“ This might be the best Korean restaurant in the Bay. Flavours are on point!! The tofu soup in medium spicy just hit the spot and the bulgogi had that charcoal grill scent that makes it the real deal. Reminded me of a bulgogi place I go to with my grandma when I go back to Korea, so like the REAL deal. Im definitely coming backkkk ”
“ Absolutely the best Korean food in the area delicious side dishes, fulfilling portions of food, and extremely flavorful. They also have the BEST seafood pancake Ive ever had. Amazing restaurant overall, highly recommend from an Asian person!!! ”
“ Just go! Excellent, Cosy, Korean restaurant with all your favorites. They serve six side dishes, of which five can be eaten by vegetarians. The seafood pancake can be made vegetarian, and was great. The mushroom tofu stew, and pork BBQ were both yummy. You might be sitting very close to other tables, but it is understandable for a family restaurant. The service is attentive and prompt. ”
“ I have ordered a bossam to go. The food is very carefully wrapped to avoid any leakage. Also the food tastes great! ”
“ Mom and Pop place w the best Pajun in the world! Hands down. No fluff, no extra flour, lots of fillings like veges or seafood, and just plain crispy and light and none of that chewy dough most places sell that I will never eat. Always so happy here w home made feel of food. Thank you! ”

“ Not a place you will choose to eat at for ambiance as you can see from the photos but the food is awesome. One of the best for traditional korean food. Small place so may have to wait a bit at peak lunchdinner times but customers are usually in and out so tables become available pretty fast. ”
