Traditional Korean dishes are on the menu at this locally–run eatery with a cozy, rustic ambiance.

Love it here! I’m never in Troy but I was today and this menu had my name on it. I easily found street parking within 1 block and was told to seat myself; hostess suggested the coziest spot. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I got the kimchi scallion pancake which was delicious but not too spicy. Also had the mandoo for $6?!?! So tasty and cheap. My lunch entree was the kimchi jjigae with pork belly and tofu. Cannot wait to return to have more of what I already ordered but also to try the other choices. Highly recommend!

Daughter brought us here…new food tastes for us. The proprietor was very patient as we figured out the menu. We shared kim chi, radish, bean sprouts and burdock root. Purple rice, Kimball rolls and scallion pancakes. We were told what was spicy…not bad for us as we like spice..the ddukbokki. Very good. Has some nice green tea to finish. Would definitely return to try other things. Looks like it has a bar at night

The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant had more of a cozy café vibe than a traditional Korean restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise.
We ordered tteokbokki and kimbap, and I was impressed by how authentic the flavors were. The food was clean, light, and well-balanced.
Overall, it’s a place I’d love to come back to.

Cute Korean food restaurant in Troy! There’s a little shop inside at the counter selling bowls, chopsticks, and Korean snacks. You place your food at the counter and your orders are brought to your table.
We both ordered the seafood tofu stews and the mandoo appetizer to share. For some reason our orders took a long time. Others who came in after us got their orders before us too!
The tofu stew was good but a bit disappointing in the lack of seafood in the dish. Seems like it was just dried seafood bits that were added to give the stew flavor. The Mandoo dumplings were fried and they came with a dumpling sauce. They were pretty good and we enjoyed those.

This is one of the great places in Troy, serving purple rice with their Korean dishes. Not a Korean BBQ, you would need to go to another place. They also have a presence at the Farmers Market but for the entire menu, you need to go to the restaurant. Restaurant does have a tiny bar and some parking, but it can get crowded.

Good Korean restaurant, overall, the food is average. But the atmosphere was very nice and cozy. I felt like the food was frozen and very bland in comparison to other Korean restaurants I had. But if you like a cozy family-style feel, definitely worth a visit!

The atmosphere was cute and the service was good. The food felt home cooked but elevated. Everything we had was delicious and well portioned;they did not skimp on the meat in my bulgogi bowl. I can’t wait to go again!

The atmosphere is good, and the seasoning is authentic. However, the food ingredients are wayyy inferior, making this place too overpriced. The $13 seafood pancake is a joke, 13 for this mini thin cake with canned seafood? Its cost is literally less than $1 Even in New York Manhattan this place would be considered overpriced given the food quality.

eh~ no real menu. And no real instructions/directions on what you’re suppose to do. We walked in and waited to be seated…or at least told what to do. Apparently you have to walk all the way in to the counter and order. Food was so so. No real service. Cold inside. Parking in Troy is terrible

This review rating is based on availability, not on authenticity. Great idea to offer some Korean grocery items while serving various Korean dishes. Service was great! Kind of a cute place. As for the food, the veggies with beef over rice and the tofu stew was very average, comparing to what we could get in NY and CA, but it is nice to at least be available here in Troy. Prices were a bit higher than expected. I also would like to suggest a lot less use of MSG!
