Never again. Placed at order for pick up at 6:45, which was supposed to be ready at 7:25. I'm still…read morestanding here waiting at 8:25. I've now been here over an hour and continue to wait. There's only 3 tables with people at them, so maybe 15% capacity. Not even remotely busy. Maybe the foods incredible, but the service and timeliness is so poor is doesn't matter. It might have been quicker if I just ordered here. But if I had ordered here I would have walked out a long time ago. The only reason I'm still here is because I've already been charged. Update: I finally got the order ~8:30. Somehow the food was actually more disappointing than the service. The Bulgogi Ramen okay, but the Tonkatsu Ramen was questionable, in particular the meat was pretty much dry shoe leather, even in the broth. The "house salad" was literally just a handful of lettuce, and the "sushi sampler" was three sad pieces of sashimi just tossed into a to-go box. All in all, super disappointed, maybe it's much better in the restaurant itself. But this experience was so poor I will not be giving them a second chance. And I would warn anyone trying to go in with a reasonable expectation for disappointment.

They're a build-your-own style of restaurant, kinda like a Chipotle, CAVA or Qdoba restaurant. Since it was my first time trying their menu, it took me a bit of time to figure out what I wanted. The staff were really patient and offered some recommendations. It was a really great dining experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We were seated immediately and our waters came promptly. We needed a bit of time to look over the menu and didn't feel rushed at all. We ordered the chicken tan tan dumplings, which came out quickly and were fabulous. I ordered a paitan ramen with pork belly and my husband got the spicy tan tan with a mix of ground beef and pork. I thought the pork belly was hard to eat the way it was served, but I also think it was a standard way to serve it so it was a me problem. The spicy tan tan is ONLY spicy because of the meat and our server said it was probably a 2/5 on spice, but you can spice up the broth more if you want. Overall, great experience. Clean location with lots of parking, good food with a variety on the menu, and great service. We'll be back!

I would like to think that I would've enjoyed it more had I done hibachi or gotten their specialty rolls. I ordered over the phone for pickup as I couldn't find an online option. This was an easy process, and the food was ready for the time I scheduled. The staff were very friendly. I got the pork katsu bento box, which comes with a decent number of pork katsu pieces, steamed white rice, four California roll pieces, Nami tempura, and house salad. I normally love bento boxes, but this one was probably my least favourite I've had. It was sufficient for food (I had leftovers), but none of the items stood out, and some were worse than others. The pork katsu itself was fine, but the sauce tasted very artificially sweet. It had a strange taste. The California roll lacked flavour. The Nami tempura was interesting. I couldn't tell what was inside. Maybe vegetables? I'm not sure. The sauce for that one also tasted strange, but the tempura had a decent taste. The house salad had a very weird-tasting sauce too, and the vegetables were a pain to eat just because they were so bland.

Even with some menu items i.e. the chicken tangsuyuk or soups have been weird at times and ive had to say im sorry i dont think I can eat it. They were kind enough to replace the soup with another soup but it makes me wonder why the consistency or flavor changes. The side dishes are the star of the meal for me. I love their sweet soy potatoes always hits the spot for me. Their kimchi is solid and their rotation of other side dishes is always a nice surprise. The lady makes her rounds from time to time and I believe the sound is there too they're both very down to earth and nice people. I will say two of my all time fav dishes are their galbitang and their dolsot bibimbap can't go wrong if I stick with either of those dishes. I was slightly confused the very first time I tried them in late 2024 and felt like I was walking into a sushi bar, but glad they make korean dishes. The service is pretty good, some of them are very polite and helpful sometimes it can get busy and it's hard to get the waiters attention. The feel is a sushi restaurant with the counter in front where they make rolls not too contemporary but not very old either. Go for the service and try some korean dishes a little more expensive than I would like as the dishes are not consistent and some of the dishes are definitely a fusion or a slight twist on the original flavor or tradition taste. I haven't tried the sushi so I can't speak on that but I have seen quite a few customers order it.

I wasn't very hungry, but I very easily and quickly finished it all. It was about $17 total, which I thought was pricey for the small portion size and quality.
