In the beginning of this business I use to love this place and went there every week. After while the store played with pricing and jack up the price high suddenly. And then lower price a bit but portion of the food was so little that the food barely covers the container bottom. I stop going there every week. Recently, I purchased 꽈리고추는 and it was stale. Next day I went back and exchange to 꽈리/멸치볶음 and end up paying $1 more. I came home and the food was still not fresh. I told friends and family to stop going to this place because one day someone is going to get sick from eating food from this place.
I buy Kimchee here almost every month or 3weeks. When it first opened it was a great addition to the business and neighborhood. But lately the quality of the food and portion has declined steadly. I understand businesses need to make changed due to Covid-19 and that it's a struggle on both sides. But somehow this feels more like taking advantage of rising inflation and the situation at hand. So much of their portions have decreased yet prices continuously rise week after week. They used to put the Kimchee in containers now I have to just take it out in a plastic bag. Food doesn't feel that fresh anymore as they have decreased how many time they prepare the food due to costs. Also this is one of those places that practice if you pay in cash there is no tax but if you pay with a card they put tax on :( Really sad to see this happen again and again with Korean businesses.
There is so much variety of Korean side dishes. We tried a little bit of everything. Everyone is very nice. Things were labeled so I knew what it was buying. The prices are reasonable for the side dishes. We went in the morning so everything was fresh. We bought enough to last two people for three meals. Parking in the area was relatively easy in the morning.

Amazing selection of Korean soup, banchan and kimchi. Ready to eat food is delicious including kimbap and mochi
It's my go to when I crave home cooking without the restaurant pressure. Get your lunch meals and daily special soups quick before they run out. The place is packed with variety of koream recipes at an affordable price with many other meal options to offer (including large serving of make at home stew sets). Ask for the $10 chicken katsu-- comes in a decent portion (easily a 2-3 serving size) and their special jalapeno dip that come along is the cherry on top.
Good korean catering food
I think the quality might be different based on the food you buy but the blood sausage soup 순대국 I got was amazing. The sausage didn’t crumble apart and it got a good chewy texture but not hard. The soup is rich will more ingredients inside. Well balanced. And it was also cheap!
Their foods are great and have good amount of variety of things but... it is really hard to place an order for trays and if I buy too many things the staff becomes really mean.
