Unfortunately, that was one of the disappointing parts of our experience here. On a slow night with only two other tables occupied, it took more than 25 minutes after ordering for the banchan to be served. When we asked for refills on two items, the staff seemed hesitant to help, which made us feel uncomfortable asking. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall dining experience felt unwelcoming and did not match the level of hospitality I usually expect from a Korean restaurant.

A Dumpling Find Worth Knowing About…read more The veggie king-sized dumpling was the standout of the meal--fantastically handmade and delicious. The dough-to-filling ratio was spot-on, and the filling had a flavor that immediately reminded me of dumplings I've had in Korea. You can really appreciate the craftsmanship, and I can see why others compliment the chef's 20 years of dumpling-making experience. What an awesome find and worthy of 5 stars! Since dumplings are clearly the specialty, I also ordered the kimchi pork dumplings, but unfortunately they never made it to our table. Our waitress was very nice but seemed extremely flustered, which was surprising given that there were only two other tables occupied on a Friday evening. They kindly removed the dumplings from the bill. We also tried the soft tofu and spicy pork rib combo. We ordered the pork soft tofu, but seafood tofu arrived instead. Rather than make an issue of it, we decided to just eat it. Unfortunately, the soup was watered down and lacked much flavor. The seafood tasted previously frozen and was forgettable, while the shrimp had an older taste that made me avoid it after the first bite. The spicy pork ribs were cooked reasonably well, but the heavy sauce wasn't to my liking and is something I would probably skip next time. Overall, the dumplings are what make this place worth knowing about. I'd definitely come back for a to-go order of the handmade dumplings, but for now, that's probably how I'd enjoy them. With some improvement in the service and consistency of the other dishes, I could see myself dining in again in the far future.

Food 10/5: I was truly amazed by this place. My family finally convinced me to try this spot and…read moredefinitely worth it. I would say this is the most authentic Korean food i've ever tried, even better than some restaurants in korea. The food is fresh and full of flavor, you can get by eating the sides alone. The bossam was the highlight of our meal, the pork was soft, tender and flavorful. I've never been a big fan of cold noodles but the slight sour taste makes you want more of it. service 5/5: our server was extremely kind. She made sure we were well taken care of. Food service was quick. No complaints!

It was both our first time visiting this Korean restaurant, and we enjoyed the food on a weekend…read moreevening. Located in Rowland Heights Plaza, this is one of several eateries sharing a relatively small parking lot. The place is a little small, and we waited about ten minutes outside until a table opened; we looked at the menu plastered on the window in the meantime. We got the spicy cold buckwheat noodles ($16.99) and cabbage gamja-tang (spicy pork neck bone stew with potatoes) ($18.99). Both orders were generously portioned. They provided banchan (kimchi, pickled cucumbers, fish cakes, and white seaweed salad) at the same time as the gamja-tang. The spicy cold buckwheat noodles tasted really refreshing with a great blend of savory and sweet spice. The server cut my buckwheat noodles so that they could be easier to eat since they're long. Mustard and vinegar were also provided. Cucumbers were just the right vegetable to have with this dish. I tried a little bit of the gamja-tang, and it came with a lot of hearty pork. However, there were a lot of bones since the meat comes from pork neck. Overall, this is a solid Korean restaurant, and I'd want to visit again. They have lunch specials on the weekdays that allow you to order a combination of items. Service was also good as our server checked in on us a few times, and we were able to get more banchan. I didn't expect the restaurant to be busy when we visited, so I'll remember that there can be a wait for next time.

The banchan was a highlight, kimchi, cucumber, seaweed, beansprouts, potatoes, and a little pancake, all fresh and refreshing. There's a big menu with a large selection of tofu soups, and combos come with a soup plus an entree, for example the #1 bibimbap combo comes with beef plus your choice of tofu soup. Soup came with egg like pretty much every tofu house, pretty standard, and you can pick your spice level. Nothing super crazy here, but it's solid and comforting enough to keep me coming back for years at this point.

