Ho Soon Yi is such a good spot for Korean food! We ordered the bulgogi, galbi, and kimchi pancake,…read moreand everything came out hot and fresh. The bulgogi was flavorful and tender, the galbi had a nice char and great flavor, and the kimchi pancake was crispy around the edges while still soft inside. The portions were really generous too! We had plenty of food to share. The service was great! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. It also has that cozy, family-owned feel, which I loved. It's nothing overly fancy, just a comfortable, no-frills spot where you can tell the focus is on good food and taking care of their customers. I also loved all the banchan that came with the meal, especially the kimchi and cucumber. Everything tasted fresh and paired perfectly with the meats. Definitely a great spot for authentic, comforting Korean food. We'll be back!

It took a while to get helped, and some of the tables seemed to be non-functional or pushed into corners, however I had a very pleasant solo dinner here and would return.

The place wasn't filled when we arrived, but by the time we were finished, the place wasn't filled packed at 1:00. Tofu soups are their specialty and there are many varieties to choose from. My daughter got the Seafood and I got the Soybean. Our favorite parts of our meal are the boiling hot temperature that the soup arrives in and the rice that comes in the stone pot. It's so authentic and adds to the vibe. Our banchan came out almost immediately and our soups arrived shortly after. Really no complaints about their food or service. The prices have gone up a little over the past years but it's yummy and the quality of the food is so good. It's worth the $19.

The rice is served in the hot stone pot. Order the soup based on your spice level. I usually order the kim chee or seafood tofu soup. We had a party of 3 on our last visit and two of us ordered the combo special so that we could share the short ribs and the spicy BBQ pork. The meats were tender, so delicious and flavored just right. It is served on a sizzling platter. All the sides are delicious as well and you can ask for more . My favorite is the Kim Chee and bean sprouts. A fried fish also comes with the tofu soup. The service is prompt and quick. The restaurant has lots of parking which is a plus. This is comfort food at its finest!

Service was lacking as we had to ask for some things multiple times and drinks took so long we ended up helping ourselves to the water that the waiter said he would get.

Look forward to trying another spot to see how it is.

The teriyaki chicken is warmed up, so the two come out different temperatures and one seems lukewarm and the other piping hot. I buried several pieces of my chicken so the rice would warm it up.

And paying 4 extra for fried rice is a bit much compared to others but it was pretty good fried rice so again, no complaints.

It is pretty pricy, and I feel like I'd rather have regular kbbq typically if I'm going to be spending this much. But if you want intestines, this is the spot! Banchan are nothing too special but they are decent. The soybean soup which I usually like a lot was super duper peppery this time. The spice level was fine but I feel like it kept irritating my throat (and I usually love pretty spicy things!)

1. Foods: 4 out of 5. We got combo A. Among the four options, my favorite is beef large intestines,…read morethe beef stomach. I personally think pork heart is mediocre and beef small intestines are not so good because the stuffing inside tastes a little bitter. Beef large intestines were sooo rich, juicy and tasty. It felt like it exploded in my mouth. Pairing it with the onion, kimchi and other side dishes can really give you a savory break when it gets too oily/too rich. Overall, love it and will come back for food. 2. Service: 2 out of 5. food comes later than we thought. Side dishes were provided first as always. Water ran out at the end but nobody checked on us. We had to ask for bills at the end while waited for a while that nobody checked on us. 3. Cleanness: spoons are not so clean. The first two spoons that I got either had a piece of pepper or a rice stain mark.

Just like all those K-drama's, they have everything to make it a date night... including the price! (its expensive). Boneless wings (5): This is what we come here for. At first I felt boneless just meant chicken nuggets, but its so much more than that. It's large chunks of chicken actually breaded and fried. They have a ton of different flavor sauces from mild to super spicy. I like it simple with their golden original flavor. Crispy with still a nice kick. Ddeok-Bokki (3): It was good. Good flavor. Nice n chewy. Nothing to write home about IMO though. The portions are fairly decent but the overall cost is high. Just be prepared for that. This is not a cheap value spot but the korean chicken is legit.

Just moved to Washington from Hawaii, and this is the closest to Hawaiis Korean food I could find. Received the food really fast. Service for everything was really quick. It started filling up in the restaurant as our lunch went by. But service was still really quick. My 2 year old loved the miso soup as well as the brisket. We'll definitely be back. Glad I came across a video of this restaurant on Facebook. It's going to be our go-to yakiniku spot from now on.
