    Service was great. Very attentive to customers who walk in. The communication between the cashier and the cooks worked well in getting my order out to me quicker. And the place looked well put together, clean and direct. There isn't anything about this place that screams at you and wows you. This place is an order, stay if you want or take it to go vibe. My food is the reason I gave it 3 stars. Although it tasted great, I felt like there was more rice than there was chicken in my mini bowl. Meeting me in the middle would've been better. Chicken was cooked thoroughly. Rice tasted fresh. For me it was just the portion size. I was left hungrier than I was when I came in to order. Maybe that's just what it is about the mini. I dont mind giving this place another shot with their regular sized plate or bowl.

    Spicy porn & teriyaki chicken

    This place is sort of like all the other teriyaki bowl places but way better. The small business touch to this common item in California is done so well with delicious sauce and really well prepared spicy pork and chicken that hits the mark. I recommend both the spicy pork and their chicken bowls. The price is on par with the quality and amount of food they pack in those Togo packages. I want to say this place is in my top three teriyaki bowl place

    My partner & I went in last night for a quick meal on the way home. It was very fast service, the staff that was working were so polite and friendly. It's a small, tasty little place. Much better than flame broiler in my opinion. We both loved our food.

    The food was delicious & the service was amazing. Ambiance was relaxing with a tv playing. They had a good drink and snack collection too. No public restrooms though.

    Thank you so much to the team! We had a group of teens for a construction camp lunch and we took over the place so they were fueled before a jobsite walk! As always the food is great!

    Amazing flavor from the chicken and pork. Friendly service. Small parking lot. They had a news channel playing on a T.V.. Owner was super friendly and happy that I stopped by. Chicken was tender, and teriyaki sauce had a nice sweetness to it that cuts through the chicken and pork really well. Rice was cooked well. Green onion was crisp. If I'm in the area, I would stop by again.

    Food is good. Our family's favorites are the spicy pork bowl and the short rib plate. Service is awesome. They are always friendly. Place ambiance is simple almost giving out the small canteen vibe. A lot of workers come here to eat lunch or have items to go. You can always call in advance to order your food and it is usually cooked fast.

    Hidden gem with generous food portions. The meat is expertly cut and cooked to perfection, always fresh. Their trio of sauces - two spicy options and a delightful teriyaki sauce - are simply divine. The staff is welcoming and efficient, with convenient parking available. A must-try spot for a satisfying lunch

    Plate of rice spicy pork and beef. (Ignore the chicken on top....I took it off the other plate I had )

    ok I just have to say.. as a 31 year old Korean who has lived in Orange County her whole life…read more. this is my new favorite Korean restaurant. Service was amazing, food was sooooo good, best banchan, and big portion meals. Price is totally justified by portion size. 10/10 experience and will be back with friends and family! Thank you for a great experience!! We loved it.

    Hype is real. Have passed by this place every so often and have seen some IG reels on this place…read more Decided to stop by on a weekday dor lunch and was definitely not disappointed. I love dining solo and this was a very solo friendly dining experience. I arrived around 1:30pm, and was seated right away. Right as I was seated, I got steaming bone broth in a little thermos placed on the table along with cold ice water. Two of my favorite things to start off with. Came here during a heat wave and boy was it a great choice. Bone broth is steaming piping hot with notes of garlic and was nice and milky letting me know that the bone both was well steeped and packed with collagen. Love that this was a part of the meal and no added cost. The set up of the menu is straight forward. Ordered the cold noodle combo with the sliced pork hock and green chive kimchi $32, for this combo. Well worth the price. Portion was generous. Ban Chan arrived tk the table first. Standard ban chan but the stand outs were definitely the kambocha squash with creamy garlic mayo & the acorn jelly. Kimchi were nice and fermented but still fresh, a bit more noted on the sweeter side. Cold noodle arrived in a glorious giant metal bowl. Noodles were so fresh and had a perfect chew. So refreshing and perfect for the hot heat. The Jokbol (pork hock) was also delicious. Missing a bit of the fresh garlic and the bean paste but the chive kimchi was a good accruement. Ate half and saved half for home. Definitely recommend to eat the cold noods in one sitting cause left overs mean soggy soft noods. Service was your average experience at a ma and pop Asian restaurant. I can tell that the waitress got scolded cause she gave me ban chan dishes that looked like is only for 2 or more, versus the TINY little small strip of ban chan on a small silver platter. I noticed the small silver platter for the other diners dining solo didn't include all the banchan. I ate everything and if not brought everything that I didn't finish back with me, but seemed kinda unfair that not all the banchan was given to the other solo diners, so be sure to ask if you see something missing. No one seems to check in on you but again am I surprised, no. Service was straight forward and nothing memorable but also not necessarily bad. Restaurant is very clean, has good AC, and most of all excellent food. Would come again to try other dishes.

GELO is one of the best servers I have had! He was so attentive and accommodating and his bright personality made our day. Bonchon variety is abundant but I really just wanted cucumber and kimchi.

After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to our table to take care of us. Although our server seemed to be trying his best, the overall service still fell far below expectations. Rarely checked on us throughout the meal, our grill was changed once, and never came by to offer drink refills. The food quality has also gone downhill. The rice cup portions are drastically smaller than they used to be, and the meat quality was poor. It feels like the restaurant's overall operation and standards have really declined. For the price, this experience was unacceptable, and unfortunately we won't be returning. I don't recommend it at all!!!!!!

I was immediately seated and was given the menu (they have lunch special) immediately. I ordered the original broth and they have either the flat iron or the beef toro as their special for lunch along with tea drink. In total after tax, the cost was $25, which isn't too bad with today's inflation. The broth itself was fine - 3/5. The beef still tasted frozen and still being thawed at the time I had tried it. Once I had dipped it in the broth, the meat was pretty tough and mind you I didn't leave it in that long. I do feel the side sauces has a change in ingredient. I was hoping there was more creaminess to the sesame/peanut sauce. Service was quick and efficient, no problem there. The place is clean and very friendly for a quick bite if you want to come here during your lunch by yourself. Their seating seems to favor more for a party of 1 and no more than 4 to be comfortable.
