We came here for a dinner on a Friday night and sat outside although this restaurant has a few seats inside.Although my seafood pancake was pretty good, the length of time you took to serve me, my food was unacceptable. The rest of my party went to other locations in the food court, and finished their meals before I even got mine delivered.I noticed that there was only one person working during the dinner rush.

The jjampong was similarly poor, not tasting the right way.

Would highly recommend for the yummy kimchi options they have and good selection of ramen from simple to complex. Good choices for thise who dont eat red meat! They have quick and friendly service. Order outside at a kiosk. Some indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating. Definitely will be back!

Good flavor from the pork and the dish was steaming hot even after a 10 minute walk back to my dorm. Other members of my party who ordered separately also expressed their satisfaction of their food. Would go back! Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20
