“I adore this restaurant and the people who run and operate this little gem. I can't speak to much of the Chinese food, that's not why I go there. I go there because I'm half Korean and I want KOREAN FOOD. And they make some of the best. The jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce) is the best I've ever had. Ever. It's thick, not runny and has all kinds of the right veg. I love ojingeo bokkeum (squid stir fry) and this is my favorite take on it anywhere. I'm not even sure what they do, but it's fantastic. The jjampong (seafood soup) is flavor and seafood-packed. Really, all the Korean dishes are delicious. This place is owned by an older Korean couple and I think their staff is mostly Hispanic. For those that think the staff is rude... those guys prep, cook, order, serve and clean. And English is none of their first languages. Yet, they deal with crappy customer attitudes too, and I've never seen them return it. I've gotten there shortly before close, when they are cleaning up, they do not hesitate to make your order. I've had miscommunication over the phone about an order, so instead I went in and ordered in person. It took 15 min for 4 entrees. That's it. So maybe they aren't being rude, maybe they didn't understand you or vice versa. As for tasteless, like I said, we don't order the Chinese food normally. But I can tell you their fried rice is KOREAN, not Chinese, therefore different and definitely not the same flavor. Or order the forbidden rice and freak out over the purple color! If you had a bad experience, please, stay away. Let the rest of us enjoy the hard-working, lovely people that turn out some of the best Korean food in the city. PS. My kid LOVES the sweet and sour chicken and japchae, for those looking for kid-friendly items.”
