★★★★☆ 4.0 Bill Yu · Jan 2026

Excellent bibimbap, probably the best bibimbap I’ve eaten. And like all the times I’ve eaten bibimbap, I feel good afterwards as it feels like I’ve eaten something healthy and balanced.

This spot has been on my list for a long time and I finally checked it out last night with a friend of mine. The food was excellent, service was friendly and helpful, and the vibe was very chill and relaxed. We started by sharing the bulgogi tacos and it was a superb start. The meat quality was very high, and the bulgogi flavor was spot on, but it was their Korean mayo that set this dish off. Creamy and with just the right amount of heat, it blended so well with the tender steak. Yum. For my main, I had the spicy pork bibimbap and it was perfect. Similar to the bulgogi, the meat quality was excellent, tender and succulent and the spice was just right. All the trimmings were excellent as well. The main dish was their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and it was stellar. Just very well battered,

At the very beginning I was going to recommend this restaurant and rate 5 stars, until I requested more Kimchi without being noticed I will be charged extra 4 dollars. I kinda dissatisfied with this service here. And the spicy pork ssam we ordered was cut into pieces too small. I’ll prefer the pork is in a bigger slice. The taste overall is okay. My favorite is the rabokki(rice cake bowl), we added cheese which enriched the texture.

Awesome place! Korean army stew was great, 20$ and enough for 2 people. We even took the leftovers home. The staff were also very nice!
