December 2025 Informal and casual Korean restaurant in general downtown area. Food is standard with a bit of authenticity lacking as flavors are there but ingredients are just average. Meat is less tender than traditional and appetizers can be improved. Service is standard and efficient. Place is a bit aged. All in all a good option if you need a quick Korean meal.

My favorite Korean restaurant. The soft tofu soup is fabulous. The bibimbap is great too. The truffle fries are delicious and a very healthy portion but it will fill up up so to leave room for your dinner, share it with others. The service is friendly and efficient The restaurant is small and cozy. K Pop videos are projected on a wall. No steps so accessable

My friend and I, both Korean, had a great meal yesterday! We ordered a spread of dishes, including 오징어볶음 (spicy stir-fried squid), 매운삼겹살 볶음 (spicy pork belly stir-fry), 고등어구이 (grilled mackerel), and 육계장라면 (spicy beef soup with ramen), and every single one was delicious. it tastes authentic– still some dishes are a bit sweeter but it’s still good. The service was also top-notch; our server was really kind and attentive throughout our meal.

This isn’t a place you’ll write home about, but if you’re under the weather or just craving something hearty, the Army Stew is a must. It’s a big bubbling pot of everything—including the kitchen sink: ham, sausage, Spam, baked beans, kimchi, instant noodles, gochujang, mushrooms, and rice cakes. Super filling—enough to feed 4 people easily. It was just my husband and me, but we still ordered it and took half home. We also loved the seafood pancake—crispy, flavorful, and one of those dishes that’s best eaten fresh (definitely don’t save it for the next day). These two dishes are the standouts and would get 4 stars on their own. That said, we’ve tried other items before like the fried chicken wings and bibimbap, and they didn’t hit the mark—lacking authenticity and flavor. Stick to the Army Stew and seafood pancake, and you’re in for a comforting, satisfying meal.

This was genuinely surprising. I loved this place. Its nonchalant on the street but when you stumble into the gem, you won't regret it. I tried everything. The kimchi pancake was moist and not too sour, the rice balls were salty and oily goodness, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The spices on all the food was very unique and you feel like you can taste Korea with every bite. 9.0/10 Pro Tip: go with a friend and get as much variety as you can. There is too much to try in just one go. Oh and they give you little appetizers at the start of your meal.
