I’d like to start off that I’m from South Korea, and this place is a gem and such a rare find for legit Korean food in south San Diego County. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I’ve been on a diet lately, so I came here for some protein the grilled chicken and steamed egg were both delicious and filling. My friend and I each ordered a steamed egg, and the portions were huge. We also ordered additional dumplings! It is a taste I truly couldn’t forget and dumplings were honestly amazing. Plus, there’s a Starbucks right next door, perfect for coffee after your meal.

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.

Ramen was GREAT! Super flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles definitely one of the better ramen bowls I’ve had in a while. I ordered the “seafood ramen,” and while it tasted good, I was a little disappointed that it only came with shrimp (and head-on shrimp at that 😅) for $21. I was hoping for a mix of seafood like mussels or squid. One thing I really appreciated, their to-go containers are smart! They keep the noodles separate from the broth so everything stays fresh and doesn’t get soggy. Overall, really tasty food and I’d definitely come back to try another dish!

I went for lunch with my family. Staff were super friendly, vibe was good and food was amazing! We ordered 5 dishes. Everything was really really flavorful. Loved that spicy pork was actually spicy! Portions were very generous. Definitely coming back for dinner. Would be perfect for a night out with friends! highly recommend!
