We decided to visit a different Korean restaurant near us and I'm so glad we ventured beyond our usual spots. We ordered the japchae, the beef bimbimbap, and the kimchi sundubu. All of them were good portions and delicious. We also really enjoyed each of the ban chan dishes. Definitely will be coming back soon!

Great food. Ordered the spicy pork, veg pancake and tofu soup. The food felt fresh and inviting. Although we had more than enough for two people, the food gets digested easily The service was in par with mom and pop shops. The two ladies had to take care of a house full of people. No complaints there The ambiance was decent. The food masks off everything

Returned again - from Oakland - and had all of our favorites: dolsot bibimbap, japchae, kalbi, and tried the Pan Fried Cakes with Vegetables. They were delicious - like Korean tempura. Highly recommended!

In the mood for some good korean food and this place was only about 8 minutes from my house. We arrived around 6:45 PM and there was a few other people waiting in line . I put my name on the waitlist and waited about 15 minutes. I also grabbed a menu while we waited so I could order as soon as we sat down We ordered the seafood pancake and the kimchi dolsot bibimbap. Our waitress brought out the banchan with the bibimbap and we dug in. I do love the banchan assortment of kimchi, glass noodle, spicy tofu, veggies etc. then the seafood pancake came out and we went to townnn. It was delicious oh my goodness. So many unique flavors that are all complimentary of each other. The seafood pancake is huge and we had more than half left over. And they give you a pancake sauce and I combined it with their chili oil sauce and man that was so tasty. I usually base restaurants on if I will think about them or crave them with in the next month and I'm gonna think about this place literally the day after. Overall sooooo good with fantastic food and waiters that don't mess around

Ordered a takeout of bulgogi from here. It came with purple rice and the banchan sides (pickled cucumbers, Japche, sprouts and potatoes) Notably the packaging was pretty solid for takeout, the quantity of bulgogi was decent and the quality was good. The bulgogi was not overly sweet . Overall a good spot to grab some food for your Korean food cravings.

When we walked in I didn't see the sign in on the wall. Fortunately the gentleman who greeted us remembered we were there first and sat us even though another couple who came after and were quicker to put their name on the list. Seemed like a family owned and operated business. Husband was friendly while the wife was a little curt and task oriented. What we loved was that our food came out rather quickly and it was piping hot and tasty:

Came in a little close to closing time but they were still able to seat us which was greatly appreciated. They took our order pretty quickly and got water and tea for us while we waited. We ordered a seafood pancake, beef dolsat bibimbap, and seafood dolsat bibimbap. Everything came out very quickly and I was pleasantly surprised because we came in very hungry. To start with all the accompaniments were very good, which is to be expected at a place such as this. The seafood pancake was exceptional, one of the best I have ever had. I had the beef dolsat bibimbap and was very happy with how it came out. It was piping hot and the flavor with the gochujang was outstanding. Overall I enjoyed my experience, I wish they provided more water because of how hot everything was, and the service was... to the point to say the least but not rude. I would definitely come back just for the seafood pancake, but this is definitely a great spot to get quality Korean food.

The best seafood pancake! While their other dishes are good as well, this is what keeps me coming back! They always execute their seafood pancake so well! Perfectly crispy, a good amount of seafood and veggies, and a really tasty sauce! Definitely get this! I also like getting their Soon Tofus. Always hits the spot. Their dumpling soon tofu is my favorite! Their bulgogi dish is quite tasty as well. We recently tried their Bibimbap and were surprised with how much we liked it! It comes in a large stone pot with a good amount of meat, vegetables, and egg. And of course, you must add the gochujang sauce for that extra flavor and spice! They also have the best banchan--japchae, fish cake, cucumbers, kimchi, tofu, and bean sprouts. So good! Service can be a bit slow, but be patient--the business is run by some older individuals, and they are working hard! The restaurant is also quite busy during peak dinner hours!

One of the best Korean restaurants in the area! I really like the bibimbap, vegetable pancake, and fried chicken here and the variety of banchan they provide. Serving sizes for the bibimbap and the bbq meat dishes are pretty large. It is a small restaurant and is very popular so does have a wait sometimes but they move pretty quickly!
