Love, love, love this place!!!I was introduced to this little gem about 7-8 years ago and I have never been disappointed in my visit. It is my go to.The food is Korean/American combo. So, the usual American diner fare, sandwiches, breakfast fare, etc and then the Korean menu! The Korean menu is a bit smaller, but still plenty of authentic options! Noodle dishes, bento boxes, fried rice, Bibimbap, Japchae, Bulgogi!My partner LOVES The Kitchen Sink omelette! It’s really the the whole kitchen sink too so make sure your appetite can match!I usually stick to the Korean menu. I’ve had the Jopchae, Bibimbap, Bulgogi, Mandu…it’s all absolutely delicious!! Oh! And the cucumber kimchi! If you have never tried it, this is the place to try cucumber kimchi!!It’s become one of my favorite places not only because of the mouth watering food, the super reasonable prices, but for the people. The staff are always so friendly when we are there and they will ask you how you are and mean it.If you like the place and the food, come back. They will remember you.I didn’t think she would remember me or the small exchanges when I’m there, but the photo of the little brown paper bag of kimchi told me otherwise. Truly are nice people that care for people.

Perhaps the woman who waited on us was the owner, Bell? At any rate, we ordered Korean food ( and she said she was Korean). Her extreme rudeness was unexpected, especially in view of the fact that we are an American elder and 2 Asian seniors, used to the Asian custom of treating elders with respect and civility. Her demeanor was most unpleasant as she actually issued orders to us in a very rude and authoritarian manner. At the end, she refused to take payment at our table, instructing us that we must bring payment to the cash register. Then she changed her mind and told us that she would take it at the table this time (perhaps she saw the overgenerous tip my friend gave her), but that next time, we must bring payment to the register. She need have no fear of "next time" from me. In addition, there was a person in the back of the eating area, concealed behind a screen, who was coughing and clearing phlegm from his throat while we were eating, raising concern about contagion. The Korean food was adequate but I would caution anyone to avoid this place at all cost!

Great place for food anytime of the day. The staff are friendly and the food is always served quickly. Oddly never very busy for the food they serve. It's also not very expensive at all so a great place to get food on a budget.

My son has been bragging about this place for some time. They did not disappoint! Picture below is of the spicy chicken. I went with the medium, just enough kick!

Fantastic, the hostess explained/described my meal, for which I was unfamiliar. Delicious, I work with a Korean/American and they said it was authentic when I brought it to lunch the next day. Very friendly, fair priced and fantastic meal.

Love this local family owned dinner that serves both Korean and American food. A golden townie gem.The Bibimbap is very good and what I order whenever I have lunch here. Food and service has always been consistent over the years.

This Diner became my favorite, a Korean/American food, I go there only for the spicy Ramen they have, is really really really ?????in all senses, my wife love their burgers and fries, and my daughter love their pancakes, they could improve their coffee but not a deal killer, this spot is hot. The service itself is great, insane clean.

American diner food and Korean dishes, both are excellent. Family owned, great service. The dining room was remodeled during the pandemic, it's not fancy but it's very clean and nice.If you want to try Korean food and don't know what to get, I recommend Bibimbop. It's their most popular dish and it's not scary to American tastes.

The best ever, always! Love their bibimbap and bulkogi. Can't try anything else bc we love this so much. Their homemade kimchi is delicious as well. They're very careful with distancing, masks, etc. I appreciate that very much too. Have to try this jewel.

This classic Ann Arbor Diner has the best authentic Korean food you could want! It also does all American classics. The spicy pork is awesome! Definitely check it out
