I ordered the sogogi gukbap (beef and rice soup), cheese tteokgalbi (deep fried beef/pork meatballs stuffed with cheese), and Jeju Tangerine Fizz drink, which I added some Saero soju to. Everything was SO delicious! I loved the cheese tteokgalbi, which were even better with the rosemary lime aioli dipping sauce. The gukbap had a strong, savory broth and rice came on the side, so I enjoyed dipping it into the soup. The beef was cooked perfectly. Our meals also came with plenty of banchan, and the baechu kimchi had a slightly sweet flavor that I enjoyed quite a bit.

I'll be back for that. What I ordered: - Collagen gomtang (Korean beef bone soup): Very good! The beef ribs were extremely tender. The broth was clean, clear, slightly oily, and overall very comforting. Must try! - Oxtail & short ribs jjim: Generous portion size. We went with the soy garlic glaze, which was decent but the flavor profile was very mild. I would have preferred more sauce for a richer taste. The meat itself was very tender. The banchan is unlimited, which we loved. The black fungus and spicy cucumber was my favorite. Servers were friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a solid experience. I would recommend it and plan to return. :)

It is clear, not because it is diluted or made from a powder, but clear in the way that only hours of careful skimming can produce. This is a broth that has been edited, notimprovised. You taste sesame oil. You taste white pepper. You taste the quiet backbone of xiaosing wine. The wonton shrimp balls are magnificent. They are large and generous. When you bite through the slick wrapper, the shrimp inside is bouncy and sweet. You can imagine the type of family that immigranted to America, the arguments that they had, the dream the owners had when opening this store. This restaurant feels like one person made it, one person had a distinct vision and concept, and it was all they knew. I felt like I relived memories that I did not have. In three days in New York -- three days of ambitious tasting menus and celebrated kitchens and meals that performed their own importance -- this $15 bowl I kept thinking about on the flight home. Not because it surprised me, but because it didn't try to. Every ingredient was intentional. Every sip landed exactly where it was aimed. There was no wasted motion, no hedged bet, no seasoning added to flatter a palate it wasn't built for.

I ate in the enclosed patio which only had two tables, and the inside didn't seem much bigger. There is no bathroom for customers so don't bank on bio breaks here. It's efficient in that I was seated promptly, was able to place my order when I was ready, and the food came out lickety-split. Carry cash for a discount. I ordered the Wonton, Dumpling, & Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($14.75) under the "Popular Items" section of the menu since it seemed sampler-esque. The wontons and dumplings were similar since they both contained shrimp and pork but I leaned towards the dumplings since they also included mushroom, bamboo, wood ear, and chives. The duck egg noodles, beef, and broth rounded out the awesomeness. Can't wait to return with others!

It's perfectly crisp and tangy, and pairs so well with the noodles. I always order the chicken knife-cut noodles, they're comforting, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot, especially on a cold day. My daughter tried the kimchi seafood noodles, and that was a total win too. I've been coming here for years, and it's been consistently good every single time. A true comfort spot

Take a seat and wait for the piping hot soup to come out. Water and hot tea are self serve and they bring out radish kimchi, omelet, seaweed and rice (you can ask for more). The soup comes out boiling hot, so be careful! I love that the soup is flavorful but not greasy at all like some other gukbap spots. You can really taste that they cooked this for hours. The glass noodles are so satisfying. Note: they're closed on Sundays and it's cash only.

They used to be cash only but I think they now take cards (I paid cash, but I saw a credit card machine). Bathroom in the back despite the sign saying no bathroom. There was a bit of a wait when I got there for a late-rish lunch. Would go back if I were in the neighborhood again for some reason.

This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

I'm happy what I got They do have some regular customer in the store. Owner puts his heart into the food. We enjoy every bites of them. I plan to try A7 goat soup on my next visit. Can't wait to be back. They always turn on the Korean channel in the restaurant, that transformed us back to Korea travel. Don't imitate by the hole in a wall, food are amazing.

You order on iPad at the table, and the staff is available if you have any questions. When you confirm your order on the iPad, they will confirm with you. Service is friendly and helpful. The food came out quick! Their kitchen is in the basement and they have the dumb waiter sending up food, so very efficient use of space. The Dumplings in Chili Oil (can adjust spice level and cilantro) has added texture with crushed peanuts. We got the regular spicy, but could have gotten extra spicy. They were a decent appetizer but I'd go for something else. The Abalone and Chicken Rice Noodles had decent chicken flavor. There were a couple pieces of dark meat, which I enjoyed. Not sure if there was abalone in here, but if there was, it was nondescript. The rice noodles were well cooked. The Plum Juice had a lovely smokey flavor, along with a lemony flavor form the couple of lemon slices inside. It was not too sweet, though I personally could go for less sugar. Overall, a decent spot for rice noodles. They do have multiple locations, so go to the one near you! No need to go out of your way.

I've brought friends here because I've always enjoyed their dishes. There also aren't many noodle restaurants left in the neighborhood, so it's nice to have a spot like this. It's a great place to visit on a cold day. The restaurant itself is a decent size. It can get busy in the evenings, but for the most part, you can still find a table. The portions are quite generous, and the service is good. There's minimal interaction with the staff since you place your order through a tablet provided at the table. Be mindful if you have peanut allergies definitely let them know so they don't sprinkle peanut on certain dishes. Overall, this is a great place to get a warm noodle soups during Winter season.
