Customer Reviews
Loved my visit here! My party and I ordered the mandu (half steamed and half fried), dolsot bibimbap, and galbi. The mandu was so juicy and delicious! I recommend getting this! The bibimbap was perfectly seasoned. The galbi was slightly salty, but the rice & lettuce balanced it out. The banchan provided was impressively delightful. The portions are a good size, so definitely come hungry! I throughly enjoyed my meal here, and would definitely come back!
As a party of 3, we ordered two appetizers and two entrees, which was a little excessive. The poached pear salad is a unique favorite of ours. It’s a very refreshing appetizer with delicious pear and radish. The pa jeon (seafood pancakes) was too filling for us and contained mostly pancake and little seafood that we could barely taste the seafood in them, so I wouldn’t recommend this appetizer. The galbi was amazing and came with delicious zucchini, mushrooms, and eggplant. The portion was large even though the picture shows otherwise because the meat needs to be cut up when we received it. The ddukbokgi (rice cakes, mushrooms, bulgogi) was not impressive but not bad. If you enjoy rice cakes, it’s the dish for you. Overall, the dishes were either a hit or miss, so be careful of what you li
We had a great dinner, choosing a wide variety of dishes and beverages (see my photos). Really really good entries. The desert left a little bit to desire. Great staff as well. I will return.
Very mediocre food overall. The service was nice and the vibe was great, but the food didn’t live up to expectations. I don’t think it was very authentic Korean food. We ordered the seafood pancake, which was prepared in a way I’ve never seen before, plus, I did not see a seafood in my pancake. The mandu soup was not too bad though. Everything felt a bit overpriced for the taste.
Bibimbap with crispy rice and tender bulgogi, plus fresh banchan and perfectly seared dumplings. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely worth a visit.
