Wanted to give this place another shot when a friend wanted to try it out…read more They added a utensils and tea setup for you to grab yourself, so there's less interactions with the staff. They changed the kimchi from radish to a cabbage. It seems to be a quick kimchi, so not as fermented (if at all). It has a nice bite to it, but does not have much flavor, so they are maintaining that clean flavor profile. The Dweji Gomtang (Regular) was even lighter in flavor than the last time I was here. Maybe I'm just not getting the flavor that everyone else seems to be getting, but that would mean there is a lack in consistency, which is disappointing for a restaurant that specializes in this dish. The meat was still tasty and well cooked though, so that was enjoyable. The addition of the Gochu Ji added a much needed boost of flavor. The Lard Donkatsu was crisp and had decent flavor, especially with the donkatsu sauce. I do wish it had a lemon wedge to add some brightness to the dish. The cabbage salad, pickles (still listed as pickled pepper on the menu, but it seems to be peppered pickles now) and potato salad did help refresh the palate a bit. The cabbage salad and pickles had a good crisp bite to them. This dish comes with a soup and rice as well. The soup was pretty good, with more flavor than the Dweji Gomtang. The rice was well cooked, and a great vessel for the donkatsu sauce. The Ebi Katsu was crispy and went well with the tartar sauce. The shrimps are sizable and has a good ratio to the breading. My favorite dish of the meal. The Lemon Ade has a good lemon-y tartness. Overall, still disappointed with the lack of savory-ness from signature dish. I am happy to see some changes in the menu though, and they were getting many customers. Maybe their katsu dishes are the way to go.

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!

The cold noodles were delicious as well, the texture of the noodles as well as the flavor! We got a regular one and a spicy one for the travel and both were great but I think I prefer the spicy one. The barbecue was great as well and the servers helped grill a portion longer for me once we asked them to with no issue! The store was pretty spacious and it was great that there was a parking lot because it was super cold and we didn't want to have to walk back to the car after a hot meal. Overall, everything we had we all loved and I will be back for sure once I can eat the raw marinated crab!

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.

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.

Same noodles as the jjajangmyeon, except in a red, hot, savory, spicy broth. Inside, there's shrimp, onions, squid, and mussels. It's rich, hearty, savory, spicy, and really slurpable. Another highlight of this meal is the post-meal dessert. You get balls of crispy candied fried dough, glazed in honey. It's sweet and crunchy, chewy and airy inside.
