★★★★★ 5.0 Javier Aros · Dec 2025

I’ve been coming here for years and I’m mad I never made a review. The Service, the food, the atmosphere and the respect, everything comes into place here and that is why I’ve been returning here after all these years, even after I moved out to the Bay Area. I can go on and on but I will say I will forever support this mom and pop shop because I’ve gotten better food quality and service here than I do in Most Bay Area restaurants.

Delicious! First time eating here and it did not disappoint. We ordered the cucumber salad, potato pancake, chicken udon, and bulgolgi and it was the perfect amount for 2, dine in. My husband ordered a large beer and hot sake too. We did not leave any leftovers, it was that good. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere was calm. Will absolutely eat here again, or pick up a cucumber salad to go if I’m over on that side of town next time. Highly recommend!

This is one of those hidden gems, hole in the wall small mom and pop type restaurant. The food is delicious! Service is friendly and my kids love it there. Im a spicy soup kind of person and Spicy Ramen is so good! Veggie pancake is the best ive had compared to all Korean BBQ places. The BBQ is outstanding!ove this place. I wish it were closer to my home town, but worth the drive.

I have tried every Korean place within Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Tracy. They all have their pros and cons . However from the moment I sat until I finished my meal I felt like I was transported. The flavors are so harmonizing, the portions are perfect. The soup was served hot and the galbi literally melted off the bone. It was so tender which I rarely encounter when trying galbi as it’s a chewier meat. I think this is a must try for anyone even passing through Livermore. The environment was a moment of peace in a chaotic world.
