Delicious authentic Korean food. Friendly attentive service. Family friendly clean atmosphere.
Finally stopped by to try this place and I’m so glad I did! I went with the Beef Bibimbap and an order of the 5-piece Sweet & Sour wings for togo. The Bibimbap was fantastic—generous portion, super fresh veggies, and the beef was seasoned perfectly. It really hit the spot. The wings were honestly the highlight for me, though. They stayed super crispy even with the sauce, and the sweet & sour flavor was addictive without being too heavy. Great vibes and solid food. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu!
Super delicious food! Very tasty and big portions! Love love the kimchi fried rice with chicken! The tofu soft soup was nice it just melted in my mouth. It is literally a block away from my hotel room along with many other shops. The cashier was super friendly and gave me almost all of my requests which is almost nothing really spicy and oddly the restaurant has a lot of spicy foods...he worked with me hello!!!! That’s what I like!
Tasty dishes and plentiful. Service quick and dishes were prepared nicely. Seating a little limited but over good spot.
Tried the tofu spicy kitchen fried rice and honestly, it was just too sour for me—so overpowering that I couldn’t really eat it on its own. I managed to eat some of it with egg, which balanced it a little, but overall the flavor was overwhelming. The food was okay otherwise, and I will say the service was good—friendly and fast. Not sure I’d go back for the same dish though.
My husband and I went here for lunch on a Saturday and had a great experience. It wasn’t too busy so we sat immediately. Our server was very attentive and sweet. Asking if we needed anything (more side dishes, water, etc) Big portions and all delicious. Highly recommend this place!
This place is absolutely delicious, I wonder sometimes if I’m going to get enough, not something I had to worry about here. And a variety of flavors all in one order delicious.
