At first, it was difficult to find the entrance to the restaurant as it says the entrance is a red…read moredoor but there was no red door. I followed by instinct though and opened up the beige door next to the restaurant and boom! That was the entrance lol. It is a very small restaurant and does seem like it's more meant for take out but they do have high chairs and it is rather cozy to eat a meal there. I had the naengmyeon which tasted really refreshing and spicy and my partner had the galbitang which he recommends! Definitely come check it out.

I was not wowed. I guess I expected more because I had heard such amazing things. First of all the…read moreplace looks a bit run down which isn't terrible but also not the best ambiance. I believe they focus more on take out than dine in. When I walked in all the lights were off and the place seemed empty, but then I saw a worker and said I was there for a pick-up order. My order was ready when they said it would be so I appreciate that. I decided to try their fried dumplings and red chili chicken wings. The sauce that came with the dumplings was lacking flavor but overall the dumplings had a good filling and nice crisp. The chicken was sauced well but obviously not as crispy as I'd like due to the sauce and steaming in the to go box. They were still tasty though.

Out of towner- craved Korean. This place did not disappoint! Ordered the kimchi soup and grapefruit…read moresoju. Soup came out steaming hot as all soups should! The wait is a bit long as they do not have staff at the moment...but definitely worth it!! Will definitely recommend and come back when im up this way. Flavor is there, temperature is there. I am still thinking about this soup! Food was cooked like your mama made it!

Once I located the place, I attempted to order the chicken sandwich - its trademark dish and you would swear I asked fr a kidney. "We're not making those today" one of the 4 employees standing around the kitchen said. Sorry for the inconvenience. We ate elsewhere. Sorry I can't rate the food.

Delicious Korean cuisine! I noticed a comment that someone felt the portions were small, which I do…read morenot agree with, maybe my friend and I ordered too much, but I was so full at the end of the meal. I probably could've only ordered the soup and been satisfied. My kimchi-chi-gae came out in a cast iron bowl and it was still boiling when it came onto the table. We also ordered the seafood jeon (pancake), and tteok bok ki. Everything was so delicious. This is a small restaurant but they were consistently busy the whole time we were there. The server was very hospitable and attentive. Note that they don't have to-go containers for soup so if you order that prioritize eating that and bring apps home if you need :)

I find it hard to rate a local restaurant like this because I do want the to succeed. It is very…read moresmall with 4 4-seaters. It seems most of their business is take out. I got there at 7 two different nights and was able to get a table. I went on a Wednesday and Thursday and they remind you they close at 8 so best to know what you're going to order before you get there. They have their own parking lot. They are very friendly. The flavors of the food are clean and quite pleasing although the portion sizes are not huge. I like the Tteok Bok Ki better than the Kim Bop and ordered the Yook Gae Jang and liked it a lot. And in Korean restaurants everything tastes better with Soju. No it isn't on par with the top Korean restaurants in NY, LA or DC but I am pleased when I come here and obviously I've come back for more.

I recently tried the Jaeyook Bokeum Bap, which came with a side of miso soup, and it was absolutely…read moredelicious! The spicy pork was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat - yum! Maybe it tasted extra amazing because I was super hungry after accidentally skipping meals all day, but it really hit the spot :) My friend ordered the kimbap and was equally happy. In fact, it's probably the best spot for kimbap in Collegetown. I now prefer this place over Gangnam Station across the street. 5 stars out of 5!

She was also so sweet to write down everything on a sticky note that had anything I'm allergic to which is always appreciated. We did both Kpot and BBQ and glad we got to do both. I really enjoy the buffet/all you can eat style since you're in total control of how much or how little you choose, especially when trying something new. I did try a lot of new things while here and I think it's the perfect way to do it! I made a ramen bowl and also grilled a lot of different meats - our favorite was the spicy pork belly! We got up for seconds, thirds, and fourths bc it was so good!! There is also a section of creating your own sauce which was fun too! You could definitely make a variety of different sauce creations, maybe some sweet, some spicy, some more or less flavorful, there are no limits! They also had a guide above the sauce line to help you follow the ingredients if you're looking for some inspiration. I would definitely come back again! I wish they had more dessert options.

Even when we were rushing to eat since the closing time was near, the server kept reminding us to take our time and that it was okay. She is adorable and I would honestly just go to see her again. The food was really good too. I really liked their budae jigae and takoyaki. The takoyaki was perfection -- cripsy on the outside but super soft and lava-y inside. Chapae was chewy and was so flavorful. Budae jigae was authentic and delicious. The chicken was also pretty good. Everything we had didn't disappoint. Overall, I had a really great experience! Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Ithaca

The worst Korean food I have ever had. Potentially the worst meal I have ever had (and I'm not a…read morepicky eater). My mom is Korean and my dad, though Chinese, grew up in Korea and speaks Korean fluently. Needless to say, they both know what good Asian food should be like. Well, they came here ~3 years ago and told me not to come because the food was bad. I guess curiosity eventually killed the cat... I came here with a friend and we split the tangsuyuk, sundubu jigae, and the donkatsu. Everything was horrible. Honestly, the best thing was the miso soup. The ban chan was also bad. The sundubu jigae tasted like water and the seafood was rubbery and overcooked. The tangsuyuk was dry and the sauce was too watery, nowhere near as thick as it should be. The sauce too was bland. The donkatsu was also dry and flavorless. I would not recommend at all. Please go somewhere else... anywhere else.
