    Beef Beef Bulgogi
    William B.

    The food was a large portion. The bulgogi had good taste the ribs were fall off the bone. It was just way too much for us to eat. The service was good. The restaurant was clean but hot. Ac seemed out. I'd definitely eat it again but I'd order less.

    The food here was AMAZING! Service was incredibly fast after ordering at the kiosk. There is few options for seating so if you go at a busy time it may be crowded. Over all cozy vibe on the inside and just feels like you're eating at someone's home, in the best way possible. Will definitely be back!

    My friend and I had seen this all over social media and decided to go check it out on our day off to celebrate galentines day. Upon entering we were surprised by such a cute and cozy spot! Drinks you would grab from the cooler and order at the counter. They have the menu on display along with a self service kiosk. I ordered a platter plate and a drink and once we ordered we took a seat! This restaurant was so so clean and cute! Food didn't take long for it to arrive and the server was so sweet! Everything was fresh and looked so beautifully plated! I ordered a teriyaki chicken platter with potato salad, white rice, and veggie dumplings. Overall, everything was absolutely delicious and there was a lot of food that we ended up needing to take it home! I will be back for sure!

    Super cozy restaurant. The lady was so welcoming when we arrived. I got the tray which consisted of protein, rice and a salad. You can add size dishes. I got galbi and banchan as my side dishes. Their of the day was bean spouts and beef. Everything on that tray was absolutely delicious. The galbi was flavorful and tender. The banchan was delicious. There were five different side dishes for the banchan, and I was glad I chose that. The soup was delicious as well. It tasted like a home cook meal. I would definitely be returning!

    Inside

    Walked in and I knew that I was going to be having very delicious homemade Korean food! Wonderful staff that is very kind and wanting to help you understand their menu. They also checked in to ensure that everything I had was up to par! The food was just absolutely spectacular and I just cannot wait to have it again! I lovedddd their salad and the cucumber kimchi!!!! The inside of the restaurant and itself is very clean including the bathroom and also the complementary tea with water is just great! Very helpful staff.

    This place has been on my radar for a very long time and I finally got to try it with some friends today, one of the best if not the best Korean spot I've tried yet! Prices are fair $10+, complementary barley tea, and a backhome Korean type cafeteria setup - it's really cute and cozy The food is of great quality in my opinion and tastes fresh. I can't explain what it is about the food but it definitely tastes like it was prepared with lots of love and care! One of the female workers was so kind enough to give me a complimentary side of ttebokki because she noticed my flowers as a belated bday gift from one of my friends! Customer service is 11/10, they are very welcoming, helpful and polite. I would like to see fried tofu type skin in the future if they ever consider it because I really like that Korean style tofu they use a maybe medium firm tofu which is delicious as well This is going to be an absolute repeat again and again for me - def check this place out it definitely lives up to its hype

    Soup Of The Day
    Ivy N.

    The inside is very dainty and cute. Nice spot to grab lunch with a few friends I think. I haven't tried this place because it's sorta far from my house. My first visit did not disappoint. This is the first time I can say the food was super good. I got the spicy pork plate with 2 sides, and a soup of the day for $24. Price is average but I think the quality makes up for it. Everything I got tasted fresh and was seasoned well. My only real complaint is that the Japchae was a tad bland for. Service was good and they have a kiosk for my introverts. I think I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes. Solid restaurant.

    This is one of the highest rated Korean restaurant in Duluth...possibly higher than Jang Su Jang. Very surprising because this place is very casual...not a total dive, but more of a quaint eatery? Anyway, the thing is... their menu is quite unique, in that you have SO many options when choosing your plate...Choice of meats, rice and side dishes. You really can't go wrong in that you get to choose what you like! Then the super-friendly pricing...about as cheap as McDonald's? I got greedy, so chose Bulgogi with White Rice, and 4 sides (Japchae, FIsh Cake, Tteokbokki and Kimchi)! They even threw in the extra salad & veggies. Especially loved the fried veggie leaves (whatever it was called?). YUM!! I also wanted to try their other sides, like the Fried Dumplings and Corn Cheese...but thought 4 was enough. Maybe next time! Granted, the foods are delivered in cheap tin trays...but the foods themselves were quite good! I will say, however, that the Bulgogi Beef didn't look or taste too fresh. The side dishes were their winning card, I thought. Despite some ups and downs, this is truly a gem in that it's SO value-packed.

