We had a I wonderful date night at The Koop yesterday night. The vibe was comfortable and fun. You get to snag a menu and grab a seat for dine in. Which is nice since we could take our time making a decision on what we wanted to try first. The staff was helpful and friendly. He made great recommendations to us. While waiting for our food we enjoyed the cute, hilarious and rowdy doodles on the wall. Fun to spot funny signatures and add ourselves to the collection <3
Everything we got was our favorite! Since we are in from out of town, we ordered for leftovers 😀 We had a potato, chz and spicy mayo k-dog (obviously my husband’s favorite, just look at his face haha). A Ramen, hot dog, spicy mayo kdog. Bulgogi (add egg) with pickled radish, kimichi and green radish. Chicken with side of sweet spicy sauce & soy garlic sauce.
It was all amazing. Yes, they charge for extra sides of sauce, radish. It is worth it, it takes time, effort, love and you can taste it. I wouldn’t expect that for free (in response to a unfair one star review-in my opinion- I read before going) It is SO worth it <3
Music was great and the tv was playing kpop music videos, which are super fun to enjoy. The drawing on the walls were super entertaining too haha
I highly recommend trying them out. It was excellent!

The food is really authentic, reminded me of my trip in Seoul last year! The broth & ingredient taste of sundubu-jjigae （tofu stew) is really similar to my experience in Seoul. Took a bit longer time to have the food tho. Staffs are friendly.

Really sad this time. I ordered wings, but what I got was chicken breast and body pieces—it looked like they mistakenly sent the whole chicken instead. I contacted the platform, but the platform said the restaurant insisted it was wings. I used to really like this place and have ordered many times before, but the way they handled this was very disappointing.

07/27 EDIT:
Yes, this is about the order with SC, via IMCOMING on the evening of the 26th—order number ending in 80001. I might have used the word “carcass” incorrectly (fixed above), but I’m pretty sure what I received wasn’t wings (attached). I’ve been a loyal customer and have placed dozens of orders from your shop before, so I can tell the difference. I also sent the image to the platform’s customer support, but they said your shop insisted this was wings. I’d be happy to update my review if you could take another look. Thanks!

Most of us were first-time visitors and were hosted by a local friend who recommended this place. When we were leaving, someone suddenly shouted “Hey!” several times to call us back and tell us to clean up. It felt abrupt and uncomfortable, especially since we weren’t aware of this expectation beforehand. There are many polite ways to get someone’s attention, but they chose the harshest one.
The Korean-style chicken was fine but the soup was not good. Not worth to go again!

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I’m not upset about the self-service policy itself — I understand that many cafeteria-style restaurants ask customers to clear their tables. The issue was the way it was communicated. Being yelled at repeatedly and loudly was not a good experience for us.
Being loudly yelled at, and especially being told “let me educate you,” is not respectful customer service in any setting. A simple, polite reminder would have been completely fine, and we would have appreciated clearer signage or a calm explanation.
We were part of a larger group hosted by a local friend who paid the bill and handled the tipping. If you look at my original review, you’ll see that none of us were complaining about cleaning up; we simply didn’t see any signage and were surprised by the tone directed at us.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

Let’s start with the fact that the staff is absolutely amazing! I felt welcomed from the second I stepped in. Second, the Korean dog was perfect – made fresh with melted cheese and delicious dough. I have been craving a Korean dog for a while and this is the place to get one! The Kimbap was nice, the restaurant itself is small but cute, and I enjoyed trying to read the writings on the wall:)

I came here a few days ago with my husband, and we’ve been here several times before. I love the food here—it’s always delicious and fresh, and the staff is super friendly. Even though I think the prices are a bit high, the quality makes it worth it. Haha. This is the best Korean restaurant in State College, in my opinion. All the dishes taste authentic, just like the food I had when I traveled to Seoul last year.

Everything about this place is awesome! The lady that served us at the counter was super friendly and even gave us some extra sides. The food was ready quickly and was hot. The food was high quality and the menu has tons of options, many Korean authentic meals/sides

Fried dumplings very yummy. Beef bimbimbap very yummy. FANCY CORNDOG MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH bussin. Potato exterior with 50/50 interior and ketchup+cheddar sauce, trust. The cheese pull is legendary.
Almost gave service a 4 bc im lazy and you do have to walk a few meters to order/get utensils but that would just be crazy honestly. More than adequate range of utensils available, solid disposable chopsticks, very nice staff when I was there.
Mostly just love the vibe of the place, customers can get a sharpie and contribute to the wall decor which can only be described as sprawling scrawls. Love the concept. Kpop music in the background, nice. Well-maintained bathrooms. Overall really no complaints.
