Food was delicious. Not sure if is short staff, only one lady running around serving customers so we had to ask a couple times for items. Pork bone soup with less spicy is pretty spicy already, so keep that in mind if you can't eat spicy. It came with purple rice. The combo A with veggie wrap meat was very good, and came with different kinds of vegetables. Bibimba was good love the side dishes! A lot more variety than other stores and bigger portions.

The seafood pancake is a must-have item. Very crispy outside, soft inside. The amount of chives and green onion is good, enough to have a taste but won't overpower the entire dish like you are eating mouthful of it. It will be better if there is a bit more seafood. The pork bone soup ........ soup is a bit spicier than normal. The pork bone is very tender. There are no perilla seeds. Overall, ok. The spicy bbq pork rice is quite spicy. My friend drank a couple of cold water. I can bear it, but I definitely can feel the heat. Side dish is ok. I will go back, even just for the pancake.

Highly highly recommend! The server was super sweet and fast, the food was delicious and good portion for the price. My heart is with the side dishes though, it was just so much better than other restaurant that i tried

Everything was tasty with lots of flavour. Free side items were excellent as well. If I had one complaint it would be regarding the Spicy pork. A little too one note, don't recommend it. Perhaps a bit more rice with all dishes as well.

Haven’t been here in awhile, and noticed their portion got a tad bit smaller and price went up which is understandable. Food tasted great, we ordered the combos since we’re sharing as a group, the bossam is also pretty good. The star of the show would be the side dishes in my opinion - really love them as they tasted homemade and fresh! Friendly services as well though we find some small fruit flies flying around at some point, so cleanliness is a bit questionable😅

Quaint/small Korean family restaurant. When this place gets busy, it's not unusual to wait half an hour for seats. The wait is well worth it due to the quality. It is one of the finer Korean joints. Firstly due to the intensity of flavours, they don't skimp with seasonings. Secondly the volume of food, you won't be disappointed. Pork bone soup was extremely tender and fall off the bone. Kimchi tofu soup was intense and flavourful. Price point is higher than most Korean joints but well worth it due to quality of ingredients. Congrats to the owner for running such a great place. The only recommendation is to hire another bus-boy or server to clean tables to increase turnover.

Cozy little restaurant in a small plaza. Their side dishes are the best out of all the Korean restaurants I have been to. And I’ve been to quite a few. I love their vegetable wraps, especially spicy squid & pork. Their seafood pancake is also exceptional. They are usually quite busy during the weekend so there can be a bit of a wait!
