If you're a first time I recommend getting their traditional seollongtang (beef bone broth) which you get to gradually salt to your preference. It comes with noodles, a warm bowl of purple rice, and of course the refillable kimchi. I'm also excited to see that their menu has expanded to include more traditional Korean soups like the naengmyeon aka the cold noodles (pictured in this review). Such a refreshing and slightly tangy dish to have on a hot summer day.

Not to mentioned, our server was amazing and patient with us since it was my first time. Although, she kinda knew us from the church she still treated us with respect like any other customer without any favoritism or whatesoever. She told me full details of the menu to which is usually ordered or popular at the moment, since I couldn't decide myself. I loved everything she recommended and can't wait to go back again. I specially loved the kalbi and pork tofu combo . We did get the stone bibimpap as well which was amazing !! And the seafood pancake . I think we ended up getting so much food that we ended up just sharing whole just enjoying each others company. My order: ( in the photo) Pork Tofu Soup 돼지고기 순두부 with kalbi combo! And Seafood Pancake 해물파전 The others ordered the half and half chicken and hot Hot-Stone Bi-Bim-Bap 나물돌솥비빔밥 . The side dishes was the best too and I love the kimchi specially. Can't wait to try other dish next time.

However, I had a horrible experience with service in May. It was by far the WORST service I've ever received, even based Asian restaurant standards (iykyk). I've always had older servers, usually ladies but on occasion on gentleman. This time, it was a young girl. It was my first time seeing her there. She had no facial expression to start. And after she repeated our orders, it was incorrect so I correct her. She said "I know", and repeated the wrong order again. When I clarified by listing the correct order, she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Isn't it a server's job to take order, and make sure it's correct? I did not take away from the tips because there are other servers who helped bring our food and refill the banchans, but this encounter made me not want to go back for a while, despite how much I like the food. Management - please train your staff about customer service, especially the new hires.

However, this location completely changed my mind--it was absolutely delicious! Traditional Blood Sausage (Tojong Soondae):It was incredibly savory and rich, exactly how I like it. They were running a bit low on the traditional ones, so the staff kindly mixed in some sticky rice sausages (Ch찹쌀 Soondae) and pork ears. Even the sticky rice version was surprisingly chewy and tasty! Spicy Soondae Soup (Spicy Sausage Soup):The broth was perfectly spicy, clean, and deeply comforting. It's the ultimate hangover cure! There was zero gamey smell, just pure, hearty flavor. The ambiance is that of a casual, no-frills, traditional Korean eatery. On top of the great food, the service was wonderfully friendly and accommodating. If you're craving authentic, high-quality Korean blood sausage and soup in the US, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back!

Been here twice now. First time we tried just the whole…read morefried chicken. Second time we tried 1/2 and 1/2, fried and yangnyum. Fried chicken was great. Super crispy and crunchy but not a ton of meat a more breading. It felt small for a half a chicken or even a whole chicken. Not sure what size chicken they use for "whole" chicken. Yangnyum was good but the chicken was not coated too well. Top ones barely had any sauce and bottom ones were drenched in sauce. I wish they would toss it in sauce a little more evenly. I do also wish they would include the 1 side radish with each order as for Korean fried chicken place, radishes come with chicken as a standard item. Like ketchup for fries. The online ordering was easy and effortless and was done a few minutes earlier than promised which was great. The employee was nice and I was able to pick up my order right away. Overall, I do like this place and will return but wish they could improve on some stuff like making sure sauce is evenly coated on all sauce based chicken.

Two things to consider tho: it's boneless and the sauce comes on the side. The good: the boneless is SO JUICY (don't think Buffalo wild wing boneless!) The fries were GOOOD fries. Sweet potato fries were too healthy tasting. The staff were great!! They were friendly and thorough. The meh: -Pickled radish is NOT free. -Not a lot of seating (2 tables of 4 and 5-6 single seats a little too close together). This place is definitely more of a take out restaurant. Would go again!

We were also misled in the fact that we thought we could get fried chicken here only to find out they don't have it on their menu anymore. This was during a Friday evening around 6pm, and my friend and I got seated immediately since the restaurant was empty. You've got a lot of tables inside that are relatively clean and seat mostly groups of 4 or so. News in Korean is playing on a TV nearby, and the interior just feels calming with the uniform wooden floors and tables. Menu is limited here though most of it is for their traditional hangover soups. My friend and I wanted some meat dishes so we got both their spicy pork and beef bulgogi on sizzling grills. Both meats came sizzling when brought to our table, though they weren't piping hot from what I remember. Spicy pork was hard to chew at times, and my friend had to spit out one piece because it was too hard. It wasn't too spicy though I think it would have benefited from more spice since the flavor wasn't too strong. The beef bulgogi was both of our favorites, though the color wasn't too appealing and I felt there was a ton of liquid, as if the beef was plated before all the water evaporated from the pan. Service was top-notch for both of us, though. Staff were attentive in answering our questions, grabbing our utensils and getting us water when we asked. I felt this was a one-off visit because we didn't get the dishes this place is more well-known for, so I'll come back again to have their hangover soups instead.

They seated us quickly. The food is simple: soup or friend chicken! To which the answer is, of…read morecourse, both! Chicken: We got a half/half order of chicken. I'm.. weak, the spicy one was too spicy for me and next time I'll avoid it. Still, all the chicken was juicy and crispy and excellent. My friends got the green onion chicken-- delicious and I think they shred an entire HMart bundle of scallions onto the single dish. Soup: We got the brisket soup. I had too much chicken and side dishes (which they regularly replenished!) to really have much of it, but what I had was clear and tasty. I'm not really in this area much, but I'd recommend it to others! The location is a little odd and tucked away in a closed plaza, but plenty of parking and the food is good and the staff is quick.

It had a nice crunch and the filling was plentiful. If you have leftover, they do charge for boxes.
