I ordered the curry tonkatsu and the curry tasted bad (it was bland yet had a strange after taste, doesn't taste like regular curry) the tonkatsu was mid too. I don't recommend getting it.

Had the military soup and it was soooo good on a chilly day. The portion size is generous and the white kimchi is nice and crunchy. The owners are so nice. I will be coming back to try the oxtail soup!

A great little Korean restaurant with amazing service and yummy food.

I had come here after looking for a spot to get some work done. After calling, the owners were very kind to let me know that they had WiFi available for paying customers. As this was surprisingly rare for other restaurants I called in for, I got myself some kimchi stew and set myself up at the table.

There is lots of seating available and you order at a self-serve kiosk near the entrance. The entrance is very accessible and they can host a variety of party sizes. Just make sure you let them know ahead of time if you are going to have a large group!

The stew had just the right flavors and came with kimichi and rice. For the price, I was very happy since I’d been eating lots of overpriced food since I landed here for my trip. They were quick with the meal prep, offered plenty of food for one, and offered wonderful customer service. They also have a bathroom that is accessible for paying customers! Couldn’t think of any place better to get some home cooked Korean dishes.

Came here for lunch and the kimchi bulgogi fried rice and dolsot bibimbap. Both were delicious (kimchi fried rice especially). We ate at the Korea Tofu House the night before (dolsot bibimbap, suhlung tang, ddukbokki with cheese) and I have to say, the food was clearly better here. It can’t equal LA Korean food but it is still a solid offering. Food came out quick and service was kind. Btw, I am Korean American and ate her with my teen daughter. We both enjoyed it.

It's like a combination of leftovers and cold dishes. The rice is also cold. After eating it, I feel extremely wronged.

Paid $20 for teokbokki with egg/dumplings. The guy had no fish cakes and told me he added extra rice cakes to substitute. They were literally French fries.

Probably didn't think I would notice because I'm a straight white male.

The food was tasty though and rice cakes were cooked well. I have to admit.

I get it: rent, wages, ingredients. And maybe since I just got back from whistler BC I have rose colored goggles bc prices there (a premier world ski resort town) are cheaper than Seattle (without even accounting for currency differences!).

But if your spicy pork bimbop bowl has barely two tablespoons of meat and not many more veggies for $22 (with tip, egg, and transaction fee for using a self order tablet ha) something is very, very wrong. And yeah the food was just ok. Probably a small step above H-Mart or the like but not much.

No wonder everyone I know is eating in more and hoping something in Seattle shifts (food cart pods, better rent control laws, more small biz breaks?). This just can’t continue.

And I feel sorry the UW kids. I never would have survived college on these prices, not to mention *I’m* walking away hungry. I could have eaten three of these portions as an undergrad.

I feel like the place is getting worse. I delivered this spicy beef soup. They gave a small amount of rice with no side dish. Also the soup barely has no vegetables. It was good few months ago but somehow their quality is getting worse and worse.
