Excellent Korean food experience with friendly proprietors who believe in their food. Our group tried a number of different dishes and all were excellent. Many were a lot of fun to behold, coming out bubbling or sizzling in the hot stone bowl. We loved all the side dish/condiments that came with the meals as well. Flavors were great and you are given the option of spice levels. If you are adverse to hot spices then try the bulgogi which is slightly sweet or the bibimbap which is neutral. The place is not particularly attractive and isn't a place for a romantic date, but the food is great and the service is friendly. The meal came out fairly quickly, and the rest of the service was attentive and they filled our condiments/pickles as needed. They're very happy to explain the dishes and how to eat them, and how it is good for your health. Prices are consistent and decent at about $16 a dish. They only have about a dozen dishes, so it's nice they stick to a few and do those really well. The restaurant is small but they have seating for around 30 people. Parking in the lot just north is small and looks full, but there is more parking and covered parking further and around back. The weirdest thing of the night was seeing some plastic grapes decorating the handle above the toilet in...

I am disappointed that they got rid of the sprouts banchan, it was my favourite. The banchan portions are also very small now. Other than that, it is still delicious.
Edit: This place has not changed; quality food, ingredients, and flavour. The employees are friendly. Still love coming here after all these years.
To the reviewer who said the cooks are Chinese and patrons are not Korean.. clearly, you do not come here enough to know this. This is a Korean family owned establishment, and over the years, they have garnered patrons from all walks of life. I see many korean families and couples dining here all the time. I also see people of various ethnicities enjoying their delicious food.
--previous review--- We have been going here for 7 years! We have never been disappointed in the quality of the food. It is so delicious & portions are perfect. We feel very full after a meal here. The owners are elderly, kind folks (this is a family run joint), and I feel it doesn't matter what hour of the day we go, they are always there. They work...
Read moreWent in for dinner around 6pm, it was full and have to wait the owner/server for 15mins to clear table. Server was attentive, polite and apologetic, it was hard for him to take care of 15 tables of diners. We ordered one tofu combo (shrimp, mussel) with rice and one tofu combo (mushroom, mussel and zucchini) with noodle, and one order of vege dumpling. The two tofu combos were ok flavoured, however the ingredients were way too little. They literally only gave one tiny shrimp and one mussel in each combo with the rest of tofu, and the mushrooms in noodle were so thin that you would probably be amazed and wondered how good the knifing skill in the kitchen.. also ordered vege dumpling and when you would think they should offer more in quantity to compensate the different ingredient from beef dumpling, unfortunately beef or vege both are $6 for 6 pieces. And they only provided one round of side dishes, which should come in two sets since we ordered two main combos, but we ended up have to share one set with no re-fill. Food taste was ok, but the dining experience and prices / portions were definitely...
