It’s not a fine dining restaurant but the food tasted good, they offer tofu as protein. I had bibimbap, just ask for no egg.

Ever since they opened up, they’ve become a weekly “go-to” for me. The food has got that authentic flavor for my Korean American heart and soul for sure. Highly recommend this place.

If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out! Start with an arepa/sandwich. Ham and tomato is my favorite, shredded beef is a close second.
