New Korean restaurant here in Union City, CA. Flavorful huge portions of food. Nice interior with lots of seating. Parking is not a problem.
Went as a party of 3 and all of us enjoyed the experience on a Sunday evening. We had Ja Jang Myeon, Tteok Bok Ki and Popcorn Chicken.
Recommend this restaurant totally!

Must-get items:
Jjam Bong noodles: best Korean noodles I’ve ever had. It’s filled with delicious octopus, squid. My son who doesn’t like vegetables said even the mushrooms in the noodles were good.
MenBoSha deep fried shrimp toast: so crispy and delicious.
Kimbop with beef was very good too.
Tteok-bok-ki original was good as the texture was perfectly chewy.
We will be back to try other dishes.

I saw a Tiktok earlier this morning about this place and went as soon as it opened today during my lunch break. I’m so glad I did, I called to order and it was ready within 10 minutes of calling (I live nearby). It was very quiet inside as it had just opened for the day, the person I spoke to on the phone was kind, the person that helped me when I picked up the food was so friendly (not sure if it was the same person I spoke to on the phone). I’d absolutely come back for dinner to eat at the restaurant, it was very pleasant inside.

Had a great experience! As a vegetarian, I’m always a bit cautious when trying Korean restaurants, but this place pleasantly surprised me with several delicious options.
The vegetarian-friendly Bibimbap was flavorful and satisfying, packed with fresh vegetables and perfectly seasoned. I also tried the Japchae, and the sweet potato glass noodles were cooked just right — slightly chewy, lightly sweet, and full of vegetable flavor. I also enjoyed the crispy fried seaweed rolls, which made for a perfect appetizer.
What I really appreciated was how accommodating the staff was when I asked about the ingredients and vegetarian modifications.
Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for vegetarians who want to enjoy authentic Korean flavors without feeling limited in choices. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Ordered the Lion King sushi as an appetizer along with two soups to share . One soup size was larger than the other. The sushi was tasty, and the soups were great for sharing . It also came
With white rice and small portions of pickled veggies. My favorite was the pickled zucchini. I really enjoyed the cozy booth seating, plus the background music and concert videos playing in the background . A great touch. Service was attentive and there was plenty of parking.

Best Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. And I say this as someone who has lived in NY most of his life.
They’re apparently under new management. I can’t speak to what they were like beforehand, but I guarantee that their food is amazing right now.

Just tried this place tonight. I have go say; definitely one of the best Korean spots in the area. The garlic and soy chicken wings were enormous and delicious. The japchae was also very good. And although they do not have a bulgogi plate on the menu, they do offer sides of it that is very tasty. Big portions, great ambiance, and attentive service makes this restaurant a must try, and you will be wanting to go back for more!

Unique and tasty Korean dishes. Bibimbap and kimbap were good but nothing special. The tteok-bok-ki is where it’s at! Never had it served the way they make it. Wings were also great, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had the bulgogi jeongal which was amazing! A bit on the sweet side, but delicious nonetheless. My toddler also loves the fried seaweed rolls. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu and the manager, Winston, has been hospitable every time we’re there.

My buddy and I tried this Korean place after work on a week night and it wasn’t too busy. It’s a cozy little place that’s clean and accessible. The servers/hosts were really friendly and welcoming. There’s a mini karaoke section that opens at 5pm if you want to sing! 🙂
We ordered some sushi, Korean fried chicken and the pork bibimbbap, which Ilwas my favorite.
