What People Say

"Absolutely love this place. The crispy chicken is delicious and full of flavor."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious food, friendly staff, and vibrant atmosphere, making it a popular spot.

"Great spot! The Cheese Tteokbokki is a must—the cheese was surprisingly tastier than back in Korea. Paired perfectly with the Popcorn Chicken and Asahi. Sam was super friendly with the menu and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!"

"Went on a busy Saturday night. Food came out fairly fast. Wait staff were amazing and made the visit."

"Great spot for a late night dinner! Delicious korean food 🤩 I recommend the soy beef soup. (I don't recommend any mocktails though, 95% ice)"

"The food and customer service are good. We waited about 20 minutes since it was quite crowded. However, the prices are a bit expensive, and there’s an additional 2.5% card surcharge, which is disappointing."
