Great place. If you’re in the area, this is the place where I’ve gotten the best food and service. Food can be a lil pricey so it’s a place where if I’m paying for 2+ people, be ready to potentially spend 70+. Lots of choices on the menu. The fried rice is reasonably priced though at $15ish.

Absolutely delicious!!! Great service and nice employees. Our entrees and the side dishes are some of the best Korean food I’ve eaten in a while.

Having lived in Korea for 8 years, I’ve had my fair share of Korean restaurants all over the world, so I’ve got a good sense of what to expect. This place does a lot of things right. The food is great, and the portion sizes are perfect, which is always a win. The service could definitely improve.
I tried the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap), and it was excellent. The portion was just right, and the flavors were spot on — really satisfied my craving for a good bibimbap. I also had the 갈비탕 (Galbitang), which was hands down the best I’ve had in Washington so far. The broth was incredibly flavorful, and the meat was tender. I’ll definitely be coming back for that.
However, the service was a bit of a letdown. The staff aren’t the friendliest, and it’s a struggle to get their attention. They don’t seem to check on the tables regularly, which can be frustrating. Every time I’ve been, they rush you as soon as you order, even when you're the only customer in the restaurant. I’ve been here twice, and both times the service was pretty much the same.
I also tried the 냉면 (Naengmyeon), which wasn’t great. The noodles were cold, but the flavor was lacking, even though they gave a generous amount. Still, the food overall is solid, and I’d recommend it for the main dishes like the Galbi Bibimbap and Galbitang.
If they could improve the service a bit, this place would be near perfect. But the food alone is worth the visit!

Maybe she’s the owner or a cashier? I really didn’t like her attitude and tone. She was very rude in both Korean and English, even though she had a fake smile. I just ordered food and didn’t say much, but I felt really bad because she was rude every single time I tried to order or pay.

Love this place. I get the pork in the hot bowl. Makes the rice have a nice crispness to it. They give you some snacks ahead of your meal as well. Give this place a shot yourself it's freaking good. The staff are super nice to.

Food is delicious. My favorite Korean BBQ spot. Friendly service and fast.

Cozy and casual place serving all the popular dishes of Korean cuisine in America. Their staff works quickly but is spread thin. As long as you don't expect frequent stops at your table, you'll be happy! I have gotten their seafood tofu stew, mul-naengmyeon ( buckwheat noodles in cold beef broth) kalbi (beef short ribs), and grilled mackerel among other things. Everything has been tasty. Their cucumber kimchi is also really addictive. I'll bring all my friends who are interested in trying some authentic Korean food.

Delicious food and fast service.

Great spot for cold noodles on a hot summer day. Bulgogi was good and the small side dishes were delicious. Will be back to try the seafood pancake.

Jon Mendoza

Solid Korean food spot. Tofu soup is what they are known for and is 5 star. Portions are big and they are good either way the banchan refills. Seafood pancake was soggy though and was missing that crisp.

Best Korean restaurant in the area. Not too far from base. The servers are kind, entertaining and give the best service. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable.

We’ve been here years ago and remembered the food was good so we came back. Chicken teriyaki and kalbi were both really excellent meat quality and very tasty. Mulnungmyun was a very good one and I’d happily eat it any summer day. Dolsot bibimbap had excellent rice crisp quality but we found it underseasoned overall. Great service!
