Reviews
I only did not want to give a good decent rating only because I believe it’s all about customer service, taste of the food and cleanliness when it comes to restaurants. We had made an order for the group and had asked if the meal came with rice, she said yes. She did not mention to us that it was the purple rice. When I was taking a picture of the menu, the lady had grabbed it with force instead of waiting for me to hand it to her. Some of the utensils were dirty and the plate too. It had like a hard residue. At first I thought it was water stains but as soon as I touched it to confirm, it was like a hard residue of something. We did not bother to say something because we were already uncomfortable from saying something before the food was even served. Overall, the price is a little high for me for the amount of food that we had. It’s good to eat in here if you don’t have a big appetite and you just want a little portion but if it’s a bigger group and you want to enjoy, I definitely do not recommend since it is not a buffet style (not unlimited) for the meats or the sides.
This is my first time coming to this location. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The food and the service is ok.
The food here to grill yourself is expensive, minimum order to grill is 2 items and each item is over $29 per, not worth to come here and grill on your own. The food does taste good but pricey. If your hungry and don’t want to wait, come check this place out.
What to expect here:
Enough parking spaces
No wait time
Here is a list of foods I ordered and my bill was over $70
A great place to grab authentic Korean food! We go about once a month honestly, the KBBQ and spicy army stew are standouts and we always leave feeling satisfied! Every meal comes with the sides (banchan) which is critical.
Really good first impression for this restaurant. Almost seat yourself and then menu and water came out quickly. Ordering was simple, they have numbers by every item to allow quick and simple order. One thing that I missed and wasn't followed up on by server was if I wanted something to drink other than water.
Food was excellent and full of flavor. Heat level was good for what I ordered. Beef bulgogi was surprisingly sweeter than I expected. Spoon and chopsticks provided to eat, metal sticks I found slick and somewhat difficult to operate but my companion handled them fine.
Overall definitely will be back and definitely recommend.
Not a fan. Everything was ultra salty. I even ordered a soju to rinse and wash it down. Ladies didn’t seem too please when I asked for more banchan because the food was just extremely salty and needed the bland to balance out. Will not be coming back. Not worth it unless you like ur food with extra salt bae on top 🤷🏻♀️ (coming from someone who’s been to Korea and multiple states and city 😅) I’ve had much better, take your business elsewhere 👀
My favorite traditional Korean restaurant! Great food and great atmosphere. They always give you a lot of food which is awesome. Some portions are quite big so I recommend sharing like the Kimchi Pajeon. Also recommend going right when they open for lunch at around 11-12. Not many people and they are usually quicker to get your order out.
Overall the food is pretty good, but I recommend sticking to the tofu soups. The prices are high across the board, but the food is meh for many options other than the tofu soup. I prefer the mixed seafood tofu soup and have gotten it many times. I will say that the maximum spicy level is not super spicy if you have a good spice tolerance.
Stopped in here for lunch with a friend on a weekend and we were seated immediately. We chose the Original Combo lunch (serves two) and split it. It came with three meats and all of the sides. Plus it also came with a tofu soup and two drinks. We managed to eat it all and we were pleasantly full! My favorite part about this place is that they came and kept track of cooking the meat for us. Yes, we had the Liberty to add more meat if we wanted or turn it ourselves but the lady who was sort of monitoring the dining room made her rounds pretty frequently and would come and turn our meat or place our meat. I appreciate it that she did the hard work and we just got to sit back and enjoy lunch. I would definitely return here. It was a great meal at a great price!
