Most dishes are cooked in the kitchen for you so less cooking smells. Dishes come out fast! This always helps when your table is hungry & ready to eat. My favorite is their traditional kimchee soup (no meat). Next is kalbi. Lots of ban chan offered. Most people who come here become regulars, like me. Consistently good food each time."

Jul 29, 2026"The food was great—especially the Korean BBQ, which I really enjoyed. The service was good overall, but I wish we had a bit more attention from the waiter. At one point I wanted to order more food, but the waiter wasn’t around. I’d recommend ordering everything you want right away. Still, the food itself was very good and worth it."

I was greeted and walked to a table. The interior was very nice. I ordered a lunch special with galbi tang. They served me eight banchan, steamed egg, rice, and a pot of barley tea, and a cup of silhye when I went to pay. Everything was excellent. The galbitang had plenty of meat and also had rice noodles. I'll definitely be back."
