and sweet. Its inside of a Korean market so if you don't know about it you just wouldn't know and it's kinda hard to find. I only came about this place because one of my Korean friend had taken me about a year ago! Everything I've tried here has been so good and flavorful. They don't skimp out on any of the ingredients like most Korean restaurants do. We got a squid and veggie stir fry and it was so good, plenty of squid and veggies! Most places that I order this same dish from seems to add a bunch of sliced onions to cover up that they only give you a few pieces of squid. My boyfriend got the army stew and sheesh, I was super impressed with all the different ingredients they put in there. It was so filling and hearty, the flavor was perfect! They also provide you with their choice of ban chan, I really liked the cucumber one they had for us!

I'm so glad they have many of their items back! All the food tastes amazing! The spicy fried chicken was juicy & tender and I appreciated that there was plenty of spicy sauce. The jjolmyun was delicious -the noodles were chewy and veggies tasted fresh. The Jjapchae rice (make sure to mix it!) - the noodles and veggies were cooked well and the sauce was good - not too salty nor bland! The omurice was such a large portion. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Ordered here through Doordash and the food was an absolute delight and the portion is huge. I am so glad I purchased a pound of kimchi + sides because I've never had kimchi that tastes as good as what they have! I wonder if they sell it in jars.

Small but authentic. Located inside an Asian market grocery store, 8 tables of about four seats each.
