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.

Excerpts

We ordered Dduk Bokki, Kalbi, Kimchi Chigae, and spicy pork. The Dduk Bokki was really sweet and spicy, and not the saucy type. The Kalbi was tender, but I wish I could taste the marinade more. Kimchi Chigae was good; it also contained some meat. Spicy pork was also good; we all liked that one and would order it again. Some of their side dishes, such as dumplings and bean sprouts, were good too.

To start off, as a Korean person, I don't consider this place an authentic Korean restaurant but I'm not entirely surprised by how it tasted. I got the kimchi fried rice, soon dubu (soft tofu) soup, kalbi and bulgogi dinner set and ttukbaegi. The only dish that tasted authentic was the soon dubu, and I got the highest spicy level 5 and it wasn't that spicy. (I assume that a Korean person started this restaurant but probably sold it to a non Korean person.) The kimchi fried rice was huge in portion but not exactly what I expected it to taste like. The key ingredient in kimchi fried rice is the kimchi and it has to be aged kimchi for it to taste good. The kalbi & bulgogi set was alright, the bulgogi was a bit bland but the kalbi was good! If the food wasn't good here, I hope that you aren't disappointed by Korean cuisine! I appreciate the effort behind the food but I wanted to note that it doesn't taste authentic. Also it seemed like a lot of people take food to go or have ordered online for delivery because we were the only ones who ate in store.

My 1st experience with Korean dishes!! I purchased the Beef bulgogi lunch special and 2 egg rolls. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and those crispy egg rolls were awesome. I am going back today for another lunch special of the bulgogi and a spare rib platter. Front staff was warm friendly and pleasant. Food was fresh and came out in a satisfactory wait time.
