The first time I came here I had a wonderful experience but each subsequent time it was less and less enjoyable. I'm having a hard time articulating what has changed because I ordered the same thing, but something about the quality has lowered. And the prices I think went up a little.

Was trying to have a peaceful meal after a stressful week, but was greeted with a hostile treatment instead. The servers were really nice but the manager(a guy) who I presume was the owner for some reason was only bitter towards me and my sis as opposed to a bunch of guys dinning in. It was almost closing time, and as we were asking for a togo box, we were approached by the guy saying that we were “slow”. I noticed that he only approach us and not the other group of guys in another table. I just hope the dissimilar attitude wasn’t racially driven.

Best Korean food on the ave. Would give 5 stars if they remove the minimum one order per person rule.

I ordered one of the soups and there was barely any meat and noodles...basically all soup. They didn't even give any green onions which normally should come on the side so I had to ask for more.
The bibimbap was majority just rice, no flavor, and barely anything else. They used rice to make the bowl look full
I had to self serve myself and ask for napkins and to go boxes.
Overpriced and the service was slow.
Not going back again

The pork rib soup has a very stale taste, but the stone pot mixed rice and seafood cake are still good

We were told us we needed to leave unless we ordered two full main dishes, even though my partner ordered a small dish and I ordered a main dish. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all which made me feel unwelcome and like I was getting kicked out for no reason. I understand this might be a rule to prevent greedy people from exploiting the side dishes, but it could have been communicated more politely (the servers were moody). I changed my order to go and discovered at home that the tofu soup was bland and the kimchi was way too sweet. The portions of side dishes was also very frugal. Disappointing!

I had an easy meal of soft tofu stew.
Stir-fried squid is also good.

This was my second visit to this eatery. The first time, I went with my classmates, and it seemed like a lovely spot. They had nice side dishes, and the food was okay. However, today I went again with my brother, and we noticed some issues.
The menu states that side dishes are served per order, but they only brought one portion of side dishes for both of us to share. I can manage without a few extra potatoes or fish cakes, but what really stood out was the attitude of the servers. Unfortunately, their demeanor made me reconsider whether I would return to this eatery.
Also i ordered ramen today- was way below average!

Crowded. Ate here with my pregnant wife and she was forced to vacate the table while waiting for me to use the restroom. Servicing couldn’t wait 5 min for me to return, collect my things and pay. Will not be back

The prices are a tad expensive here, but it comes with a lot of side dishes (purple rice, Korean pancake, fish tofu, sweet potato, tasty kimchi) and the food is really good. The side dishes can also be requested to be refilled. I also think this spot is more homie and has better food than at Korean Tofu House Express, but it gets crowded quickly. The chopsticks are flat so I found them pretty hard to use.

Order take out all the time from here and never changed my order (sides), the one time I did ask for more sides they simply sent none. I'm not sure if they don't like people asking for extra or not but being the main part of the meal other than the entree is lackluster for us on our 65$ takeout.
EDIT: We love this place, but not following simple directions is a red flag. Food is good but service being so bad i don't think I'll return. We again ordered takeout, willing to pay more for extra side dishes, and our request was ignored. Won't be returning. Ho Soon Yi in Edmond is better.
