In town for a visit and craved Korean food and happy to have found this place. We had the pork jowl…read moresoup and the gamjatang. The pork jowl soup came with good amount of meat and though the piece of pork that I tried wasn't tender or anything screamingly incredible, the soup was everything we needed. Myself got the gamjatang which was a bit spicy and came with three big pieces of pork neck bones. I don't think it's what I expected in terms of taste for gamjatang (expected more perilla taste) but overall it's a hearty soup. Honestly I didn't have high expectation before I came here but this place was a pleasant surprise. Expect service to be mid and this place is run kinda like a mom and pop shop. We came here at 9pm on a Sunday and there were 3 other tables also dining. Also I like how they have perilla leaf as banchan and their other banchans were also solid- only comment I had was the mashed potato being a bit too sweet and almost overly creamy. Spacious seating and good ambiance.

Service is friendly. Environment is clean but freezing inside. The food options are priced well!…read moreThe food tastes great! Will be back! Everything was good until the bill came. The prices on the receipt didn't match the bill. They argued it and pulled out a random sign showing a 3% increase on all items - which still didn't calculate the correct prices shown.

Really great service and some delicious ramen! This is definitely more of a quick lunch sort of…read moreplace, but the food was sooooo gooodddd. The pork buns were flavorful, sweet, and a little tangy. The pork belly in the ramen was SO FLAVORFUL, literally the best I've ever had! It was a little tough in some parts, but the flavor was seriously amazing. The portions were HUGE too, you'll definitely have some leftovers afterwards or could at the very least take the broth home and make some ramen yourself. The service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was kind and accommodating. Service seemed a little slow, but the place was completely full, so it was understandable. Everyone still had a smile on their face and made sure we had everything we needed! My only real "complaint" about the ramen was that the egg wasn't soft-boiled. I can definitely see how that would be difficult to keep up with when you're getting so many orders every day, though. Eggs like that are pretty fragile and don't last long when they have a runny yolk, so I understand why they might not be practical for a busy restaurant. The inside was okay, nothing fancy, and honestly a little messy in the back with some extra food/stuff sitting around. However, the bar counter and floor were very clean and were wiped down after each customer, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ramen! The pork belly alone was worth it.

After a prolonged cold, I was eager for tasty meals again. And I finally had the energy to seek out…read moresomething from beyond my pantry. Ramen fit the bill, a meal that would be both comforting and delicious. I've been curious about this restaurant from the many times I've dined in the area. A glance at the online menu, and I realized that I would be happy here. In addition to ramen, they offer interesting appetizers, sushi rolls, and bowls. The restaurant itself is large, with booths running along the window and smaller tables on both sides of my half-wall. The large space is separated by red lacquered scroll dividers and decorated with traditional red lanterns and non-traditional long pendants. I love the bold artwork and the gold accents throughout the space. I always get the Tonkotsu Ramen when trying out a new ramen place. It is how I benchmark the restaurant. The broth was rich and intense; the ramen was topped with pork belly, jammy eggs, julienned wood ear mushrooms (a favorite), corn, and fermented/ pickled (?) bamboo shoots. The noodles were straight and thin, unlike the typical "wavy" ones I am used to. There was also a fishy taste that I first attributed to shrimp, but later, when I watched a video on the restaurant's website, I realized it came from the fish in the shoyu sauce. Overall, it was a deliciously complex dish that I couldn't easily replicate at home. Service was friendly, helpful, and professional.

The restaurant goes out of its way to create a very Japanese vibe, with all the decorations and…read morecitypop musics in the background. I'd say the vibes are a bit too over the top and deliberate, which makes me feel that this establishment is not really authentic. The food is not the best. They said they're "known for their ramen" but I hardly find it tasty. The noodles are on the harder side, not bouncy enough, and overall texture is just on the lower end. Their non-ramen items are not better either. Service is good. The waitress was attentive and had a good attitude. Feels like this establishment put all their effort in the "peripheral" things but didn't score the best on the most important one which is the taste itself.
