Amazing Korean food! Best bon chon flavors we have had on the peninsula. Service is friendly and the people are very kind and check to make sure the order is right! We also got the tofu soup (which was very good and not overly salty like some places) and the dolsot bibembop which is one of the best ones on the peninsula because the chicken is big chunky pan fried and so flavorful and the veggies are not the cheap kinds but the kind that is fresh and easy to chew (you know what I mean if you have had this!). Thank you our second time here and we love it!

A couple of us were trying to go to the new ramen place that opened nearby but the line was too long so we came here instead. There was plenty of room and seating at 6pm on a Saturday. The parking lot is nice and big.The food is yummy but expensive. The tofu soup is too salty. But the meat is nice. We got the bulgogi full size which is pretty big and could serve 2+ people. The chicken wings were pretty good and big too. They served hot tea after we were seated. The seafood pancake is pretty standard.Overall good food and vibes but it is pretty expensive.

The restaurant is nondescript in a strip mall. The interior is also plain. Although the tables have a bbq spot, these were not being used during the experience. The highlight was the Gal Bi ribs that were nicely cooked and well seasoned. The grilled onions that come with the ribs are great with the purple rice. If you finish any of the side dishes, they refill right away. Use the scissors they provide to cut the meat off the ribs, it’s so much easier.

This is my neighborhood Korean restaurant and I bring my friends here whenever theyre in town. The staff is always welcoming and the food is prepared like its homemade. I ordered seafood tofu to go and the lady in the counter(Julia ) was super nice as usual. I forgot how much food there is in one order! The purple rice was so good! I will not let 2 months pass by without going to this place again!

Our favorite Korean restaurant in the mid-peninsula and its a good place to bring kids as its easy to get a table, theres highchairs & diaper changing table in the bathroom, and is relatively casual. The staff is incredibly friendly so we always feel really comfortable eating there. Our go-tos are the galbi tang soup (which has enough meat to feed two), soft tofu soups, or stone pot bi bim bap. The small side dishes that come with your meal are yummy too!!!

I always have tofu soup every time i go to korean restos, this is the first time i had it with NO FLAVOR at all. Their tteokbokki is so hard like they rushed to cook. Their seafood pancake was the only thing i ordered thats good. It has the crunch even tho its a bit burnt. The black bean noodle doesn taste like a black bean noodle. My son who loves to eat it had 2 bites and he’s done. This is my first and last.

This family-run Korean restaurant is an absolute gem in the Marina area and Im glad we can call this our neighbourhood restaurant. Service is exceptional and the tofu soups are reliably awesome. You can choose between 5 levels of spicy and they dont skimp on the banchan quality. Ingredients are always fresh and best to eat the food at the restaurant. You cant complain about the price; there is a time for Dennys (across the road) and theres a time for Korean soul-food.

Bad service, pretty good food. When I got there they didn’t seat me, so I just stood there awkwardly for a few before the woman working said I can choose a table, but she seemed annoyed by it. I sat down and looked at the menu before ordering the spicy pork bulgogi, which was honestly pretty good, like 8/10. The only problem was they didn’t give me a water, even after I asked for one. I was like halfway done with my food before I just decided to get up and ask again at the counter. They finally did give me a glass of water, but didn’t apologize for the poor service. The people working people there, I assume the owners, don’t seem to care about customer service. Really rubbed me the wrong way, but I still tipped $3 and made sure to write “H20” on my receipt. Note to owners: customers are kind of important in the restaurant business.

Family style, not too fancy, but the food is pretty delicious! The server was very friendly and offered side dishes refills without me asking for it.

60$ for just this little bit of food. At least give me decent amount of meat when i order, this was a joke. They even layered the meat with onions making it even less. Pathetic never going back. Please lower your prices or give bigger portions
