We really enjoyed the food (see pics), service, and availability on a weekend evening! Although the initial pricing seemed high, the portions were so generous that we have lunch for the next day. They took care of us from start to finish.

Really awesome food! It made me feel like I was back in South Korea. I knocked a star off because rice doesn’t automatically come with the food, which I feel is a must.

Such good service and food! I loved how approachable the hostess was, and the awesome treatment our waitress gave us. She even opened our first soju for us and poured our shots! I thought that was a nice touch for providing great customer service. I ordered the jajangmyeon (black bean noodles), and my friend ordered the spicy pork bulgogi. The serving sizes were huge and definitely worth the money! I wish I didn’t get so full because I would have ate more! Highly recommend

I got the gopchang soondubu. The texture of the rice was a little wet so it caused the rice grains to be squished together too much for my liking. The amount was expected, which is good. The soondubu broth was on the cleaner side, but it lacked depth. The texture of the soondubu was also firmer than I would’ve liked. The gopchang quality was good and there were enough considering the size of the bowl. I do want to note that there is egg in the soup and was half runny (perfect for me). Aside from that, the diced onion still had bit of crunch to it but wasn’t messing with the overall flavor. There are also diced zucchini (애호박) and sliced scallions that added to the diversity of the texture.

I’m rating this based on whole chicken soup with ginseng and herbs. I’ve tried other dishes. They are fine, but not a 5. Mostly 4. However, the ginseng chicken soup is the best. Hearty and comfort food. Extremely tasty.

The menu is huge so there is plenty to choose from. I would recommend the jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk! Japchae not so much to my liking. The side dishes and seafood pancake were nice!

Serious food safety issues that need to be addressed! When my girlfriend and I dined in the restaurant, she found a small piece of plastic in her soup. The manager was kind enough to waive our bill, and I took home the rest of the food that we didn’t finish, thinking there can’t be any other issue in the food. However, as you can see in the picture, I found an even bigger piece of plastic in my soup. Would NOT eat at this restaurant again.

Had a really lovely meal here last night for dinner! The food was delicious, portions were large, we were stuffed! Just wish my bulgogi had been spicier. Will ask next time! Oh and pancakes were amazing.

Always drove by, so finally decided to get take out and give it a try. The second I walked inside, something smelled really good. I’m not sure what dish it was but it smelled delicious. We ordered the Jjajang noodles, pork belly and spicy rice cakes. The noodles were delicious. Very flavorful, has vegetables and some meat mixed in it, best to mix it all in, give it a good stir while it’s hot. I definitely will be coming back and will try dining in next time.
