We ordered a variety of delicious dishes, including the Dr. K Cure All noodle soup, the mandoos, and the Yin and Yang. The food was fantastic! The spice levels were just right, and it was wonderful to enjoy something with a bit of a kick. Since they prepare everything fresh, they also customize the spice levels to your liking. The seasonal vegetables were cooked to perfection. I really wish we had a place like this near home!

My fiancée, who is quite picky about vegetables, enjoyed his entrée, which made me happy! I ordered the kimchi tofu patties, and while they were delicious, I must admit the texture was a bit off-putting at first (the tofu is quite soft but combined with lightly cooked vegetables), and I wasn't a fan of the sauce. We shared the dumpling appetizer, the red bean small cake, and ginger apple juice, all of which were delightful. Although it can get pricey if you order an appetizer and dessert, the portions are generous, and we ended up with plenty of leftovers!

Very bland and flavorless food that consisted of mostly steamed or boiled vegetables. I would absolutely stay away from the bibimbap and “dark side of the moon”. Also what Korean restaurant spells bibimbap, “bi bim bop”?? The dumplings would have been great if prepared well. Just a bit too rubbery. The giant red bean cake was fine, but it’s just mochi, not actual cake. Updated from previous review on 2024-06-29
