Everybody that works here is called John. The manager’s name is John. One of the waiters name is John. My name is John. The bathrooms are also called John. It’s amazing here however, there is one waiter here who is just as nice as our John and his name is. HOYEON and in Korean it is pronounced John. Beef dishes are served with dinner. The chicken and seafood is veggies is served with lunch very unique different taste in terms of flavors that you can create create you’ll see possibly some of the slides different flavors that you can combine especially the spicy up to the top spices that’ll melt your mouth even before you take a taste of it so if you like spicy or no spicy or whatever it’s pretty good it is kind of like a hot pot, but it’s it’s it’s a song unique flavor. I think it’s a fish broth that you use as a base and you add the seasoning and spices and you go up to the table and grab all the stuff that you want for your meal and they will gladly give you new pots to cook with and the servers are very well trained very polite and putting up with a customer like me that’s amazing and the manager even put up with me and but since his name is John, I can forgive him. This is the only place in the United States outside of Manhattan so it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity for you to explore with your taste buds vision and camaraderie with the people you love.
This is a total different experience than Kpot and other restaurants like this in Michigan. This destination is the only one outside of New York and I assure you it is delicious. Manager John is a fantastic administrator. This is a good place to dine in and I hope you enjoy your experience. Love from...
Read moreVery poor experience in this newly opened restaurant.
Our family went to this restaurant for dinner right before Mother's day. We waited for an hour to get a table. After we sat down, no server showed up. There were 2 stainless water bottles with no labels sitting on the table. We thought it was water and drunk it. It was broth for the pot! The server did not explain well how the food was served. The server did not come to our table when the pot was dried up and more broth should be provided. No prompt water refill either. The server did not come to our table to remove the used plates and bowls as often as it should be. At the end, we were unable to find the server when we wanted to get our bill. We had to walk to the front to pay. The server also did not make me aware that ice cream was available to customers. It was a very confusing, disappointing, and bad dining experience, especially for our special Mother's day dinner.
The food selection was very limited. There was only one kind of sliced meat which was very fatty and poor quality beef. Basically, they have different dry seasoning mix for you to add broth into it and then boil rice cake, noodles, vegetable, meat... lots of carbs. Just like eating ramen with more stuffs.
Another concern was that it was not clean. The plates on the buffet table were wet. The water cups on our table had water inside before we used them. Don't know if they were washed and dried properly. I have never seen a restaurant as disorganized and unprofessional as this one.
This is my first and last visit in this restaurant because of poor service and limited food selection. Do not...
Read moreI finally got to try Witch Tteokbokki (마녀 떡볶이) here in Michigan, and wow—this place instantly gave me that nostalgic chingu-mom( 친구엄마) vibe (you know, like when you’d go over to your friend’s house after school and her mom would whip up the best homemade tteokbokki). The flavor was so on point that I couldn’t stop saying, “This is so good!” the whole time I was eating.
The fried dumplings dipped into the spicy tteokbokki sauce? Next-level. That combo alone makes me want to come back again and again. And the service here—absolutely jinjja(진짜) amazing. A special shoutout to Hoyeon(호연님, he is also good at taking photos), the owner(사장님), and even John—you can tell why this place has such a rep for being one of the friendliest spots around. The non-alcoholic cocktail options were another thoughtful touch that made me feel really taken care of.
If you’ve ever seen those K-dramas or Netflix shows where Korean students in uniforms are huddled around a bubbling pot of tteokbokki—that’s exactly what it felt like here. And it doesn’t stop there: the spicy pork bulgogi, the samgyeopsal with kimchi… all I can say is chef’s kiss. You can really see how much research and care went into building this menu.
This spot is honestly such a gem, blending Korean comfort food with a modern U.S. dining vibe. Thank you to the owner for bringing such authentic yet trendy flavors to Michigan. I’ll definitely...
