We took our son here for his birthday and really enjoyed it. The food was flavorful and felt very authentic- especially the Bulgogi and Spicey Seafood. The Banchan selection was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is simple, but the quality of the food makes it worth the visit. We'll definitely be back.

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.

The food here is good! The Seafood pancake was very good and generously sized. The short ribs were very very chewy. Kimchi stew was so flavorful and tasty. The meat in the Yukgaejang was dry and chewy, broth was good though. The banchan was a little disappointing and they're a bit stingy with it, when asked for more they said no more. Service was a let down as well as it was hard to get any servers attention. Place is very small and tight when the people behind me were leaving their table they bumped into more than once and same for my friend who sitting across from me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth the stop every time we’re near Tacoma! Comfort food, fast service, and delicious side dishes. 🥘✨ Our go-to Korean spot near Tacoma — amazing food, quick service, and great every time! 💛🥢 My husband and I discovered Ho Soon Yi Restaurant a few years ago, and now every time we’re anywhere near Tacoma, we have to stop here — or order takeout if we can’t dine in. It’s truly one of our favorite places to eat! The food is absolutely delicious — pure comfort food for both of us. Every bite is full of flavor, and the side dishes are incredible. The service is super fast and friendly, and you can tell everything is made with care and authenticity. If you love Korean food (or want to fall in love with it), this is a must-try spot! Consistently great food, quick service, and warm hospitality — it’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back again and again. 💛🥘✨
