A Korean restaurant located in Fullerton near Brea. It’s tucked away in a mall that’s not easy to find, so I’d passed by many times without noticing this place, but it turned out to be a hidden gem. Overall, the dishes had a stronger sweetness than saltiness, which I personally liked since I prefer sweet flavors. The side dishes were clean and well-prepared, and the staff were friendly. Although I don't understand that customers have to cover the card transaction fee, everything else about the restaurant was quite good.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Phenomenal experience. Staff was excellent, one even helped my partner who has nerve damage cut the meat off of the bone for his soup. The food was delicious. I got the spicy squid.

Food is DELICIOUS!! we had number 31, 32, Hama Chicken, and fried dumplings! All were BOMB! Our server Phillip was awesome and very attentive which made the experience even better. This was our first time and is our new favorite spot.
