Reviews
It seemed like the owners, a husband and wife, were the only ones working (I couldn’t see the kitchen). The owner’s wife took orders and served in the dining area. I arrived around 10:40 AM, a bit early for lunch, but there were already two tables with customers, and more people started coming in shortly after.
I ordered four dishes, including Korean and teriyaki options. Typically, teriyaki places don’t serve Korean side dishes (banchan), but since I ordered Korean food, they brought out banchan. The owner’s wife apologized for the limited variety of side dishes and generously brought out extra.
As I tasted the side dishes, they had a comforting, homemade quality, like a warm meal prepared at home. The flavors were neither too salty nor too bland, with a clean taste that didn’t rely on artificial seasonings. The dishes—spicy pork bulgogi, seafood soft tofu stew, stone pot bibimbap, and Mongolian beef—reminded me of my mom’s cooking, which I loved. While the food didn’t have the commercialized taste of popular chain restaurants, it felt like it was made with care and attention, just like a meal prepared at home.
This restaurant pleasantly exceeded my expectations.
– Service: Following the typical teriyaki joint setup, you place and pay for your order at the counter before taking a seat. The staff then brings your meal to your table. A nice touch is the complimentary bottled water that accompanies your meal.
– Price: Considering the generous portions and delightful taste, the pricing is quite reasonable. While I haven’t compared it to other eateries in the vicinity, the value for money here stands out.
– Food: The dishes shine with a home-cooked quality, free from overpowering artificial flavors. Each bite feels wholesome, capturing the essence of genuine, heartfelt cooking.
– Ambiance: The setting is straightforward and functional, characteristic of fast-food-style teriyaki spots. It’s not fancy, but it serves its purpose well.
– Parking: There’s ample parking available, though spaces can fill up quickly. Nevertheless, finding a spot wasn’t an issue, and it’s free of charge.
In summary, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors and efficient service, making it a noteworthy spot for anyone craving quality teriyaki and more.
The k-12 combo is spicy pork bulgogi with soft tofu soup with traditional Korean side dishes with a bowl of rice. Amazing taste and value, always comes out very hot.
The spicy chicken teriyaki can come with a katsu combo and is super filling.
Would recommend this for anyone looking for a filling and hearty meal around lunch time!
Second visit: sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and salad. Tastes good. They let me work on my laptop here while I eat. Good price.
Mongolian beef was not good:
Too sweet
Dry red chili’s mixed in, but not hot at all.
I don’t know what cut they use, but beef was spongy, fatty, maybe boiled…. just not edible, at least to me.
Nice people.
I might try this place again, but will avoid beef
My new go to for lunch.
