Excellent food, service and vibes

Cozy Vibes Right when you walk in, you're taken back in time. Retro korean decor and retro ads playing on the TVs keep you entertained, but it's not overstimulating. Very cozy and intimate.

Attentive Service The server is knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, attentive without being pushy.

Excellent Food Soondobu Jigae (tofu stew) - flavorful and spicy, made from real ingredients like fresh tofu, seafood and spicy peppers rather than the watered down MSG stuff you get from a lot of places around here. And they serve it fresh on a gas burner! So we highly recommend getting the ramen on the side to cook in it. Scallion Jeon (pancakes) - thin, crispy, full of scallions, and not oily and spongy like most places around here. Best jeon I've had. LA Kalbi - hit the spot. Usually can't go wrong with Kalbi, but sometimes it's too greasy or sweet, which was not the case here. Spicy Chicken - tender and flavorful, just wish it were a bit spicier and we hoped it could be served with raw lettuce.

This is my new favorite go-to Korean restaurant...

Service was efficient, prices fair, atmosphere felt authentically Korean, and the food was delicious. This was my first time there. My guest and I were the only Caucasians in the place, a good sign. We had Hite beer, fried chicken, Kimchi pancake, and stir fry spicy pork. I would have them all again. We received soup before and rice and fresh side dishes such as pickled radish, bean sprouts with sesame oil, Kimchi and coleslaw. Next time I go I look forward to ordering the fried chicken with sweet chili sauce and maybe a...

It seems like this place underwent remodeling and reopened. They didn't have the exact menu as shown in the website/review picture.

But the dishes I ordered were really delicious and the servers were both kind and friendly. I left very satisfied!

I had spicy stir-fried small intestine (no pic) and sweet and sour chicken - both were delicious, and portion size was larger than it appeared! Also the fries were good too, I could tell it was made by them.

Had a fantastic time there - I definitely recommend giving this...
