But the main point of coming here is the garden, which is still lovely. The tiny running brook, the little gurgling waterfalls, the shady little groves of plants and statues, the multitiered seating area, all make it one of my favorite places to go, no matter what kind of food they serve. And the sushi place is still great!

Freshroll is a fresh and convenient restaurant I love stopping by for a quick lunch! I absolutely…read morelove getting their freshrolls with a different variety of proteins and their nam nam saice. Their nam nam sauce is so delicious, I've tried recreating it at home because it's so good. The pricing is also amazing! One freshroll is only $5.85 and packed with very fresh ingredients. I haven't tried any of their other items because I love their freshrolls, but I would love to try other items next time. Service is always fast and helpful, while the restaurant is small but has a few tables and seats you can sit at to enjoy your food. Fantastic spot I'd recommend anyone in the area to check out!

We ordered: - spicy Tteokbokki with cheese: good flavor, rice cakes were a little hard, cheese not melted well (7/10) - kimchi pancake: not crispy enough, but overall tasted good (8/10) - japchae: thicker noodle type than normal japchae, a little dry (7/10) - sweet and spicy wings: juicy, crispy, good overall (9/10) - tofu soup: lacked flavor (5/10) - kimchi fried rice: a little too sour, needs more salt (7/10) - tonkatsu kimbap: no notes (10/10)

Casual place popular with college students with a variety of snacks and vegetarian options…read more Food itself is nice. Not the kind of Korean food I personally love, but the noodles and Korean cheese dogs have good textures. They use the same noodle in the japchae as in the soup so it isn't like I'm used to, but it was better than most japchae I've had with good sesame oil. They are popular for their kimchi fried rice, but takeout of that is a fair bit smaller than eating in the resturant. Order at a kiosk and pick up from a counter. Drop off your plates and you have to sort your food waste and plates yourself. That considered, it's not as cheap as I thought it would be, but was not expensive by any means. Kimchi stew with a japchae side of just under $15 is totally fair. Not sure if I would personally come back, but it's good for groups because no one really dislikes it and it is solid for takeout.

I also love the pickle on the side. Well done! The egg sandk was not as I expected. Not as good as the ones at konbini stores in Japan. I would add more mayo to the egg. Service was pretty fast. You can also place an order online ahead of time. I will go back to get their katsu curry next time. Yummm

Dined here a few times and came back recently because I was craving some pan-fried dumplings, but…read morethis visit didn't meet my expectations. We waited about 15 minutes after putting our names on the waitlist, and no one greeted or seated us even though the waitress saw us. Another party even had to flag down a waitress, which was surprising since there were only a 3 tables occupied but 2 servers on the floor. We were eventually seated, though. As for the food, the seared bao wasn't fully pan-fried and tasted pretty plain. The wagyu XLB seemed freshly made, but the flavor could definitely be improved. My favorites ended up being the string beans and the sweet and spicy wings, which aren't even their main focus. The wings were crispy on the outside and still juicy inside, definitely the highlight of the meal. The restaurant is located at a nice area but the food needed to be worked on.
