I think by now most people know their dumpling soup is special. They use bone milky broth and kimchi inside the dumpling gives a perfect balance of smooth and spicy. Their kalgooksoos, dumplings and red bean kalgooksoos are all winners. I’ve been coming here ever since they opened so I tried almost everything except the no specialty items they put on the menus for those who can’t have items with gluten.
My foodie friend brought me here and mentioned how they have the best chungookjang (traditional stinky bean fermented soup) which is healthy. I couldn’t believe it since they never advertised it nor suggested it. However my friend was right. It’s so good. And their soybean grounded soup called Kongbiji which is another traditional home food Koreans love was also superb. Can’t believe how I didn’t have it all along. Can’t believe how they never talked about it when I’ve been frequenting for the past two decades. Anyhow here two super healthy gluten free, vegetarian dish! Try it and...

I’ve been meaning to visit this spot for a while, and I’m so glad I finally made the drive completely worth it. This is an honest review: the 떡만두국 (김치/소고기/야채) here filled with kimchi, beef, and veggies, is hands down some of the best I’ve had in all of K-town.

You can really taste the quality and care in every bite, unlike some of the more commercialized local spots.
The banchan was equally impressive fresh, well-seasoned, and the kimchi especially stood out with its crisp texture and bold flavor. Everything paired beautifully with the soup.
It honestly reminded me of my fiancée’s mom’s home cooking authentic, soulful, and made with love. Easily a 10/10. We’ll definitely be coming back as...
Read moreto us: we got the original noodle and the spicy version
to others: I am shocked there are so many good reviews here because our experience was nothing but terrible. The servers have the typical "I-only-give-good-service-to-older-korean-ppl" attitude. I asked "what's good here" and They said "choose something from the menu, they are all good." in a very condescending manner. And their dumpling isn't that great either. They definitely skimp out on using high quality resources.
to owners: Acting all nice only when asking for the check thinking you'll get a good tip is the worst attitude you can possible have. I will not be...
