    Food: The Boiled Pork Wraps was decent. Being from California, I've usually had Bossam with napa cabbage, radish kimchi, and garlic + jalapeño; however, this came with radish kimchi, a green onion + beansprout medley, and squid, which slightly differed than what was pictured on the menu. Wasn't a big fan of the sauce it came with--it was a bit sweet for my liking. The Dried Cabbage Soup was also another item that didn't match the menu, and unfortunately so--in lieu of ribs, we were served (a relatively small portion of) brisket. Overall, the soup lacked depth and it was heavy on the veggies. Lastly, the Kimchi Dumplings were probably my fave. They came out steaming hot from the kitchen, and they had a nice flavor that wasn't overpowered by the kimchi or its tartness. Service: We were waited on by two people--a man and a woman. The woman seemed to be well versed in the menu and offered her suggestions, which we took her up on. The man, who I'm assuming is the owner, was nice enough to explain how to enjoy the Boiled Pork Wrap. Came on a busy Thursday evening, but food came out pretty quickly. Ambiance: Casual, modern, traditional. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

    Ginseng chicken soup (half chicken)

    I found my new favorite Korean food restaurant in the area! Everything seems authentic and tasty, restaurant is clean and good choice of side dishes as well, slightly salty to my taste, but not a big deal given everything else is good. The chicken in the ginseng chicken soup was pretty dried, but the soup was tasty, I would try a different soup next time.

    Food is really good. Expect to get lotta food! We only ordered one dish for two people and were stuffed. The stir fry we get was really well seasoned, even had some crispy spots from the grill. The purple rice was very flavorful. They also have complementary tea which was really nice to have. The staff were really fast and friendly. There were difficulties in our order cause the system messed up and ended up there for an extra 20 mins..... but had a refill on appetizers. All the food came out to be $19 for just us two!!! We didn't get drinks but it was a nice spicy way to get breakfast since they open pretty early.

    We were looking to have a Korean food for breakfast and this was the only place that was open early enough. We almost didn't go there because I only saw large (and expensive) plates online, but we ended up going anyway. I sent it to my Korean friend for an assessment and he said it's a solid option and is actually popular in Korea. When arrived, we saw some autographs, really curious who left them. The menu actually had smaller plates, we just didn't see them online. We ordered L14 and it was still HUGE! We already had a full intention to split the plate and it actually was perfect for us! We didn't even finish all the veggies, since we got so full. Everything tasted excellent and the banchan portions were quite generous. I also loved their rice! The meal was served with a huge pot of buckwheat tea and we finished the whole thing -- it was this good. Everything came up to ~$19.00 after tax and before tip.

    I came here with my parents and it's decent. Nothing crazy but also not terrible. My parents got the sooyook which was the noodle soup. You have to salt to your taste which I like because you can adjust it to your own liking. I got the bossam with oysters and honestly a solid 6/10 for the bossam and 8/10 for the oyster. The bossam was good and super soft but it was more fat than meat. I would've preferred a little more meat but still good taste. They initially forgot it and brought out a plate of squid/kimchi radish/green onion salad which was super nice of them. Oysters were super fresh and so refreshing. Had a slight sweetness to them but wow such good taste. Might throw people off with the whole ice and the bowl but tasted super fresh and rich. The vibe of the place was traditional Korean interior with wood which makes it seem more traditional. Overall, decent Korean food and would come back for the soup on a cold day!

    The food was just ok. The top two things I did not appreciate about this place were the menu changing without notice and the male employee breathing down our throats while we ate. The pork belly dish that we ordered came with raw oysters (which is traditional to eat with this dish) the first time we ordered it and then the second time it came with cooked squid. It was never brought to our attention that there would be a discrepancy before we ordered and then the employee insisted that it tasted the same or better in his opinion. Pretty annoying and disrespectful if you ask me. The pork and kimchi dish was almost inedibly sour. They definitely used super fermented kimchi (which is usually great) and it just overpowered everything. The soups that we ordered were very bland and I'm not talking about sodium/salt bland, I'm talking about flavor from the ingredients just not being cooked right. We also ordered a couple of things and they never came out. When we asked the waiter where our food was he said "it's just running a little late" at first without double checking. Then when we asked him again like 15 minutes later, he checked his ordering device and realized he hadn't put the order in. It was a sad experience. Lastly there was a male employee who was seemingly very nice but he just would not leave us alone. He asked question after question and insisted that we eat our food in a certain way to his liking. It was frankly annoying, uncomfortable, and distasteful. Not to mention when he asked for feedback and we gave it to him raw, he was pretty shocked and unaccepting of our opinions. I'm not sure if we'd go back but hopefully the next time we do they can fix these flaws cuz I really wanted this place to be good.

