Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with the most authentic Korean food! Great ownership and wonderful team. Highly recommend! (My favorite spicy Korean beef soup. Yuk kay Jang). Chicken bulgogi delicious!

This place was great! I ordered the dolsot bibimbap and the tteokguk and both came out exactly how I wanted and tasty.
This place really gives back what you put in, I walked in excited to try it and all the staff reciprocally seemed excited to have me. They were very kind, quick, and attentive. I was also able to ask about the dishes and they were able to explain to me in a helpful way so that I could learn more about Korean food! Can’t wait to come back.

They saved my Christmas last minute after Doordash messed my order up and we were left without food for dinner. Their seafood pancake is one of the best I’ve had, spicy galbi-jim was flavorful and yukejang was perfect. I will be ordering from here all the time now. Thanks again!

I used to love the food here, but lately the quality and overall experience have been declining. We came in relatively late and asked if they could take my friend and me, and we were told yes. However, as soon as we sat down, an older male staff member appeared visibly annoyed, roughly handed us the menu, and stood watching us as we looked it over.
Since we’ve been here many times, we already knew what we wanted and ordered quickly. After placing the order, he nearly snatched the menu out of my hands.
My friend and I truly loved the older lady who used to work here—we adored her and came regularly because of how welcoming she was. This visit was very disappointing. We would have completely understood if they had simply told us they couldn’t take us, but instead we were made to feel unwelcome.

Best Korean restaurant. I’ve frequented many Korean restaurants, and this one is my favorite by far. Amazing food, and impeccable service. The food is always fresh, and hot. Just how I like it. You also get plenty of little side dishes with your order. Another great thing is you never feel rushed when eating here. Great food, friendly service, and nice ambiance. I would highly recommend.

Update:
I hate giving bad reviews. But that’s just not serious! I ordered a soup for to go. One soup – kimchi, tofu, pork and shrimp. It actually had ONE shrimp with all its precious excrements, 2-3 tiny slices of pork, no kimchi and looots of tofu. Also, as a present, I guess, they left a few pieces of egg shells. I found them piece after piece while eating the ‘delicious’ soup. And the biggest surprise was that piece of plastic (or may be shrimp shell?!) in the soup. Pictures attached. There was literally only one table with 2 costumers inside when I ordered my SOUP. Ecxuse my ignorance, but how do you expect more costumers if you don’t pay attention when preparing your food? You can read my review below of when you opened your restaurant, I was one of the first that reviewed your restaurant with 5 stars. I’m sorry, that’s not acceptable at all.
It’s a brand new Korean restaurant in our area and we really liked it. Plenty of parking spaces. The atmosphere is nice, the waitress was very friendly, the food was so delicious! My family loves Korean food, we’ve been in a few other restaurants. We’ll visit again for sure! Thank you, we wish you luck!

Great food and friendly services. Really good stir fry spicy pork belly and Kimchi jjigae (spicy Kimchi soup). They offered a lot of Korean beer and Korean rice wine, which is perfect for dinner. Restaurant located in the strip mall and free parking on front

Attention!!! I’m speechless today!!! Oh my goodness. We swung by there around 4 pm ish with our friends along with babies. The place was the ghost town when we were there. We ordered our meal shortly after it arrived, while we were feasting our meals, our baby boy who is 17 months old making noises with utensils/ come on he is just a baby/ owner was standing and observing behind us and she insisted my baby boy to stop making noises!!!! and yelled at him!!! We were in shock!!! She yelled at my wife to discipline our baby!!!!! I’ve been to many restaurants including Korean places, I’ve never seen this kind of restaurant!!!!!!! They lack of poor customer service!!!! No wonder they are being ghost town during lunch hours!!!! Customers who were there observing us left immediately. We had no intention to pay our meals but we had to pay!!!!
Don’t, never go to this place!!!!!! Waist of money and time!!!!

I went there today to get Galbi tang because they had good reviews but my gosh that was a big mistake!! As soon as I walked in it was very dark inside and no heat super cold on rainy cold day !!! We sat down and ordered Galbi tang which was so sad . I upload the comparison pictures Galbi tang from joong boo market and from here. First of all they only bit 3 small meat without the bone ! Only 3 piece of small meat and they don’t even bother too add clear noodles in the broth!! Also the broth was not hot enough and super watery nothing like hearty rich flavor! It’s not worth paying $18.99 dollar for that! I let the old lady know right away why only 2-3 piece of meat ??? Her response was Joong boo is a marker we are different we buy expensive meat and paying so much for it ???? Like what doesn’t even make sense!!! It was so uncomfortable sitting in a cold dark restaurant and food was rubbish !! Those old ladies are super shameless asking about more tips from the next table older couples and they asked are gonna tip??? From my boyfriend!!! He was so mad he left 20%tip with extra cash! Like so embarrassing and made everyone in the restaurant feeling awkward!! Even the old couples left angry!! You don’t ask more tips when you serve bad food with almost no meat !!!
