★★★★★ 5.0 Jimmy T · Jan 2026

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with the most authentic Korean food! Great ownership and wonderful team. Highly recommend! (My favorite spicy Korean beef soup. Yuk kay Jang). Chicken bulgogi delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Dalton Applegate · Jan 2026

This place was great! I ordered the dolsot bibimbap and the tteokguk and both came out exactly how I wanted and tasty. This place really gives back what you put in, I walked in excited to try it and all the staff reciprocally seemed excited to have me. They were very kind, quick, and attentive. I was also able to ask about the dishes and they were able to explain to me in a helpful way so that I could learn more about Korean food! Can't wait to come back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mookie Lee · Dec 2025

They saved my Christmas last minute after Doordash messed my order up and we were left without food for dinner. Their seafood pancake is one of the best I’ve had, spicy galbi-jim was flavorful and yukejang was perfect. I will be ordering from here all the time now. Thanks again!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Урангоо Баярсайхан · Jan 2026

I used to love the food here, but lately the quality and overall experience have been declining. We came in relatively late and asked if they could take my friend and me, and we were told yes. However, as soon as we sat down, an older male staff member appeared visibly annoyed, roughly handed us the menu, and stood watching us as we looked it over. Since we’ve been here many times, we already knew what we wanted and ordered quickly. After placing the order, he nearly snatched the menu out of my hands. My friend and I truly loved the older lady who used to work here—we adored her and came regularly because of how welcoming she was. This visit was very disappointing. We would have completely understood if they had simply told us they couldn’t take us, but instead we were made to feel unwelco

Best Korean restaurant. I’ve frequented many Korean restaurants, and this one is my favorite by far. Amazing food, and impeccable service. The food is always fresh, and hot. Just how I like it. You also get plenty of little side dishes with your order. Another great thing is you never feel rushed when eating here. Great food, friendly service, and nice ambiance. I would highly recommend.
