This was our second time coming here and this time we love it even more than the first time . I got the spicy Sora soup and the beef Korean pancakes and it was delish. Just enough amount of spices. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Restaurant is usually busy and it is not big but it is really good .

Reason for visiting: sister-in-law's birthday dinner Date/time of visit: Saturday night, ~7:30 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, shared with other businesses. Free, no valet. Easy to find parking at night Party size: 5 Environment/ambience: small place, no TVs. Pretty loud as first but got quieter as night went on Service: they don't take reservations; we waited ~30-45 minutes. They have chairs outside for people waiting. Our hostess was very friendly, funny. Came around often. We brought a birthday cake 🎂 and they stored it for us; but I think they used the freezer instead of fridge so it was a little frozen when we ate it but all good. Shared some with the staff too 😀 Food: we had the seafood pancake, garlic Soy Chicken, Bulgogi Bibimbap, and Spicy Tofu stew. Everything was ok; maybe little more flavor and spicier. Cost: ~$400 for 5 people, including tip Would I go back (yes/no): 70/30

Overall, the food is delicious, but the Pork Rice Soup (Dwaeji-gukbap) was definitely the highlight. The interior has a unique, vintage Korean vibe that’s quite distinctive. Even though it gets crowded, the turnaround is fast and the staff provides good service.

Food was great! We were told 40 mins on the phone, 20 mins when we got there, and then called a minute later to get seated right away! Haha. We didn't mind it but were glad we continued to travel to this place :). We got the Spicy Tofu Stew with beef and egg, marinated dumplings, and bulgogi hot stone. The stew was delicious, smaller than anticipated and more of a single portion but we asked for an extra bowl and still shared it just fine. The dumplings were fantastic! Perfect amount of sauce and came hot and crispy which we loved. The bulgogi was a little dry until we mixed it all up like fried rice. My gf liked it as is but I wanted to moisten it a bit more so I asked for extra bulgogi sauce which was perfect. The banchan was delicious -- we got seconds on the kimchi and rice cakes! The service was great: when I put down the menu or as soon as I turned my head they were there! Price was appropriate, maybe just a little pricier than we would've liked but the taste made it worth it. I think I would just come here less often as a result compared to if it was a bit cheaper. Overall we loved it--was a nice way to warm up from colder weather. We'll be back! 🙂 --- Edit: came back and tried the spicy pork hot stone and the regular dumplings-- we liked these way better! Finally took some photos too 🙂

We decided to eat here in Saturday 2/7/26 around 6 PM because we saw the 5 star reviews. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated quickly. We ordered the bulgogi with rice in the stone hot pot and the dumplings as an appetizer. I had the fried egg on top of my rice. The dumplings and sides were very tasty. The bulgogi lacked flavor. We asked for sauce, the sauce helped a great deal. The taste of the food wasn't the main issue. After the meal, I started to have stomach pain, like gas. I had diarrhea throughout the night and then nausea which lead to violent vomiting two times. It feels like food poisoning 😩. I have not been feeling well all day. I don't know which of those dishes made me sick. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to the restaurant. Just a tip, please check on your guest throughout their dining experience to make sure they have everything they need. We understand that it was very busy but, we had 3-4 servers literally standing at the table next to us but they didn't bother to check on.

came here with a girlfriend of mine since it had been on our bookmarked list for a while. It’s nice to finally have some authentic Korean food in the area. She ordered the pancake, which was huge, and I made sure to grab a slice. I asked the staff for assistance and ended up getting one of their hot stones. I had looked at pictures ahead of time and chose the beef bulgogi. The waiter mentioned that one of their most popular dishes is the brisket hot stone. The portions are generous, so I recommend ordering a few different items to share, that way you can try multiple dishes.

This is the best soup! I wasn't expecting all the sides, they were a bonus 🥰 jinjjayo I would rate this 5+++ I don't live here in the valley so I am sad it's not close by. Definitely made my heart warm