    Spicy pork, japchae, & Tteokbokki

    Friendly, clean, and quick service. The food was pretty good, well seasoned. I loved the Tteokbokki. It had a slight crisp outside perfect chewy texture. Not overly spicy. Some say portions are big, but for what you pay it makes sense to have some left over to take home which is a positive.

    I'm conflicted. It was my first time having had to pay for kimchi (well, any banchan actually) as a side dish, and even then, the kimchi wasn't to my preference (it's more sour than expected, not spicy, and not the level of fresh I like), which is fine, but made it all the more difficult to come to a rating. And I've eaten here a handful of times already! In the end, the food here is fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. If I ignore the kimchi, I'm pretty happy with everything else. There's only one person entering orders, but there usually isn't much of a line. Once an order is placed, you can choose to sit wherever and get your own utensils. They have water and hot barley tea (so happy about this), though they aren't placed nearby each other. They'll bring the food to you, and you'll put the tray away in the designated area near the utensils. All in all, a great place for lunch, though on the pricier side. I like the bulgogi and spicy pork over the squid and teriyaki chicken, and I'm curious about the other protein options. I'll be back for sure.

    The food was a little pricey (but you get complimentary barley tea!), but I was pleasantly surprised at how delectable the food was. I'm usually indifferent about most Korean food, but this place was pretty tasty. Tuna kimbap ($8.99): The kimbap isn't anything spectacular. It was tasty, flavorful, and what you'd expect with tuna. It's possibly a little more sizable if anything? There were x8 pieces but each bite was a mouth-full. Spicy pork cupbap ($14.99): This thing was really delightful. I'm usually so so with bim bap, but I was surprised with this pick. Maybe because it's a cupbap?! But really. There was something special. The husband said it's the sauce, which was yum yum sauce. Each ingredient was well proportioned so you're getting too much rice or lettuce. I think the reviews for this place stands up to the experience. I might have heard about this place through a foodie group. I'm pegging this review at 4 stars due to pricing. I think it's weird that you have to pay for the ban chan each at $1.99 when you're getting a meal box (bento like box). I dunno. That's what the group mentioned...

    Teriyaki Chicken, cheese corn, and topokki

    Amazing food, this is what I would expect the Korean mother I never had to make me. The food is bold, Smokey and well seasoned. The sides are incredible there really isn't anything you can order that is not incredible. My wife and I came in with our 8 month old and they just made us feel so welcomed. They even brought over a small tray of food for her to eat, which was just above and beyond nice. This is a must visit if you want the real Korean food experience at a price that won't break the bank!

    Bulgogi, white rice, salad, Ny Corn Cheese
    Ginny D.

    Had been dreaming about their amazing New York cheese corn, so I stopped by today for lunch. Can't pass up their bulgogi because it is absolutely delicious! The service was top-notch, as before, and I enjoyed the K-pop music and chill vibes. They brought me a free sample of spicy rice cakes, too! Such a pleasant surprise! While I don't typically like spicy food, these were delicious and not your typical "spicy". More of a smoky spice to the chewy rice texture. Glad I got to try something new! Will definitely be back!

    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.

    I recently visited here since it's located in the H-Mart plaza we go to often…read more Honestly, I thought it would be more like other Moo Bong Ri restorants with hot pot-style soups for sharing (전골), but it turned out to be more of a BBQ restaurant. Just a heads up so others don't get confused like I did. The place was pretty busy, which made it feel like a popular spot. The atmosphere was nice and everything looked clean and well kept. Even though it was crowded, our server was very friendly and attentive. They cooked the meat right at the table, which made the experience better. The fried rice (볶음밤) they made on the grill at the end, especially with the pork belly, was honestly the best part. Overall, really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

    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.
