This place is fantastic! I was so excited to find such an authentic Korean restaurant in a quiet town like LaGrange, and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The decor made me feel like I was right back in Korea and I got to practice some Korean conversation which was so fun after a long time of not using it. I had the kimchi jjigae which was delicious and the banchan were great as well. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes!

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.

Wasn't very impressed with this place. I loved the atmosphere and the way it looks on the inside, the service wasn't great and the food was disappointing compared to other korean places ive tried. Not a fan of getting a canned drink at a restaurant. A lot of the food lacked flavor and spice. I asked for the hottest sauce they had and was given a very mild red paste that i would rank about a 2/10 on the heat scale. Least amount of side cups ive ever had with korean food, nothing pickled like i usually enjoy. The dumplings were probably the best ones ive ever had.... i will give them that. I can tell this place is authentic and has potential, but the service wasnt great on my first trip and food was underwhelming. When i get a taste for dumplings, i'll give them another shot.

Good authentic Korean in a place you wouldn't really expect it to be. The jiang jiang mein sauce was not as flavorful as I have had elsewhere but the champong was very tasty.
