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.

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.

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.

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.
