Excellent menu with really legit and authentic items. Across our crew of six we ordered a ton, and everything was fresh and well executed. Broths were really nice. Waitstaff very attentive and warm. Major kudos for the generous amount of meat they put in the soups! That really stood out as a unique aspect of each meal.

If you’re looking for a flashy fusion spot, keep driving. But if you want a meal that tastes like a grandmother’s kitchen in Seoul, this is the place. From the moment the banchan (side dishes) hit the table, you can tell nothing here is "adjusted" for a general palate—it is unapologetically, beautifully authentic. This is 10/10 comfort food for anyone who knows and loves Korean cuisine. It’s rare to find a spot that handles the "classics" like Bulgogi and the "specialties" like Snail Salad with equal expertise.

Their food is great! I had their 설렁탕 and it immediately reminded me of the time when I had 설렁탕 back in Korea. I’m not sure when but the owner did change in my knowledge and they do not serve kimbab anymore - which it doesn’t even matter to me. so just letting you know they don’t have Kim bab now… But!!! The food is great I had 물만두 and 돼지국밥 which was really hearty and delicious. Most importantly their side dishes are superior : especially their 깍두기. Thank you !! Cleared the bowl before taking the pictures :0 먹음직 스럽게 사진찍어야 한는 데 맛있어서 이렇게 찍혔네요 ㅠㅠ 🙏

The food was really authentic and amazing. The haemul pajeon was the perfect starter. The kimchi dolsot bibimbap and okingeo bokkeum were outstanding, and I loved the buddae chiggae. The gamjathang was okay, but overall everything else was excellent.

This is our favorite Korean restaurant in the area! The hot stone spicy pork and Korean chicken soup are our top picks. The pork cutlet is really good too, and my kids especially enjoy the bone broth soup. The square kimchi side dish is one of the best we’ve ever had. Always a great meal here!

Came here a few times just to try everything at least once. It was very daunting to see an empty restaurant especially when the food is great here! The first visit was great! Service was amazing compared to other korean restaurants. They were nice and attentive in refilling waters and banchan. The other visits were very much lacking in service and lack of variety in banchan sadly, still came in support! Seafood pancake was delightfully crispy on the outside and paired nicely with the kimchi. Mandu was also crispy and didn’t need any sauce since it was already flavorful by itself. Yukgaejang came out piping hot in their stone bowl. Great beef flavor, not as oily as others that I’ve had and loved that they added glass noodles. Bibimbap with pork was nicely cooked, perfect combination of sweet and savory. Kimchi jjigae tastes very different from what I usually like. It was a very strong tomato bisque flavor that cut through the subtle taste of kimchi. Not something, I would get again. After a few minutes, I had to ask for the rice on the side because they forgot. Ask for cold noodles, they do not have it listed on the menu, but some places do offer seasonal items which you only need to ask. Unfortunately my experience ordering it was offputting as it came with a hair on my egg. I lost my appetite after they replaced it. It came with 2 slices of beef and a nice crisp slice of an apple. Noodles were perfectly chewy and loved that they gave vinegar and mustard to add some variety to the flavor. Took a few bites then took the rest home.

Truly, some of the best Korean food in the greater Philadelphia area. We came here on a Sunday afternoon. It was not crowded at all. We were given warm barley tea when we arrived. The banchan was incredible, this place has the best kimchi I’ve had in Philly. We got the kimchi jeon, sogogi gukbap, bulgogi kimbap, and bossam. Everything was incredible quality, so fresh, even the samjang was homemade. The service was quick. The servers were kind and thoughtful. I had such a great experience here and I would recommend it to anyone!!
