Excellent Korean food. The grilled ribs are huge and have a great char and marinade. The cold noodles are also really good. The spicy ones aren't too spicy but give enough of a kick to give it some flavor. Plus, they are made of buckwheat...Read More

Loved the food at this Korean restaurant. It is a small establishment so be prepared for close quarters and possibly a line but it'll be worth it. The staff is polite and attentive and it's pretty admirable how many customers one of their servers can...Read More

The grilled pork ribs in original sauce is a must get. The hotpot was hearty and umami and paired very well with either rice or the crispy and chewy seafood scallion pancakes. I also loved that the paid drinks come in frozen glass and they give...Read More

I can see why this place is always packed because the food and service is truly top-notch. I've tried most of their broths, all of which are packed with flavor, but my favorite is the pork bone soup. The portions are immense, so it's perfect...Read More

January 2025. Highly recommended this Korean BBQ place with flavorful grilled pork ribs. The side dishes were amazing delicious as well. Even though, the squid’s was quite spicy but all of us enjoyed all our selection. Will love to return soon.
