“ My friend has suggested this restaurant a bunch of times and I'm so glad we finally went! I love the interior. It's very homey and the ambiance/decor reminds me of a restaurant I went to in Korea. They give so much banchan too and you can ask for extras! We ordered the kimchi jjigae and the seafood scallion pancake to share for two and it was already more than enough. I love a good pancake and this one hit the spot. Not soggy or overly crispy or too batter-y. The kimchi jjigae was also very filling and not too spicy either! Very much liked how cozy this place felt. ”

“ Food here is great! We came here for lunch and ordered much. I personally like Galbi the most. The tofu soup was just alright. But I really enjoyed the friendly service! ”

“ Lunch specials (11 am - 4 pm) are an incredible deal here, and for less than $20, you can get any of the meats (except for kalbi at $23). Pretty much half of what you'd pay at dinner time, though undoubtedly you'd get bigger portions. The banchan are great and roll out as soon as you sit down, and with the lunch specials, you get a choice between a tofu soup or a steamed egg. Weirdly, no matter how many specials are ordered, you get one for the whole table. A little shot of sikhye (sweet rice beverage) wraps up your meal, and you'll likely have leftovers for another meal! Airy, light-filled space, with cozy booths and friendly wait staff. ”

“ Even though this restaurant is pricey, it is so authentic! We came and had the bbq option. Ordered galbi, pork belly, and some brisket. Also ordered a stir fried octopus. The entire meal came with so much banchan that was frequently refilled and the entire table was covered in delicious goodies. They were also so nice to give an extra steamed egg soufflé and a sweet rice drink at the end. ”

“ Visited here on back to back weekends, and it continues to be my favorite Korean spot in the city. If you come on a Saturday night, be prepared to wait 45+ min for a table. On the other hand, the wait on a Sunday night was 10 min (for a large group). The first weekend, we opted to get the bbq and grill some meats. The bulgogi I thought was pretty underwhelming, the sauce was a bit too sweet for me, and the meat wasn't particularly tender (and a bit too thick?). The jumulleok (seasoned boneless beef short ribs) was better in terms of meat quality, although I still prefer a marinated kalbi. We also got a seafood pancake although I found the seafood pancake a bit too doughy. The second weekend, we did non-bbq and got the kimchi jjigae, pan fried meat dumplings, bibimbap, seafood pancake, and kalbi. The seafood pancake was better this time, nice and crispy and not too doughy. The kalbi was solid, and I really liked the kimchi jjigae, which was nice and comforting on a cold-ish evening. The bibimbap and dumplings were fine but not memorable. The banchan continues to be the highlight, although I can't figure out how they decide if you get the tofu stew (which we got the first weekend) or the steamed egg (which we got the second weekend). Also turns out they have at least 9 different banchan, although you don't get as many when you go with a smaller group. If you opt for meat, the meal gets pricy very quickly, ended up being like $75 per person (with half a seafood pancake leftover). On the other hand, my second visit was $25 per person. I honestly think I prefer the non-bbq options more (and it's more affordable). ”