    Galbijjim
    Linda T.

    We had lunch here on a weekday and it was great. Had the galbijjim, spicy stir fried intestines, and ox special soup. Galbijjim portion is huge. We had leftovers for 2 days, mind you we have two young kids as well. The service was nice and quick. I love the family feel to the restaurant - loved the friendliness of the hosts. Definitely coming back.

    Disappointed with togo portions. As a parent with a young child, I have to order togo regularly I can't dine in. I pay full menu price and tip 10% as alway but this time. Please dont scam your customers. And rice is cheap!!!

    Great place,food was sooooo good,many small side dishes were good too. Chicken soup is my favorite. Highly recommended.

    Clean establishment with friendly service. Food was delish and portions were plentiful. Definitely come with an appetite or prepare to take some home with you.

    The seats were not cleaned prior to us being seated. It stained and completely ruined my ($400) pants! Please pay more attention to the cleanliness of your tables. The food was solid 3/5. The experience was ruined with the previous detail though.

    If you like fresh kimchi, you'd like the kimchi here. My husband liked it but I like my kimchi a little fermented. The braised beef was good. I definitely recommend getting this dish. The pork belly was ok for me. I like to eat it with Napa cabbage but that's not offered here. It comes with raw oysters but we asked for it cooked. It came out semi raw and not a good taste. The soup with variety of meat was ok. I'd get a smaller portion instead of this big one. Overall, it's a good place for family sharing kind of food. Also, I like their purple rice too!

    Seolleongtang
    Christy T.

    Yum!! Came with a group of 4 and were seated right away at dinner on Friday night. It got pretty busy as we were leaving since it's a pretty small place. This restaurant is delicious and feels super authentic! I got the Seolleongtang or ox bone soup with noodles and it was fantastic! They have a lot of sharing dishes as well so easy to choose something for everyone to share and try! They don't do a big variety of banchan but otherwise the quality of the food is great. Highly recommend this little gem in this little packed Korean area.

You won't feel ignored, but you also won't be on a first-name basis with your server by the end of the night. Ambiance is simple and casual. It's not trying to be fancy--it's more of a laid-back, everyday kind of place where the focus is clearly on the food. If you're looking for a trendy vibe, this isn't it. But if you just want solid Korean comfort food, it delivers. Overall: great for when you're craving noodles and want an honest, satisfying meal without the frills.

    MIND BLOWN!!!!!! LITERALLY, THE BEST Korean fried chicken I've ever had in my life! The freshness,…read morequality, flavor, and service were all 10 out of 10!! The owner was there and while initially I thought the service was a bit slow, the owner was the one that really turned our experience around. The food definitely was already giving five star vibes! Located about ten minutes north of Carrollton Korea town, nestled in a smaller plaza, is this amazing Korean fried chicken! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the saucy marinated chicken but I tried the sweet Korean and the honey garlic and both were amazing! Crispy and crunchy on the outside, moist chicken on the inside and came out piping fresh! We also ordered their original boneless with a refreshing green onion salad that compliments the boneless chicken so well!!! All washed down with an ice cold TERRA! We also ordered Seoddok seoddok Which is a crispy chewy rice cake and Korean sausage on a stick drizzled with a sweet and spicy sticky sauce! 10/10 as well. Whether you're visiting or a local, this place is a MUST TRY! There is a common practice in Korean culture in their restaurants and retail Shops that's called "service," which basically equates to "on the house" in American culture. The owner gave us two types of shaved ice on the house and it was the perfect and refreshing dessert to end and round our whole experience!!! PSA: first you pick the type chicken - boneless, wings, or the whole chicken cut into pieces. Then, you pick your batter: golden crispy batter, fried batter, or yorienn batter. I recommend the classic KFC style FRIED BATTER! Lastly, pick your sauce! I still dream of this chicken place and it's only been a week since we tried it. I already want to go back and my mouth literally drools thinking about it!

One thing I do want to mention for future reference: our waitress gave us a free shaved ice, which was a really sweet gesture, but she didn't tell us what was in it.

I definitely recommend letting customers know the ingredients in complimentary food or drinks, especially since you never know what allergies someone may have. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our meal!
