★★★★★ 5.0 Ariana Flores · Feb 2026

I don’t usually leave reviews unless I’ve been somewhere more than once, and this place deserves it. My usual Korean spot was closed one day, so I ended up here by chance and loved it. Forgot the name until my best friend invited me out for Korean, and turns out it was the same place. Even better the second ,third, fourth time and many more to come. It’s a bit far for me, but totally worth the drive. Cozy spot, great staff, amazing side dishes, and the food is always hot and delicious. Highly recommend!

Loooove that they have many side dishes! Delish! My friends loved their seafood stew! Everything was delish!!!! This is the second time we’ve been here and both times it has been really good! Customer service is fantastic as well! Totally recommend!

We ended up finding this place after playing The Penny Family Date Night game and we left feeling so satisfied with our food. We ordered the Mandu as an appetizer and loved the crispy texture and the filling was savory, the sauce provided was flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. My son ordered the non-spicy Ramen with egg he enjoyed the texture of the noodles and the rich broth and wouldn't stop raving about the peanut side dish. My daughter had the Green Onion Seafood pancacke and loved it paired with the broccoli side they provided. I had the Bibimbap with the egg on the side, the freshness of the dish was very well received, I'd have enjoyed a little more beef in it. We ordered a Tteokbokki to go, but tasted it and it's rich, packed with fish cakes and rice cakes the broth

Always hits the spot when I come here. Amazing food with great flavor! Good portions and chapjae sides also pairs well with main dishes!

First time trying this place. Had the tteokbokki was good but fish had very little rice cake compared to all other player have tried. Daughter had the Ramen she ate it all. Jjamppong had plenty of seafood in it and the noodles were good, broth had that seafood flavor in it. Dolsot bibimbap was good with the sauce they offer. They offer plenty of sides with meal. Would recommend to go try and would go back to try other items.
