    This is one of the best Korean restaurants in the area. I highly recommend it when you want to celebrate a special occasion or spend meaningful time with people you love. The yukhoe caviar, served on crispy nurungji, is especially impressive. One bite and you get the kind of experience that feels almost like dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The quality of the meat is also exceptional. This is the place I would take my loved ones when I want to treat them to something special. It is definitely on the expensive side, but in my opinion, it's worth every penny. Oh, and don't forget to save room for dessert! Their cakes are truly top-notch--some of the best you can find in Michigan, and not something you come across easily.

    Initial place setting.

    The Emperor's Chest was phenomenal! All the sides were delicious. Every bite was a delight! Josh, our server knew the lore behind every dish and made excellent recommendations. The restaurant was immaculate and peaceful. We will return!!

    This was an interesting experience, and the food was delightful…read more We ordered takeout through their online website, and it was a pretty seamless experience. I tried one of each flavor of chicken for the cupbap, and it was tasty and fresh. Though as a self proclaimed spice wimp, the sweet and spicy was just a bit beyond my tolerance. Still, I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it by picking what flavors I wanted. The beef bulgogi kimbap was another winner that tasted fresh and delightful, and while the rice cake kkochi had a very lovely chewy texture, the spice level was just a bit much for me. Oddly enough, the first time I ordered, they messed up my cupbap. Extra annoying considering I had ordered take out and only noticed something was wrong once I was safetly settled back at my desk (I 100% could have checked before I left the restaurant so that bit's on me). I immediately called the restaurant to explain what had gone wrong, and they were incredibly apologetic and wanted to make it right for me immediately. They offered to refund me or make me something fresh. I opted for the latter. Honestly, they went above and beyond to make things right for me, and mistakes happen, so to see a business so plainly own their mistake and make up for it is always a plus in my book. I'll be back. That cupbap made my stomach happy.

The Tteokbokki was in a sweet spicy sauce with glass noddle, egg, some fish cake. The bulgolgi wasn't too sweat, tender, well marinated. It contained some cabbage too which was good. Service was friendly. They have kiosks at every table. Clean place. About 20 min to cook the food. About $40 for the items above.

    TLDR: This restaurant serves large, flavorful portions of food and stays true to authentic Korean…read morecuisine. The service was fine, and the place itself looked inviting. However, I firmly believe the restaurant gave me food poisoning, either from the oysters in the radish salad or the lettuce leaves that were a little expired. For my dinner, I ordered bossam (pork wraps). The banchan (side dishes) the meal came with included radish kimchi, napa cabbage kimchi, potato salad, and seaweed salad, which were all delicious. The bossam itself came with a set of red leaf lettuce, mussangchae (radish salad), ssamjang (soybean dipping sauce), raw garlic and jalapeno, and a saeujeot (salted shrimp) mixture. Notably, some portions of the lettuce leaf did seem past their prime and were soggy or mush. All in all, I enjoyed the entire meal, especially the mussanchae which unusually had oysters in it. What I did not enjoy was the entire week I spent on the toilet after I ate the meal. Had I not been food poisoned, this restaurant would easily have been a 5/5. Because of this and despite the health concerns, I am willing to give the restaurant another shot. The other food options seem very enjoyable. Hopefully the poisoning was a once-in-a-million freak accident.

    Wow! I've been here a few times now and everything is always so fresh, hot, and flavorful…read more Consistently! My go to is the seafood ramen w chili oil (I'd recommend adding chili oil to their broths), as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. An entree w a warm sake hits the spot perfectly! The service is stellar and quick and the hours are perfect for lunch or dinner. I suggest getting there fast as you definitely won't be the only one.

    I had high expectations, sadly the flavors (& spice) were lacking. I was super bummed. The service…read morewas good but...we definitely need extra chili oil and black pepper to get flavor in our soups. We went right at 5pm when it opened and all of us felt their dishes were pretty bland. My sister who doesn't like spicy or super flavorful foods liked her shrimp tempura udon though. Honestly, I was expecting more. I wish I would've loved it but didn't. I got the Tonkotsu with spice (didn't taste spicy at all). My hubby liked his Ton-Ton pork ramen. My friend got the Spicy Champon and it was NOT spicy at all. Not sure I'd recommend as our experience was lacking overall. At least they were great about refilling our waters and lots of free parking. I enjoyed the fresh small salad that came with our Ramen, but charging extra for the chili oil was a disappointment as my ramen really needed something extra. Better luck next time.

    Found this spot in novi while doing a quick yelp search. I had high hopes for a fast casual Korean…read morerestaurant. Upon walking in, noticed the neon signage everywhere-- it's a cute touch. You order at a counter. I waited a bit as the person talking orders was also bringing food to customers and making bubble tea. When I ordered. I decided on the royal bulgogi and a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The drink was made while I paid. So I started with it. Sadly it wasn't up to par. ;(. The tapioca boba inside was hard, not chewy. The flavor was fine. But I wouldn't order it again here. Then my meal came out -- it did take a bit of time. I like that it had a variety of items - rice, noodles, a tiny salad and the bulgogi. That said, I didn't think it was near as good as other places I've been to. It was edible. But not amazing. Bummer. For $22 for a meal and drink, I would have hoped for more. But the only way to find out is to try. Not sure I'd come back. Maybe.... But I'd probably just get the noodles.

My husband loves their chicken pad Thai but thinks they changed their chicken tenders from real chicken tenders to a frozen tender, and aren't as tasty. I love a fatty, melt in your mouth, tender morsel so I got the pork belly and it was exactly that! There was a little too much kimchi for my taste but that's a good problem to have and it's called Kimchi Box after all haha! You order at the front and you seat yourself, and then they bring the food to your table. There's a soda fountain as well that you can serve yourself. There are multiple fun neon signs that make it feel like you're walking down a busy downtown street without the noise!
