Great atmosphere and very friendly service. It’s nice seeing a restaurant finally land a place in this location as it’s been vacant for a while. The food was very tasty, but all tasted a bit the same. Spice level is higher than surrounding similar foods. Would love to return.

The food here is incredibly flavorful. If you’re anything like me, don’t dress up, because you’re likely to spill it on yourself you’re shoveling it down so fast. Seafood noodle soup was to die for, as was the pork spare rib stone bowl.

The best place for Korean food in town. Large parking lot, plenty of bus routes to here, and the food is incredible. The thing I love most is the complimentary tea! Most places in town don’t have that. The place is very busy but that’s only because they’re so popular! All the staff are so kind and friendly, we’ll definitely be coming back. So so so delicious.

Absurdly good. It’s a BF/GF duo running the place and they are kicking butt and taking names! It was busy and they are understaffed yet they handled everyone with attention and care. The food did not taste rushed or neglected in any way. I’m sooooo pleased with our choice of date night restaurant and can’t wait to come back.

Amazing food! Appetizers (we got rice cakes in addition to the complimentary side dishes) were great, complimentary barley tea, and seafood stew was delicious. Staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. Will be coming back!

Posted a review earlier about how we received poor service and the manager was very rude to us. In her reply she accused us of lying about details and called us fake for apologizing.
