- can I use the bathroom?= it’s for customers only- if I buy something will you let me use it?= yes, here’s the most expensive drink you’ll ever buy, please sign this receipt asking for a tipI know this is a Seattle wide problem but it was so inconsiderate to blackmail me with a straight face like thatWell, I hope I return someday to try the food and maybe it will be good ?

I was a frequent visitor here back in college. The food was consistently good and service was nice! I personally liked this place better than Korean tofu house but both were good.

Tasty, affordable, fast. Took around 15 minutes to get my food when first entering. Food was delicious and plentiful. If you're a University student good to stop by and grab filling lunch between classes.

My worst dine-in experience ever!!!We ordered a combo (tofu + fish), they served the tofu first, and we wait for more than 20minutes, they still didn’t serve the fish. So we talked with them, they said that the it’s the first day of waitress to work there, so they confused. However, to solve the problem, they asked us to either pay for the tofu and leave, or order another fish again (they said that no matter what, they will charge us both the tofu and the fish price, rather than the combo price). We try to reason with them for a few minutes, but they didn’t apologize even to the end, even if we did nothing wrong!We ended up paying for the tofu full price without getting any fish, but We will never visit this restaurant ever again!!!

We've eaten here a handful of times and have always had a consistently, good experience. I'm still learning about Korean food and the servers are very nice and helpful when I have questions about different dishes. On this visit I upgraded to the hot stone Bibimbap, which is served in a sizzling hot stone bowl. The bottom layer of rice gets nice and crispy so it adds a slightly different texture to the dish. This was the first time I upgraded to the hot stone. I think it was only $2 more and in my opinion worth it. I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the tofu and we both loved it. The Bibimbap also comes with six small dishes of sides (Banchan). I love the macaroni salad and the pickled radish.This place is filled with Korean students which is always a good sign that an ethnic restaurant is serving authentic food! I will add that while the prices are a good value for what is served, this is a step up from some of the cheap student food places on The Ave. Not a fancy place, simple décor and tables, but clean and good service! I love to come here on a rainy, Seattle day. Comfort food!As a bonus, we always stop at Magus Books next door to pursue their used book selection. Magus is a throw-back, old-school book store and worthy of a review of their own. Always find a treasure of two there.

This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the area! I love all the dishes and the service is great! I haven't had a bad experience here at all. Their tofu soup is bomb. I recently had their black bean noodles and it was so yummy! The portion was huge too, so I was able to take some leftovers home as a second meal. :) the ambiance feels pretty chill and homely. I can't wait to try more of their dishes!

Food was a bit pricey compared to others. We ordered beef soup with stone rice and it was tasty. Definitely worth trying!

My go-to Korean spot in Seattle. Their tofu/bowl combos are great for a double meal. The tofu in the soup is so soft and jiggly. The mild isn't too spicy. I like to let the bibimbap sit a little longer so the rice is crispier on the bottom. Lots of veggies and unlimited side dishes. I think they may have the best macaroni salad ever.

와, 기가 막히네. This place has the rudest workers I've ever met. They basically talk s*** about you in front of your face if they don't think you speak Korean. Luckily (or unluckily for me), I could understand everything they were saying. Not only that, this place has the blandest Korean food I've ever had in the area. The owners of this place apparently have never heard of salt (or flavor, really). This place's food (including their "specialty" - soondubu) tastes worse than the instant BCD packs you can get at H Mart for 25% of the price. The food here is an insult to Koreans and Korean cuisine in general. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. 좆 까 씹 새 끼 야.
soondubu flavor missing
