    The Yookgejang Kalguksoo will hit the spot in any occasion! Fresh noodles cut to order in a spicy beef broth with brisket, scallions, bean sprouts, whisked egg, and rice cakes.

    The fried beef & pork mandu are a must order, fried to a nice crispiness, and only $4 during happy hour!

    Happy hour includes dumplings and top shelf rail drinks. When I die, bury me in their basement.

    Their dumplings are delicious, especially their pan fried shrimp ones. They also have a decent cocktail menu including some sweeter soju cocktails.

    Sooooo good but if you don't love spicy this is not your restaurant. A great place to order "to share" - get a soup, an entree, shared=lots of different tastes.

    Check out happy hour everyday 4pm to 7pm. $4 Sojutinis, $4 Liquor drinks, $4 beers and $3 mandu. My fave to eat is veg bibim bap and duk bok gi. The pickles are amazing!

    If possible, avoid being seated in their upstairs section. The acoustics are such that all conversations reverberate and it becomes very difficult to have a conversation even between even two people.

    Not your typical Korean... All the same dishes but somehow with a slight bent toward Western flavours - Great!
