I followed by instinct though and opened up the beige door next to the restaurant and boom! That was the entrance lol. It is a very small restaurant and does seem like it's more meant for take out but they do have high chairs and it is rather cozy to eat a meal there. I had the naengmyeon which tasted really refreshing and spicy and my partner had the galbitang which he recommends! Definitely come check it out.

Format is typical, order by ipad and they bring the dishes out. For broths, he got tomato and I got the original, reccomended by the waitress. You can control the heat settings, that was cool. Service was very fast, not many tables and we came on a friday afternoon. Waitress was very attentive, frequently checked in on us if we needed anything and refilled our broths often. Would come again if we're ever in town!

The indoor space struck the perfect balance, warm, intimate, and private, but never stuffy or overly formal. You could relax and actually enjoy the people around you. The food was a highlight! beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. And the staff was genuinely attentive without ever hovering. Everything flowed effortlessly from start to finish, which let all of us simply be present for the moment that mattered. What stood out most was how personal it all felt. This wasn't a place going through the motions, you could feel the thought behind every detail, from the setup to the warm hospitality. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming spot to host a gathering, I can't recommend this cafe enough. Beautiful food, and a team that treats your special day like it matters to them too. We'll be back! PS: we had the Aromatic Crimson Chicken with rice and veggies and it was amazing!

She was also so sweet to write down everything on a sticky note that had anything I'm allergic to which is always appreciated. We did both Kpot and BBQ and glad we got to do both. I really enjoy the buffet/all you can eat style since you're in total control of how much or how little you choose, especially when trying something new. I did try a lot of new things while here and I think it's the perfect way to do it! I made a ramen bowl and also grilled a lot of different meats - our favorite was the spicy pork belly! We got up for seconds, thirds, and fourths bc it was so good!! There is also a section of creating your own sauce which was fun too! You could definitely make a variety of different sauce creations, maybe some sweet, some spicy, some more or less flavorful, there are no limits! They also had a guide above the sauce line to help you follow the ingredients if you're looking for some inspiration. I would definitely come back again! I wish they had more dessert options.

I ordered the soondubu with beef which arrived within the next 5 minutes or so. It came bubbling and steaming hot and with a bowl of semi-warm fluffy white rice. There was a generous amount of soft tofu but the beef was scant. The flavors overall were decent and satisfied my hot-soup cravings on this cold rainy afternoon. I also particularly enjoyed the curry potato banchan that had a hint of sweetness to the savory flavors, but the others (boiled broccoli, bean sprouts, fish cakes) were just ok.

Brooks' BBQ chicken is some of the best I've ever had. It tastes very much like "Cornell chicken",…read morewhich has a vinegar based marinade & is very popular in the Ithaca/Lansing, NY area. I stop here whenever I'm in upstate NY to pick up bottles of this scrumptious sauce to bring home. This trip, I was delighted to find they had deep-sixed the "meh" buffet & now offered a full menu, including appetizers & desserts. A half chicken dinner ($19) includes their salad bar, a loaf of their homemade bread & one side. If you're not into chicken, which is what they're known for, they also offer ribs, brisket & other charbroiled meats. The salad bar had a good selection & everything tasted fresh & crisp. Their bread loaf is soft, white & served warm with whipped butter. We also ordered an appetizer of hush puppies, which were delicious with the whipped cinnamon butter that came with them. I chose baked beans for my side dish. Tasty & a good complement to the chicken. The chicken... perfectly charred, smoky, tender... wow!!! So delicious. Now for the weird part... we had leftovers & asked for take away containers. Our server brought us each a plastic box for the chicken. I asked for a small covered cup to take the rest of the beans & was told they don't give those out in the dining room. That was part of the meal I was paying for, so I asked her to please ask management if I could have a container. She came back with one but said, "We made an exception this time, but don't let it happen again." What?!? If it hadn't been for this, I would have rated it 5 stars.
