My mom and I went here for lunch a few days ago. Both of us really enjoyed our food. My mom got the hot pot bibimbap and I got the japchae. We both had tofu as our protein. My food was so flavorful, the noodles had such a chewy, bouncy texture, and all of the veggies were fresh and bright. My portion of noodles was huge and reheated well for lunch the next day. Highly recommend!;

The mixed soondubu tasted like beef stew, which I'm not a fan of, and I got spicy for my spice level, which was abit too spicy tho I can handle spice. But overall it was still great, tgt with the purple rice and refillable side dishes. Love the fishcakes!

This tucked away Korean restaurant is a favorite of mine for their strong flavors and variety of dishes. I only got a pic of the fried rice and side dishes, but we did have to order one entree per person. Side dishes are unlimited. Be warned the kimchi is spicy! Maybe 3/5 spice.

I ordered the beef short ribs to go and took it back to my hotel. They did NOT scrimp! It came with plenty of rice, 5 really tasty Korean sides, and most importantly a nice pile of really really yummy short ribs. Plus the guy at the front counter was very nice. I'm really pleased with this place.

Went to the U district for some dumpling soup and man was I blown away. The service was fast and the food was scrumptious. I went again just to try out their japchae and it hit the spot. Husband got the bbq beef short ribs that made him happy. Keep in mind most dishes come with sides so you get a lot for the price!

I got the beef hot pot bibimbap. The flavor was amazing. The side dishes given with the meal were great too. Prices were affordable.

Ordered bulgogi to go because we wanted to eat outside and was very happy to see that they included the sides with it. Most Korean restaurants I've been only give you the sides if you're eating in.

One of the coziest and most satisfying Korean meals I’ve had in a while! The soft tofu soup (soondubu) was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy – just the right amount of heat to warm you up. The tofu was silky smooth, and the broth had great depth. Loved the variety of banchan (side dishes) too – especially the potato and fish cake. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The purple rice was a nice touch and paired really well with the soup. Service was quick and friendly, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I’ll come back to when I’m craving comforting Korean food!
