    Got the ox bone soup and hot stone bulgogi bibimbap. Love their banchans, so fresh and delicious. Good variety. Service was amazing. Everyone was so kind. Good prices and would like to come back to try other items on the menu

    The seafood soondubu (해물 순두부가) here is delicious! Things you should know: I. PARKING The restaurant is on the left side of a plaza and shares a free, public parking lot with the adjacent businesses. II. SERVICE Timely and accomodating III. QUALITY The food is falvorful and dense. Highly recommend trying the soondubu dishes! IV. CAPACITY Busy on weekends, I recommend coming here during the weekday when there is more availability. 여기 해물 순두부가 정말 맛있습니다! 알아두시면 좋은 점: I. 주차 식당은 상가 단지 왼쪽에 위치하며, 옆 가게들과 함께 무료 공용 주차장을 사용합니다. II. 서비스 신속하고 친절합니다. III. 음식의 질 음식이 깊은 맛이 있고 푸짐합니다. 순두부 요리를 드셔보시는 것을 강력히 추천합니다! IV. 혼잡도 주말에는 손님이 많습니다. 자리가 더 여유로운 평일에 오시는 것을 추천합니다.

    This is a really authentic Korean restaurant for comforting Korean classics. You know the restaurant is good when it is bustling during weekday lunch and full of Korean people. I came during lunch on a weekday, so I ordered off their lunch special menu. Their lunch menu is really good value, and the food is delicious. I tried the beef tartare bibimbap, and all the ingredients were so fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed my meal here and it reminded me of back when I was visiting Korea.

    Haejangguk. Perfect. Falls off the bone effortlessly.

    I pass by this place pretty often and always meant to try it. It used to be the old Myung Ga Won restaurant years ago. I don't remember for sure when that one closed, or when this one opened, or if it's different ownership. The inside is organized well. I like the seating arrangements as no matter where you are seated, it's easy to get the attention of staff (if you're like me and don't like using table buttons). Nice quality tables and chairs. Everything is sturdy. The staff is very helpful, courteous, and friendly. I only tried 3 dishes, so I can't speak on the entire menu, but from what I tried, this is probably now my favorite korean spot. Factoring in quality of the dishes, service, and price, it's pretty hard to beat. The Mul Naengmyeon was refreshing and well balanced amongst sweet, tangy, and acidic (acidic if you like to add vinegar) The Haejangguk was loaded with meat. Most places I've gone to will only put a little bit of meat in this soup. It was extremely tender too. You can cut through it with chopsticks. The soup flavor was an enjoyable level spicy and peppery. Perfect. The Beef Short Rib Soup is basically the same as mentioned above. Generous portion of meat in the soup, tender, sweet, and the soup itself is spicy. 5/5 highly recommend if you haven't yet.

    The restaurant is so spacious with two floors. The menu is made of good quality paper, durable, thick, and shiny. Welcome greetings and great service. My party ordered the beef tartare bibimbap and spicy pork hot stone bibimbap. Lunch portion also comes with a small cup of soup. The food was so good. There were 6 banchans all delicious. The menu selection was great. I will come back to try more.

    Great spot for Korean comfort food! The Pork Backbone Soup and Army Stew Hotpot with Ramen were both hearty and perfect for cold weather. The Seafood and Green Onion Pancake was super crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. For BBQ, I'd recommend the Marinated Galbi--it had the perfect sweet-savory balance, and the meat was grilled just right. Portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and I'll definitely be back!

    -yi si soup is good but recently I've noticed that the quality isn't consistent? Sometimes it's perfection other times I'll find pieces of bone in the soup and it'll be overly oily -seodae (fried fish) is soggy and not fried well -good assortment of banchan and I like how it changes every time -good lunch/weekend specials but it seems like that's the only thing really going for them -decently clean -staff somewhat rude depending on who's working -it's an okay place to go if you want Korean food but don't know exactly what you want since they have a variety of dishes

    Beef set had small portions but quite pricey compared to other meat sets in the duluth area. Meat quality and sauces were just okay, nothing amazing. The servers were a bit slow but nice people.

    Just adding that the takoyaki and the sweet Caramel Macchiato also made for a great snack time…read morecombo. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. The Caramel Macchiato was definitely on the sweeter side, but it paired surprisingly well with the savory takoyaki. Overall, it was a simple but enjoyable snack break, and a nice addition to my previous visits.

    My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

    My latest new Korean favorite resto - this spot had been on my bookmarks for a while but hearing…read morethe space was kinda small, I knew the best time to come was either early or later - and the timing was never right - until last wknd. And wow, from K-Mom's service herself (and I think maybe her husband?) to the food taste AND presentation, this place is now on the repeat visit circuit. First let me rave about the banchan selection - not only is there 10 different banchan, they are quality banchan (see pics) ... my favorites were the anchovies w/ peanuts, spicy raw squid, radish kimchi, and shiitake mushrooms. The menu selection is your usual traditional Korean dishes and the prices may seem high but competitive w/ other Korean restos - and very worth it when you think about all the tasty banchan accompanying your meal. JE YOOK BOKUM - $17.99 Spicy stir-fried pork. Pretty good. Also came w/ a big bowl of seaweed soup (nice surprise and delicious) AND purple rice ... I love purple rice! YOOK GAE JANG - $15.99 My friend said it was very good! I only tasted the soup part and it was good! Overall, highly recommend - their food is a great example of 손맛 (sonmat). I'll be back for sure!

    Four people for lunch, earlier beating the lunch rush, their side dishes (banchan) was what made me…read moretry for the first time. Impressed with their food quality (not too salty) with reasonable prices for the portion. Interior is old Korean Pocha vibes with 9-12 small tables.

    I rarely write reviews and try to be considerate of the behind the scenes operations as a former…read morefood service worker from my past. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service. My partner and I came in around roughly 9:50-10pm. When we arrived we're were initially informed that we had to order soon because they were closing in 30 minutes and were understandings of that. Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

    우리는 배가 터질 듯이 불러올 때까지 여기서 먹었다. 삼겹살 진짜맛있어. 돼지고기 냄새 없어. 10점 만점 10점!!…read more I came here with a group of eight people, and we all ordered the brisket, pork belly, and the large intestine. I was absolutely obsessed with the smell of this restaurant before I even went in! I appreciated them, giving us two grills, and the staff actually cook the meat for you. I wish I was sitting more towards the left grill because whoever cooked the pork belly on that side made sure the flame was hot enough and it cooked the pork thoroughly while also making it crispy on the outside. In front of me, the griller did not make the heat high enough so it took a while for the pork to be fully cooked. She told us it was done and it was still kind of chewy so I kept swapping back-and-forth from the left grill onto this one. That's the only reason why I gave it a four instead of a five out of five was because I did not like the way they cooked part of our pork. It was so chewy the fat was not cooked at all, but it was an easy fix. I just had to cook it longer on the other grill but again we shared two grills between eight people so 1/2 of our group got to eat more than us. I like how the pork doesn't have a really strong, pork smell, and it tasted very good like it was seasoned properly. I absolutely love the kimchi! I love how this restaurant stays open pretty late so we can enjoy eating and drinking. It's such a nice casual place to hang out. For dessert, we had kimchi fried rice haha. It was such a great night!
