I'm not comprehensively knowledgeable in Korean cuisine. Therefore, a review from me is not fair necessarily. I can say the quality is good. I enjoy the food as I do return. I'm open to learning more about this cuisine. I say go. ?? Also, it's really warm in there... layer and peel.Parking: Sometimes tight, but ok.

Good food with nice bonchon variety. Definitely a little pricey, but you pay for what you get!

We ordered a number of dishes family style and everything was super tasty. Favorites were the tteokbokki, seafood pancake, and Wang kalbi. Also really liked the house made ice teas.

Incredible place! A tiny hole in the wall in the most sketchy mall area and neighborhood I've ever been to, with the most delicious food. It's a small restaurant with a diverse authentic menu with food that's clearly best experienced dining in. While they do offer takeout, it's obvious that most of the dishes are to be enjoyed in person when served fresh and hot. I cannot recommend this place enough and can't wait to go back. PROS: - A delicious whiff of the most incredible smell hits you when you enter the restaurant. - No waits if you arrive in between rush. We arrived a little before dinner rush and did not wait to be seated. - the food came out instantly once ordered and was absolutely jaw-dropping delicious. The raw spicy crab did not disappoint, the food tasted authentic and was well portioned. - we didn't order the drinks but there was a wide array of it, I plan to try one next time. - the servers are attentive and when you press the button on the table someone immediately follows up - the side dishes are unlimited with your food and was incredibly tasty. CONS: - parking can be difficult during busy hours - sketchy strip mall with random shops - not inviting - the waiting area for pickups inside the restaurant was right in front of us diners which made it pretty awkward.

Came here for lunch with my two friends. The drinks were amazingly refreshing. The seafood pancake was also surprisingly delicious as it was crunchy and chewy at the same time. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was spacious. Wished they would close the door for the restrooms though. Parking was easy as there was a parking lot.

My friend and I went here on a whim when our usual Korean place was closed for the day and we've been back multiple times since! The banchan always make me happy and the bibimbap is delicious. I will be back again!

Food was ok. The soondubu was very salty (kept it vegetarian) and we were short a banchan. The kalbi was decently flavored according to our teen. Had to ask for water several times before getting it. The prices are reasonable.Vegetarian options: Any tofu soup dishes can be made vegetarian. Many tofu options.Parking: Shopping center lot.Kid-friendliness: Our kiddo enjoyed the kalbi and rice with the sweet potato banchan.

육개장 is sooo good. The veggies and the pulled beef are really well cooked so the broth is really good.Side dish is also good - kimchi, beansprouts, spinach.