Unacceptable Service I am completely done with this…read morerestaurant. Over our last five visits, we've had the exact same middle-aged female server, and her attitude is consistently awful. She clearly hates her job and lacks even the most basic communication skills. No Manners: She barely speaks, rolls her eyes or sighs heavily when asked for simple things like water, and practically shoves plates onto the table. Hostile Vibe: She radiates misery and makes you feel like an absolute burden just for ordering a meal. If you are this miserable in customer service, find another industry. We won't be returning until management addresses who is representing their business. 최악의 서비스 이 식당은 이제 절대 안 갑니다. 최근 5번의 방문 내내 같은 중년 여성 서버가 담당했는데, 태도가 늘 한결같이 최악이었습니다. 자기 일을 끔찍하게 싫어하는 게 뻔히 보이고, 기본적인 소통 능력조차 없습니다. 형편없는 매너: 말도 거의 안 섞고, 물 같은 기본 세팅을 부탁하면 대놓고 한숨을 쉬며 눈치를 줍니다. 음식도 거의 던지듯 서빙합니다. 불쾌한 분위기: 온몸으로 짜증을 뿜어내서, 내 돈 내고 밥을 먹는 것조차 엄청난 민폐처럼 느껴지게 만듭니다. 서비스직이 그렇게 적성에 안 맞으면 제발 다른 일을 알아보세요. 매니저가 이 직원에 대해 조치를 취하기 전까지는 다신 안 갑니다.

I haven't been here in so long, I missed it! I had some friends come by so I recommended this as…read morethey give you huge portions to share. We ordered the A set, which is the basic set of just the rice cakes, boiled eggs and veggies. WARNING: When it's time to choose the spice levels, CHOOSE MILD. I nearly forgot how strong their spice levels are, but luckily I remembered in time and we switched to mild. Even at mild, it sent my friend to the bathroom and we didn't see them for 10 minutes. (Last visit we got medium and my other friend had the same incident). I'd also like to point out that I usually have a pretty good spice tolerance, but even I needed a lot of drinks for this. That being said, it's VERY enjoyable. It's not a warning to stay away, just a warning that this place MAY humble you lol. Our server was very nice and helped explain the different things on the menu (Yupdduk vs Yup Oh) since they had the same descriptions. Also helped us with water refills when they realized we were dying. It's also pretty quiet in here so it's a great place to share food and chat with friends. Highly recommend bringing spicy loving friends here or just someone you don't like and would like to humble (Have not done this yet, but maybe once day).

We customized it by adding rice cakes, sausage, ramen, and mozzarella cheese, which made the texture amazing. The fried chicken was absolutely spectacular--perfectly crispy and delicious. We also tried the spam rice, and the addition of the mayo made it really good and helped balance out some of that intense heat from the main dish. If you love a serious spice challenge, this is the spot!

First time I've ever had this dish. Pleasantly surprised…read more Got the spicy miso and the Champion, also the Yuzu tea. Everything was great. Tea wasn't overly sweetened, and quite pleasant and refreshing. The tea didn't have the bitter yuzu aftertaste that some people don't like. The server turned out to be one of the managers and he was great! Helped us decided and didn't try to upsell us towards anything crazy. I don't forget the rice at the end. Reminds me of a creole pan roast. Location was clean and simple. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant has been sitting in my bookmarks for awhile, so had to finally give them a try…read more They serve both regular soup ramen and mazesoba. However, I would highly recommend their mazesoba as it is one of few spots that serves such a niche dish. Mazesoba is a dry ramen dish that incorporates garnishes along with meats and sauces topped with a runny soft boiled egg. The waitress was absolutely amazing with her friendliness and patience with my friends and I. The waitress recommended their Chanpion and Saikoro Mazesobas. I opted for the Champion and it sure was absolutely mindblowing with its texture and flavor. This spot will definitely be somewhere I will be returning to. Recommend! Note: There is a odd smell within the restaurant, but beyond that, this spot is solid.
