Disorganized. Poor communication. Not an isolated incident. The food is incredible and we typically rave about this place. We understand sometimes things fall through the cracks but while waiting an extra 30+ mins for our take out order to be made, I witnessed 6+ people at different tables have to remind staff of missing food, take out boxes, etc. it really ruins any & all greatness this place has. If you order, make sure you’re in no rush and call to confirm it’s even going to be made. Though be warned, you may not get anyone on the other line.

The food was excellent. There is no question about that. All of our dishes were flavorful and delicious. Especially for vegetarians, it’s hard to find good Korean food. This place did a very good job. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because the service was very slow and the prices a little high. However, very good eating experience. Would definitely recommend.

I came here on a Friday night with my family and had a terrible experience. They are clearly understaffed and the staff working there don’t seem to have any sense of urgency or basic customer service. 40 minutes after placing our order, no food came out, not even appetizers or banchan (side dishes). After asking them how much longer it would take, they just told us we need to wait. The manager was rude to us and the whole experience ruined our family meal. Will never be coming back.

Ttowa Korean Bistro truly knows how to make their guests feel like royalty. The impeccable service and attention to detail were second to none. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with utmost care and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made us feel welcomed and valued. Their friendly demeanor and genuine smiles created a warm and inviting ambiance that enhanced our overall dining experience.

So delicious! The recent renovation has completely changed the vibe of this restaurant and it feels so much more clean; the space isn’t cramped or dark like before. I can’t say enough about the food; it’s so yummy. Definitely a 5 star experience and we’ll be back!

This place was surprisingly good. Service was solid. Some food items were great including the duk bokki, the fire chicken, meat bun, and the ban Chan. The kimchi pa jun wasn’t great. Overall solid experience. We were also able to eat outdoors!

This is a nice little korean bistro. The menu was limited, but the options were good. Food quality was good, and the flavors were delicious. The service was attentive, but not in your face. Decor and atmosphere could use some attention, it felt like walking into any standard diner. As of 4/1/23, their liquor license was expired. They allowed byob, but we didn’t know that until we sat down. There’s potential here, especially with their food, but they need to improve the experience.

We just moved to the area and this place quickly made it to the top of our list! The food is absolutely amazing. So far we’ve tried the Dak Bun and Ramdan and would recommend those dishes to anyone! Definitely a staple for authentic Korean cuisine.

Good selection of Korean foods. We had a group outing and bibimbap, bulgogi, pork buns were shot really good. Pork bun bread was so soft and delicious. They bring a lot of small plates to share as appetizers which is not extra. Food definitely tasted good. Wait time was long. After offering it took more than an hour before everyone got their food. Server was very nice and friendly.
