I ordered the Bum Bap because it’s the easiest to do and every Korean Restuarant should have this basic food!

We arrived at 6pm with 3 kids and 4 adults. We ordered 5 items and an appetizer but they said we had to order one item per person, so we would have to add to the order. We had all had a substantial snack and weren’t that hungry; plus the kids just don’t eat much and we were all going to share the dishes. We left because the owner insisted we needed to order more. I have never experienced such rude behavior from a restaurant before. We instead enjoyed really good korean food 10 minutes away at Myung Dong Tofu Cabin.

I have not been here for about 7 years. There were (still are) not much of choices for Korean food in Peninsula. I just moved into the area. So I decided to give it a try. It was a huge disappointment. Food was hard to swallow. I would give it a one star at that time.

Very friendly service with simple and enjoyable dishes. Would have liked it even more if not for the banchan. They are standard little dishes. Wished they were more varied.
