I've sampled many of the dishes here, and each one has been outstanding—you really can’t go wrong! From bibimbap and bulgogi to chap chae, soondubu, and yukejan, the homemade Korean cuisine crafted by the wonderful staff is an absolute must-try if you're in the vicinity! If you're new to Korean food, I highly recommend starting with the bibimbap; I have introduced it to friends who are unfamiliar with Asian cuisine, and it has become their gateway into the delicious flavors of Korea. And did I mention that each meal comes with around eight different side dishes to enjoy? I couldn't recommend this place more!

The side dishes are genuine, but they don’t provide large portions; you’ll need to ask for more if you want it.

The ribeye and bulgogi were exceptionally well-seasoned, and the Korean pancake was unlike anything I’ve tried before—it was definitely our favorite dish! The only downside was that the timing of the dishes was a bit off, but we were in and out within an hour and still had a great time. The staff was excellent, and we left feeling completely satisfied and full.
