    Great hidden place with a very nice family-owned vibe in Japantown. Came here pretty late at night near their closing time with a large group, but we still got amazing service despite how late it was. Prices are expected from Korean places, but serving is nice and they also have great banchan. Spicy level was nice for the tofu soup as well!

    Food: - beef tofu soup: pretty good, just like any other tofu soup Service: - pretty good the waitress was very kind and sweet, but it took a bit longer to get her attention if I needed something (ex. Napkins/check) since she was the only one working as a waitress at the time Ambiance: - not bad, nothing much to say about it Price: - it's actually pretty pricey for what it is in my opinion, and when I looked at yelp reviews for this place, it said that the price was a lot cheaper (you can make your own judgement, it was $21 for this meal total)

    Great Seafood bibimbamp! Came in a sizzling hot stone bowl that helped cook the rice in a good crunchy way. Great combination of seafood, rice, vegetables, and egg! Also came with the ban chan appetizers provided and the tofu skins were good Vibes are good for lunch or dinner with friends!

    I was craving some Korean food for lunch and decided to them out. This is their lunch special for Jeff bento box $16.95. The portions were decent and the food was good. Idk if it was the cold weather but my food wasn't that hot unfortunately. I wish they had more side dishes for their lunch menu. I was there around 12 so not busy at all. Only one person working the front. Enjoyed it regardless!
