We really enjoyed our meal here. The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy and flavorful, and paired beautifully with the cabbage salad and pickled radish, which helped balance out the richness. The cabbage salad was dressed with a yuzu honey sauce, which was surprisingly refreshing and delicious.
The bibimbap was clearly made with care — all the toppings looked fresh and neatly prepared. The spicy sauce served in the hot stone bowl was quite special: not overly sweet like at many other Korean restaurants, which I really appreciated.
I also loved their appetizers, especially the fried mini rice cakes. They had a great texture, and the sweet-and-spicy sauce made them absolutely addictive.
As we were leaving, the owners even gave us some small coffee cookies, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can really feel the warmth of this family-run restaurant — everything feels clean, carefully prepared, and made with heart.
Although the wait time was slightly longer, it was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

I visited this Korean restaurant and tried tteokbokki, jjamppong, and bulgogi rice bowl. All of them tasted good and reminded me of real Korean food.
The tteokbokki was a little spicy but also sweet, and the rice cakes were soft and chewy. The jjamppong was my favorite. The soup was very tasty and full of seafood and vegetables (+pork.) I enjoyed it so much that I finished everything. The bulgogi rice bowl also tasted nice, and the vegetables and rice were fresh and well-mixed.
The people there were kind, and the place felt clean and comfortable. I think it’s a awesome place to have Korean dishes in Kitchener, and I want to come back again especially for the jjamppong.

A warm and super satisfying Korean restaurant. All dishes are made by the Korean owner, so the flavors are genuinely authentic. Great quality, big portions, and reasonable prices. The owner is also very friendly. If you love real Korean-style food, this place is highly recommended.”

Our server was pretty good explaining everything since it was our first time. We all ordered drinks and he forgot to bring one and it took a while and we had to remind him but in general it was good service
Really enjoyed the pork skirt with all the sides and the purple rice which is $3. We got a complimentary soup bowl to be shared among 4 people and it was really tasty. Make a reservation. It was crazy busy. (Went on saturday
