The best real Korean restauant so far in the west coast area. All the side dishes are the real genuine taste and so good! I bet Korean travelers would love and appreciate this place!!
I really wanted to like this place based on the menu offerings, but it was WAAAAAAAY TOO SALTY. The side dishes were fine, the seafood pancake was fine, the bibimbap was ok, but both soups were soooo salty that I could not finish the broth. The cabbage kalbi soup as a lunch menu item had barely any veggies/meat, and the broth was just way too salty. Normally, I love broth and I would drink everything (and not eat any rice) but here, I could only take a few spoonfuls and I had to eat the rice to even out the saltiness. To give some credit, the seafood pancake was on the decent side compared to other places I've tried as it had a bit more seafood... but for $20 I wasn't blown away or anything. Again, I really wanted to like this place but we would probably not return. Friendly service but with only one server, we were never checked on during our meal (which is fine bc we didn't need anything).
This wasn't the best first impression we could've had. I had really high hopes coming here tonight. It's really clean inside and a really homey feel to it. There were sounds of a busy kitchen and the scent of sesame oil was all throughout.The lady running the register, taking orders and serving was very welcoming. This confused me a bit because the overall service was not very good.We were seated immediately, as the place was about half full of patrons. The food seemed to take a bit long to come out, but we figured they might've been shortstaffed tonight. When everything finally arrived, it came all at once, which was really nice.We ordered the pork neck stew, seafood noodle soup and a seafood pancake. I would return for the pancake alone. It was crispy and thick with seafood bits here and there. The char on it added an excellent, smoky flavor. The pork neck soup was on par with other nearby eateries. It was very good, but not really piping hot when it came to our table. The seafood soup was not all that good. We thought the broth was very light on flavor. I thought it was light, but tasty. It was my fiancée's order and she thought it was bland. The noodles were gummy and I pulled out some hunks of clumped noodles that were not palatable.Probably the worst part of our experience, and what earned them only 3 stars this night were the little missteps. First, they forgot my fiancée ordered a Coke. We had to remind them twice that we ordered a Coke. A Pepsi was delivered. Not really a big deal. We are not too particular on brand of cola. But then throughout the dinner, we could not get their attention to get more water. We were even asked twice if there's anything else we wanted and when we said, "water please," we were given a friendly nod and smile, but the waters never came. By the end of our visit, 2 tables of 5-6 people were seated around us. 2 more opportunites to serve us our waters but they never came. We just decided it was time to pay and go home.
Authentic, friendly, fresh, and very flavorful.
The food is good, but it is more on the expensive side. They were short-staffed and we had to wait until someone got around to clearing one of the tables. I don't care for anything spicy, so of the 6 side dishes they served with the meal, only one was not. Therefore, it cost 36.00 for short ribs, rice and one side dish. That's a little too expensive when I look at it in those terms.
Never been to a restaurant where they charge $2 for rice . Spicy pork isn’t that spicy . Expensive menu but small entree / portions
I will be recommending this to everybody I know. The showmanship and presentation of the food was amazing and the price isn't even that bad for the amount of food you get. It's so quiet and very polite. I will be definitely coming back in the future.
The Korean food here not as authentic as I like to be. All all super mild in spiciness and I can’t taste the wow factor. The kimchi is so mild and taste rather sweater than normal. The tofu kimchi soup probably the best and closer to the Korean taste. The broiled Crocker fish rather too oily, the seafood package is disappointing as the crust is rather too thick and bland. The bbq pork is overly done and is hard .. lacking of Vege and spicy bean paste is missing to enjoy this meal. Friendly service but not a worth a visit if you looking for authentic Korean food.
This place has such good Korean food. My partner and I came here a few weeks back and got bulgogi beef and Tteokbokki, and we’re looking forward to our next trip!
