You don’t need to finish reading this review, this place is so insanely good and you just need to go, especially if Korean food is your jam. I’ve been here twice now and everything I’ve tried is incredible. I’ve had the curry katsu, spicy pork hot stone, and bulgogi pancake all of which were amazing and had so much flavor. This time I split the braised beef short rib and I was squealing with joy the whole way through. I had to stop mid conversation multiple times to gush about how good it was. Pro tip: add the cheese, you won’t regret it! (unless of course you’re lactose intolerant ? The short ribs came with two bowls of rice and any entree you get comes with the standard side dishes (banchan 반찬 which usually is kimchi and other tasty veg. And to top it all off, the staff are always so sweet and friendly.
Out of the three dishes my friends and I ordered, the chicken katsu stood out the most. It was surprisingly juicy and breaded just right. The sauce was good too.The beef bone broth and its spicy variant were good too—after a dash of salt and pepper. The sides weren’t bad either.As for seating, there’s a lot of tables. There’s paid parking behind the restaurant and metered parking on the streets surrounding around the restaurant.
I visited this restaurant for dinner with a friend after hearing many positive reviews, and I was eager to try it out! The interior was clean and featured lovely Korean decorations. The side dishes were fairly standard, consisting of bean sprouts, kimchi, pickled lettuce, pickled onion, and spicy radish. We ordered the beef broth soup and cheese curry katsu. The broth soup was absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend it! There was a generous portion of meat, making it easy to share. The cheese katsu was incredibly crispy and flavorful, providing a good serving size for one or two people. Overall, the food was great, and I'm looking forward to returning to explore more dishes on the menu. The service was decent, but it didn't stand out as exceptional.
I stumbled upon this restaurant while heading to my hotel, and I was craving some good Korean food to avoid the traffic. Wow! I'm still in the middle of my meal, but I feel compelled to write this review. The food is incredibly delicious, and the portion sizes are generous. The service is excellent, and my meal was prepared quickly. It has been, and continues to be, an amazing dining experience. If you're nearby, you should definitely give this place a try. You won’t regret it!
Without a doubt, this is some of the best Korean food I've ever had. The chicken curry katsu was outstanding, but the highlight was definitely the cheesy ramen tteokbokki—it was incredibly delicious. The service was also very fast.
