Customer Reviews
The service and the food were equally amazing. I got #9 manduguk it was a big flavorful ramen bowl. And I also had #14 samgyubsal dupbap it was soooooo good the crunchiness to rice or noodles whatever it was, it was perfect and yummy. If you’re coming here I definitely recommend ordering it. The staff here is so friendly and always have a warm smile on their face.
On our way back from outlet shopping and driving toward D.C., we decided to stop for some Korean soup to warm up in the chilly Thanksgiving weekend weather. Ben welcomed us so kindly, and we had a really nice chat. As Mongolian guests, we enjoyed every part of the meal — the soup was the perfect choice. He even offered us free coffee knowing we had another four-hour drive home. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Thank you Ben.
So my girlfriend and I LOVE this place, some of the best Korean food I’ve ever had, the owner is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet who treats each customer like an old friend. The food was absolutely banging as usual but instead of wrapping up my girlfriend’s left overs at the end I decided to kill it all because it was just so damn good, would you believe that the owner gave us lollipops for finishing our food!?!?!?!? Now some may see this as degrading but we were absolutely thrilled and fell even more in love with this place than we already have. This restaurant is more than a place to eat, it is a small slice of heaven on earth.
The food was good, but the atmosphere was lacking. There was no music except for a loud, poor-quality Happy Birthday song. Service felt disorganized, with multiple staff members taking our order. Overall, the experience could have been better.
The food was pretty good I had chicken dupap the sweet potato noodles in the dish we're amazing. My wife Had the chicken ramen it was a large portion but definitely lacking flavor. The wings were definitely from a bag and mushy. The waiter was a little stand offish rushing us even tho no one was there. But I would definitely give it another try.
