Food is tasty! Services were good but there was a non-Korean server and I am Korean, she questioned me on how I pronounced the names of the dishes and tried to correct me... I also never been to a Korean restaurant that charges for Banchan (side dishes) unless you order a certain main dish. I would go back for the food, but now I'm aware of these.
Decent portion, great taste! The chicken had a nice crunch and wasn't too salty. Portion size was fair for the price. Service was friendly.
Clean tables, excellent service, piping hot delicious soups with refillable sides. Menu makes more sense at the restaurant Should have taken a picture. Ordering was easier in person.
Gets the job done when you have a Korean craving! Everything was pretty tasty. Loved my Korean tofu soup with the dumplings. We also shared the Korean corn dog which was crispy tho I felt like there could have been more cheese inside. The fried rice was filling but kinda bland even with the cheese. The bulgogi dish was very flavorful and tasty with the rice. Wouldn't mind stopping by again to try other dishes if I'm in the area in the future
We came for a weeknight dinner and had no wait. Not sure if it's different on weekends. Plenty of parking also on a weeknight. Ordered tofu soup, mandu, fried chicken, and bulgogi. All of it was good and would order it again but the bulgogi. The meat was good but wish there more meat than onions and mushrooms.
Okay so I'm from the Bay Area and living here I certainly feel the lack of diversity when it comes to food options. Very excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint! I will be honest with prefacing it certainly isn't the most authentic Korean food Ive had. I mean, to not get kimchi as a side is pretty weird. But all things considered it is still good! Came in on a weekday evening and the place was basically empty. Server was very friendly and tentative and we got seated quickly. Place is super clean and cool vibes. We ordered the bimbibap, tofu soup, and fried chicken and everything was good! Loved the crunch on the chicken, and the tofu soup was super flavorful. Prices were decent although I think its more worth it for their lunch specials. I will be back!
I came in for lunch, and was quickly seated. Parking in that lot can be dicey and was fortunate to get a close spot. This restaurant is tucked in between Mountain Mike's Pizza and Buffalo Wild Wings. Walking in, it got quiet, even with the closeness of the street traffic. I did not see any high chairs for kids and the bathroom wasn't the cleanest. As for the food itself, I had the Yangyum chicken. It's like a combination of sweet, sour and spicy on top of the perfectly crunchy fried chicken. I got an order of white rice with a soda (the Hawaiian iced tea was not available). The Yangyum was delicious. I was shocked. I will be back to try other flavors. Price: 29.50 (includes tip)
