The atmosphere reminds me of old-school Korean restaurants. The owner was awesome. The food was good. I would give it a 5 star if it was more of a Korean flavor and was not Americanized. But for what you get it was awesome. Had the Yuk Gae Jang and Kimchee fried rice. Both were great.

Bibimbap is always a go-to when I get Korean food, and this one was exceptional. I did not mind the fact that the sauce was not spicy at all, and found the side of kimchi to be the best I've had in a while. Very kind owners who served me even while eating their own lunch. Thanks!

To go order, but with a twist! I arrived at closing time, unknowingly. I was so tired. But I was welcomed. They served me and I was off by 8:40pm. Presentation 100% Every item of food was made well. Kimchi was extra delicious. Best Udon I will rest well. Thank you

The food really hit the spot after a cool day of drizzly weather. We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki, U-don, and Dwenjang stew. Kevin also brought out for us kimchi, rice, and pickled radish for appetizers. He was friendly and welcoming to all the customers. The Dwenjang stew is excellent with some rice. I also enjoyed the udon and soup. My daughter loved all the different flavors of the dishes. This is the best comfort food after a rainy day.

First time dining in this restaurant. The owner is very friendly the food is good. the portion a little too much for my tummy. We order gyoza, spicy squid, and short ribs. So we order way too much for only two persons. Highly recommended.

A nice choice of menu items from this small family owned restaurant. The owners are pleasant and ready and willing and able. Very kind people indeed. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Lunch Special. Comes with a Fried Rice. I enjoyed my meal here. I will have to return to order other items, than you. Thank you, indeed.

Huge hit of nostalgia for me. A picture on the wall and the bowing dolls in 한복 on the counter are exactly the same as in my grandparents' house. Food was generously portioned and delicious! Not much in the way of 반찬 (side dishes) but the kimchi was really good. 사장님 silently corrected my rice and soup placement, which is the kind of bluntness I appreciate from my Korean elders. Absolutely plan to come back again.
