    I got the tteok manduguk soup and it was super yummy and comforting exactly what I was craving. The flavors were rich, the broth was perfect, and everything tasted so fresh. Keith, our server, was amazing too! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back! ????????

    I was excited to eat here and it did not disappoint. We walked in and placed our order to-go. The gentleman working there was super nice and friendly. We are not very familiar with this cuisine and he helped us decide on what to order. My husband had the Jeyuk over Rice (K12) and I had Dolsot Bibimbap (K8). Both were very fresh, flavorful and we both had leftovers. It was clean and tv screens played a show or video of food being prepared kept us entertained while we waited. I was excited to see the variety of soups on the menu which I look forward to trying during the cooler months.

    Went out with my mother for a day of fun. We decided to try thus place based on the constant recommendation from my sister. During 1st entry you can feel that there's a great vibe. Customer service was superb, every question was answered promptly Helping us make a good decision on what dish we may like. Never had to look for our server, he was Johnny on the spot. Price was amazing especially after seeing the portion size. Food was piping hot and flavorful, where other restaurants may give a filler item while you wait. This establishment came out with a plethora of unique Korean samples. (See photos) All around amazing!

    My wife and I have been coming here since they opened. Even though the new owner has changed a few things on the menu, we're still extremely satisfied with the food. The cheese corn for example is now done with butter instead of mayo. I preferred it honestly but my wife says she will miss the old one. The new fried chicken though is very good and reminds me of the options that we had in Seoul. It's definitely a slightly different take but hits the same spot. And AG the server does an amazing job each time we come in. Very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Absolutely plan on coming back and bringing our friends.q

    Sooo delicious!!! Have gotten the Korean fried chicken as takeout before and that was good but having their food hot and ready was amazing. Their bibimbap was incredible and my friend loved her bulgogi. I was wanting comforting food and I got it!

    This is a great little spot nestled in Hazel Dell. The food was delicious! We had the soon tofu, beef bulgogi, and japchae. The portions were large, everything came out quickly, and was full of flavor. Great value. We look forward to our next visit.
