Rachel RebeccaAugust 16, 2017Service was friendly and helpful. Fish was crispy yet tender. Bean sprout soup was flavourful and delicious. Side dishes were tasty and nicely arranged as well. peppers were spicy but delicious.
Connie ChiuJune 2, 2019Love this small homey spot. The galbi jjim, teok gok (rice cake soup), and their signature stew. The bon chon is amazing. Kimchee pancake is tasty and super hefty. Left feeling stuffed!
Katherine M.April 1, 2016My friend Maria says this is super legit Korean food. Get there early (10:30-11am). She recommends the galbi jjim (braised short rib) and/or the fish (godeungeo jorim).- Serious EatsSeptember 12, 2014At this restaurant specializing in all types of galbijjim, braised mackerel matches the excellent quality of traditional beef short ribs.
Akiko IOctober 28, 2013Galbi jjim: braised short rib was sweet and tender. $28. Good banchan and a bowl of rice come with it. It's a bit small to share with 2 adults. Good dish.
Namona BtNovember 24, 2014I believe this would be the most delish Korean food I've ever had...Everything was good especially the beef ribs ! 5stars!
- Jane PApril 11, 2012Try the seafood pancake, braised short ribs, and grilled mackeral. Valet parking seems to start at 5 so get there before to avoid a wait.
The spicy seafood tofu soup is amazing. Generally a great place to go for soups!
Kevin TOctober 21, 2017The galbijjim is really good, but quite expensive! I'd say it's worth trying once. The bibimbap was better value, and pretty tasty.
Ana VitikNovember 14, 2015we had to wait a little bit, but it was worth it. tasty, simple food, small menu.
Love MeOctober 4, 2013Small and very cozy Korean restaurant. Food is really good. Almost tastes home made.
- Michael SchoellhammerJune 7, 2012The Galbi Jjim is super delicious. I wish I had a straw to drink the broth.
Lucky PeachAugust 5, 2016Get the galbi tang (short-rib soup). The meat is cooked perfectly, then cut off the bones into bite-size pieces right at your table. Eat the beefy broth spooned over bites of multigrain purple rice. Read more
Katya VitkovskayaSeptember 19, 2011Spicy octopus (stone pot) bibmbam is really good and the kimchi is amazing. Busy place.
Gookbap time! Galbijeem (braised short ribs)!! Fish, all the soups, the banchans!! I live this place
Great grilled mackerel, seafood tofu soup, bean paste soup, pork soup (#1 on menu)
Galbi jjeem, nakjee bibimbap, godeung-uh jorim hit the spot!
Ami AMarch 31, 2015Love the braised beef and mackerel dishes...yum! Although ambience took a ding when the facilities man dragged a trash can through the front door 👀

"The food is great here—rolls, rice cake, soup, all of it. The only problem here is the service. The waiters and waitresses take as much time as they want getting to your table when you need help."

"Had their military stew for the 1st time, delicious! Perfect food for the cold days, especially with some soju to warm the stomach! Great service, all the waitresses were all smiles and friendly."
