We finally gave it a shot today. We ordered the steamed pork belly, cold noodles, and the galbi soup. The food was very good. My mom was quite happy with the cold noodles and my kids consumed every drop of the galbi soup. My dad and I had the steamed pork belly and we agreed that it was pretty good. The part I want to really emphasize was the service. The young man that took care of us was very attentive and most importantly, treated my kids so well. He provided them with all their usual needs like plastic silverware, extra bowls for soup, and even offered extra soup when he saw that they devoured the galbi soup. He went out of his way to give them some BTS Edition Oreos and little bags with stickers in them. I am always very grateful anytime people take care to treat my kids well. I'm glad we decided to give this spot a try.

We rolled in for…read morea work lunch and even though there was a good crowd inside, we got seated right away with zero wait, which is always a win when you're on a lunch break. If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

Be prepared for a wait, though--it gets very busy. If the line is too long, there are plenty of other restaurants nearby where you can grab a bite while you wait. The service was decent, and the banchan (side dishes) were fresh and flavorful. However, the selection is quite limited. If you're someone who loves Korean restaurants with a wide variety of refillable side dishes, this may not be the best choice. But if your priority is authentic, home-style Korean cooking, the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit.

While I've noticed some dishes have definitely improved in quality, I can't help but feel that the portions and overall experience don't quite match the rising prices. One major gripe I have is the banchan portion when you order takeout--it's definitely lacking, yet the price remains the same. I get it, this is a premium spot, and part of what you're paying for is the ambiance. But when you're just grabbing food to go and the service feels a bit off, it starts to make me question whether it's worth it. Honestly, I've been feeling like the prices have crept up a bit too much lately, likely due to the landlord hiking the rent. Plus, I've noticed a bit of pressure to finish up quickly, especially when I'm dining solo, which can be a bit off-putting. That said, this is my go-to place when I'm under the weather--I can't get enough of their soups! However, with the rising costs and what you actually get in return, I've found myself stopping by less frequently. It's a bit of a disappointment, as it used to be a staple in our family's dining rotation.
