The food was excellent. Quick service, they gave us some delicious kimchi appetizers for starters. We enjoyed the vegetarian bibimbap!

A little hidden gem in Bethesda. I have been here twice now and both times the service was great. The server was very attentive and patient with all requests. The reason I took off a star is for price and both times I was there something from our order was forgotten but given the service and taste of food it was not a big deal. In my most recent visit I got the seafood pancake, beef bibimbop, and the beef soft tofu stew. The beef bibimbop was delicious and came with a good amount of beef surprisingly. The seafood pancake came out as 3 little pancakes and it was a bit more doughy in the middle than I would have preferred (reminds me of the texture of mashed potatoes) but it still tasted nice with the dipping sauce. The beef soft stew was not overly salty which was great and had a good amount of tofu in it. It was also just the right amount of spicy. The plate of small side dishes is always something to look forward to as well! Overall, I would 100% recommend and I will definitely be back. However, I would like to note that the two times I was there the food did take a little bit to come out.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Bethesda! The food is authentic and has a real home cooked meal feel. The atmosphere is endearing and the service is always personal and exceptional. Plus, they have lots of vegan options!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been here so it felt like the first time. I got there around 8p.m. on a Friday night and it was not too busy. I wanted to sit outside but they do not allow outdoor seating once it starts getting dark. That seemed a bit strange since it is a well lit area with fairy lights all over but it wasn’t a big deal so I just sat inside.

Amazing Korean food. We had the shrimp pancakes, grilled chicken, and bibimbap with crispy rice. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this place

I can never go back to Chinese takeout again. The Korean food was very authentic and delicious. I had gotten takeout from this place before and this was the first time I ate in. Takeout was really good, but eating it fresh was amazing. The place gets crowded during lunch, so if you have a large party like we did, I recommend getting there right before noon. We were able to snag the one large round table in the back. Some people in our group were new to Korean food, some did not like spicy, and some liked lots of heat. All of our preferences were accommodated. I recommend the seafood pancake, which was gobbled up so fast that I couldn’t get a picture, and the bibimbap with crunchy rice.

Ordered spicy stir fried calamari. The taste wasn’t bad but the texture was rubbery.

Great authentic Korean food. TV shows Korean shows, and the staff seems to speak Korean to each other. Seating is mainly in booths, with only one table for larger group. Unfortunately no longer open for lunch. .
