Overall pretty good food, with nothing particularly standing out to be spectacular, but with nothing exceptionally terrible, either. All of the dishes contain good flavor and can offer an authentic Korean cuisine experience without a doubt. I came here with a group of friends so we ordered a few dishes to share altogether.
The seafood pancakes were leaning on the plain side relatively and personally I felt like it contained a bit too much dough and not enough of seafood or scallions, but it still had good texture. The jap chae was as standard as I could imagine, which was a positive thing because the dish itself basically was seasoned vermicelli noodles, meaning delicious. The soon tofu was pretty standard. The hot stone bibimbap was also as standard as I could imagine, and of course I used gochujang on it which made it flavorful. Both the spicy pork bulgogi and the galbi were seasoned well enough, which was pretty good. Not the best I have had anywhere, but good enough for me to say that it resembled what I have had in Korea.
Since this establishment is on a very popular and busy street, I recommend people walking there if they are able to. I lived close to the area so I basically walked there and enjoyed everything else the street had to offer as well. It also tends to get very busy on weekends so I recommend people arriving early if they are...
Read moreI usually come here, and its normally great, but todays service was terrible. Our female server, whom i assume was Charlotte(kind of young asian girl with her hair up in a ponytail) because that's what was on our receipt. She lied to us as a customer and to her coworkers. First when we asked why our rice wasnt served in the stone pot like usual, she just gave an abrupt "we ran out. No more". We later found out from another server who informed us that they actually stopped serving stone pot rice after a certain time. It may not seem like a big deal, but being lied to is a very bad feeling. Then when we asked for more banchan, the guy who so kindly brought it for us explained that they actually had last call for banchan already, but that he will still get it for us anyways. She had lied to them saying she had come to our table to ask for last call when she did nothing like that. Her attitude and service was far below the standards of this establishment, and either need new training or her employment should be reconsidered. The other servers were very helpful with getting things straightened out, but i had to speak out about this experience This review will remain here until changes have been observed to be made. On a side note, food was...
Read moreLooking for some delicious Korean soup near Ucla and I found this place. It is only 10 minutes away and I highly recommend it. It is located in a strip mall that has several other Asian restaurants, Chinese, Japanese Filipino Boba tea, gift shop. It’s around the neighborhood also appears to have many Asian restaurants that are serving LA locals
Vibe: Modern, clean and quiet, lots of LA locals and Asians that look like they know how to order. Attentive service.
Food: it appears that the specialties here are Bibibop and soft tofu soup. I love softer for soup, and I selected medium spicy tofu soup with a mixture of seafood and meat. The soup had a nice combination of calamari, muscles, shrimp, beef and pork and healthy dosage of soft tofu. The broth was boiling hot, and when I asked for medium spicy, it was exactly that.
Service friendly, not very talkative and efficient. I think there was one waiter for the 30 tables but he made sure the water and the Ban Chan was out immediately and brought me my soup as soon as available. I can imagine that during a busier time, there’s a line out the door, but when I was there, I could select any...
