Highly recommend this place! There so much variety in their Korean food and it was all delicious! This place is pretty busy and often has a wait on the weekends, so you may want to get there early. My favorite item was the pork bulgogi. Some of the best I’ve had. Their side dishes were also well-made and balanced the entrees nicely. The kimchi pancake is LARGE. Like the size of a medium pizza. We also really enjoyed the ordering experience. Each table has a tablet that you order from. Staff is constantly bringing out food and refilling beverages, etc.

This is a local Korean spot in Lynnwood. We tried the bossam (steamed pork) - I really liked how they bring out the meat and you cook it at your table. The pork was sliced thickly and it tasted great with the fresh garlic and bean paste. Also tried the galbi tang. The portion size was good - there were 3 large pieces of galbi in the soup. I really liked the rice here. While it’s the classic Korean purple and white rice, it was cooked really well. It had a nice, chewy texture to it. I also liked the banchan here too - pretty standard, but it tasted fresh and you can also for refills. *update - would also recommend the beef galbi here. The galbi was amazing!! Would recommend making a trip out here for the food!
