Delicious Korean food at a great price. We came on a Monday at 6:30pm and it was pretty busy but we were seated within 5min.... Highly recommend the soontofu soup. Read more
It's my first time eating at this Korean restaurant and wanted to experience a change. So I ordered the pork gy?za for starters... and the Don katsu. I also ordered the bibimbap with mushrooms, vermicelli stew. The gy?za was good so full marks for that. TheDon katsu for one didn't have any seasoning and was bland which was masked by breading around it and the sweet sauce. A fewshredded cabbage was piled on the plate with a dollop of thousand island sauce which looked like a mini haystack followed by abowl of rice. The bibimbap mushroom stew was alright as it had chunky slices of beef, scallions, topoki, mushrooms, in a smallhot pot filled with the sweet soy soup based. Personally I found the beef to be ok as I had better and the soup base was likedrinking a pot of diluted soya molasses. The consolation were the side dishes which was nice but small and didn't have muchvariety. Usually there would be at least 6 side dishes in any Korean food establishment. Overall, a nice Korean restaurant andthe staff are friendly. but the meat for the Don katsu needs more work as it lacks if any seasoning. The bibimbap stew needs thesoup base to be slightly toned down so it is not so overpowering sweet. Read more
Taste is very subjective, here is my humbled opinion. I came here because the korean restaurant across the street was closed... that day. The side dishes are good so 1 star. I ordered bimbimbap, japchea, bugolgi beef stew. I've had bimbimbap at many placesand the beef have always been minced into matchstick size, here it's big slices, the beef itself did not taste fresh, has aweird taste to it, the rice tasted like it's been sitting out for 2-3days. The bulgogi beef stew was so sweet I thought I wassipping sugar water, it's like eating desert with meat. The japchea was spoiled, one bite and I can taste the sourness, the foulodour, the texture of the noodles was off too. Visually the noddles did not look right either. Food poisoning is a real thing!Service was cold and sterile. When I notified the waitress about the japchae, she gave me the side eyed glance and took the dishaway without saying anything. They did gave complimentary dumplings at the end of the meal, but it's too late. Read more
We love eating Korean Cuisine and this is one of those restaurants with authentic Korean taste! Our all time favorite is the... Korean Fried Chicken and the spicy seafood tofu stew. They taste sooo good! Chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside. Thespicy seafood tofu stew is great esp. during winter! Beef Japchae was a bit salty but good when eat with rice. Staffs arecourteous and nice. The ambiance is soooo korean! I love it! Read more
Staff were very kind and served food quickly despite being short staffed. The food was good but it felt like it was missing... something. Seafood tofu was definitely missing something, their fried chicken was good but it was too sticky and hard on yourteeth. The sauce was really good though. Read more
I usually don?t write reviews but wanted to share how special this restaurant is :) Their food is, of course, very delicious but... I?ve especially appreciated being able to enjoy the tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) options here with my friends who arevegetarian or cannot eat meat on some days for religious reasons. What stood out yesterday was one of the staff members was sokind when they missed an item in my order by immediately apologizing and including some extra dumplings/fried shrimp sidedishes, treats, and drinks.The staff member even went as far as writing an apology note <3 !! Usually they always get my orderright and I?m sure it?s been difficult during the pandemic for businesses so to everyone, please have some empathy for our localbusinesses during this tumultuous pandemic!!
