There is so little beef in bibimbop you will feel dizzy after eating because you are lacking protein. They raised bulgogi price from$15 to like $23 . That is crazy . Too high price compared to so little amount of food

Kimchi and the bonchon were great! Spicy went expected, fresh or fermented as in traditional kitchens. Loved the dol sot bibim bap. The Mandu (dumplings could have been fried just a little longer. But overall delicious and authentic.

As I began to eat, my initial impression was that I would be rating this place three stars. This place is by no means bad, nor is that to say that the food is not good, it is just that I have been to other Korean restaurants in the area that really wow me. Here, the food is what you would expect it to be. Simple, familiar, filling and even nostalgic. It’s like eating a home made meal. Obviously I have rated this restaurant four stars, so why the change of heart you may ask? That’s because there was one dish that was phenomenal! As soon as I took a bite, I was hooked. My mouth was filled with a surprising amount of flavors that was accompanied by the perfect texture. The dish that blew me away was the tofu. Interestingly enough, tofu was not my main dish. Rather, it is one of the side dishes that you normally receive at a Korean restaurant. The tofu alone was amazing enough for me to give this place four stars instead of three. I would sincerely go back to this place just to eat that marvelously cooked tofu. It is a must try in my opinion.

First time probably the last. Korean pancake was not cooked all the way and very little flavor. My wife had spicy octopus a little rubbery and I had spicy pork without lettuce which I really enjoy with pork. Came recommended by a friend. ..?????

Best Korean food I’ve ever had! We drive out from the city just to eat here. They give you a bunch of side dishes with your meal too. Try them all! I’ve tried so many delicious, strange things here.
