The place is very cute, warm, and inviting. Already like the atmosphere. I wish they have kimbap, it's one of my fav. They do have a lot of Korean dishes on their menu, so they have a picture and description for each dish on the wall. Also, they got the diy ramen stations, a plus.
Now the downside. I got the black bean noodles and pork dumplings. The black bean sauce was a little too thick, so it was kinda hard to mix into the noodles. It's like the Korean version of spaghetti if you never had it before.
The dumplings were nice and hot, but one of them was slightly pink inside. Should I be concerned? I let the residual heat of the dumplings cook off potential raw pinkness inside and continued eating the dumplings. A few hrs later, I'm still ok.
Then my friend and I got our drinks. The owner came out with one drink first and asked my friend if the drink was Chai or Thai. My friend got the Thai Milk Tea, I got the Chai Milk Tea. He asked my friend to try it out to see, I already knew it was Chai. The owner said he got it mixed up on the machine, but the distinct orange hue of Thai Tea should be obvious. If you as a business owner don't know your products just by looking at it, then you should at least get to know all your products' details or characteristics. The owner finally came out with both of our drinks, but he still got it mixed up. He gave me Thai Tea and my friend Chai. I swapped our drinks around to our original order before we dug in. My drink was the wrong size too. I got a Med, not a Lg. He gave me a large. At least he charged me for a Med? He didn't even give me a receipt.
The owner was more attentive in customer service towards my friend, I felt he wasn't paying much attention to my order. He only addressed my friend about our mixed up drink orders and gave my friend his food first. I know he was super busy with online orders and people picking up food.
I was really looking forward to try this place out since it reopened a while ago, but it was kinda disappointing. It's not bad to visit when you're hanging with friends and looking for something else other than pizza or fried foods, or getting out of work or school. Maybe they need to hire a few more people to help out. Overall, the place is nice, the owner just has to get his...
Read moreTypical suburban Korean restaurant with decent food and great service.
Stopped by for lunch while passing through the area. One of the locals mentioned this space used to be a popular breakfast diner, and it still retains that diner-like charm—casual, efficient, and a bit reminiscent of a highway service station cafeteria in Korea. The restaurant is run entirely by the owners, so expect a bit of a wait (up to 30 minutes), but both times I visited, they were incredibly kind—no service charge for dine-in, and they offered complimentary bottled water/soda.
The menu was straightforward. Korean comfort staples like Black Bean Noodles, Army Stew, and Spicy Pork. No trendy fusion twists—just solid, familiar dishes at reasonable prices.
Everything I tried was decent. Nothing to write home about, but portion sizes were generous, and I appreciated that they included a free bowl of rice with each entrée (a rare perk these days).
A nice touch was the instant ramyun station—set up just like the ones in Korean convenience stores. You do have to cook it yourself, and I recommend pulling the noodles around the 4-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Overall, a solid family-owned spot and seemingly the only authentic Korean restaurant in the area. If you’re in the mood for something basic but comforting, it’s...
Read moreThese clowns charge a credit card processing fee. $1 This is irritating. No, infuriating. Soon they'll start charging a "to-go" fee, or worse, a "customer service" fee like Lanxang... Yeah, "Let us charge you a fee for coming to our restaurant and having to serve you". Never been back to Lanxang, and even though Seoul Bunsik's food is great, I'm gonna visit other local restaurants who aren't playing these games...
I hate "fees for this", "fees for that".... Processing credit is part of doing business. They shouldn't charge different prices whether you pay cash or card... (It should be the same price for everyone. Fold in your all your (bleep) fees in your prices and we'll be none the wiser....)
First time was GREAT. Second time was really, really slow... Thankfully for them, the employee did apologized for the long wait... I would have knocked out a few stars, I tell ya. It was worth the wait, I guess. Bibim Bap was still great.
Recently discovery this new Korean restaurant in Dracut. Owners (I would assume) are so friendly and welcoming! You don't see this nowadays... Food was delicious! We ordered the Bibimbap to go, and had enough for the two of us. Some menu items are a bit pricey, some are more reasonable.
We will definitely...
