They have a 10% cash discount promotion currently. Don't miss out this deal! Kalguksu knife noodle soup $12.99 is a must order. The noodles are so fresh and chewy. It comes with minced spicy pork meat, carrots, zucchini and onion on the top and it pairs well with the noodle. Broth is flavourful yet light. Perfect for winter. Steamed king size mandu $14.99 is one of the top mandus I've tried. The minced pork fillings are juicy, tasty and flavourful. It has small diced onions mixed in for a crunchy texture. Braised pork meat $38.99 comes in a steamed pot to keep it hot while you eat. The portion size is huge and I loved the thoughtful idea of steaming while they serve it. The pork meat is tender and good fat and pork skin ratio. Dip this in gochujang (korean red chili paste) or wrap with lettuce and kimchi altogether for a refreshing bite. I will definetely come back whenever I crave for authentic Korean dishes.

We also tried a garlic Jokbal this time. It comes as a hot pot and with a variety of wrapping veggies. I m surprised at the size and the sweetness of the yellow garlic paste. The noodles soup is very good, both in the chewiness of the fresh noodles and the beef broth with pepper. Service is hospitable, decent and kind, even though servers don't seem to speak too English well. There's lots of smiles. Korean side dishes are lacking, here they serve only kimchi, although the kimchi is very tasty!

We were regulars at Koreantown and tried almost every cheap food joint here. We passed by this place, saw some good reviews, and decided to give it a try. I like the portion here, we ordered for two, could not finish it, and packed the food to go. we ordered combo a, supposed for two people, but i think enough for 3. However, the food tasted somewhat average. It will fill my up, but i do not see myself craving for it in the future.

It came with a solid amount of tofu and an egg that scrambled in the soup.

The side dishes unfortunately did not hit the mark as the texture was either too soft and the kimchi and other pickled dishes were too sour. The service was very kind and efficient though. The restaurant gives off mom and pop vibes and feels like you're going to get a home cooked Korean meal.

What we got to share for the table: Crunch rice soup with seafood 5/5 - This was something I've never tried and highly recommend. It comes in a big soup bowl with a thicker gravy consistency topped with a crispy rice, similar to a rice crispy texture. The different textures of this soup was amazing and I can't wait to get this again. Ja Jang Myun 5/5 - A staple that is a must get. It was saucey with the black beans and seafood. Noodles were cooked perfectly with the right amount of bite. Fried chicken with spicy and sour soy sauce 5/5 - The biggest highlight of our meal. It came with a huge pile of fried chicken, topped with a bunch of jalapenos. The sauce was similar to a sweet and sour sauce. This was extremely addicting to eat and was so good to share with the table. This spot was definitely a hidden gem for me as it's so delicious, so low key and great to dine here with friends.

The taste is at pat or even better than the well-known Korean places around while the portions are much bigger. We ordered takeout a few times already. The owner is super friendly and even prepared some special side dish for us as my son has a particular one that he liked from another Korean place. Overall, if you are craving takeout for a big group, their family pack is the way to go. Do order a few hours in advance of lunch or dinner time as the prep time can require some time. Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of "wait". As they say, you can't rush "art" (in Korean food prep and cooking). Our favourites - bolgogi, kimbop, fish cake sides, japchae, and seafood pancake.

We ordered the bossam, seafood pancake, and budae jeongol and the bill came to ~$100. The bossam was quite a large portion and the flavour was quite delicious. Our favourite item was the seafood pancake. We devoured that and if given a choice to only order one dish, I would definitely recommend the seafood pancake. The budae jeongol (as a solo dish) could easily feed two people. They pack the soup in two large circular soup-like takeout containers and the ingredients in a square container - same as the ones that the bossam and seafood pancake came in. There were plenty of tteokbokki, sausages, cabbage, and ramen noodles. We put the dish together in a wok and kept it heated on a portable induction cooktop. They gave four containers of banchan: fish cakes, japchae, radish kimchi, and mandu. My only complaint about this experience (4.5/5) was their inaccurate waiting time. I called in around 5 PM on a Wednesday to place my order and they quoted that the order would take around 20 to 25 minutes. I showed up ~30 mins after I called and they didn't have the food ready until 5:50/5:55 PM. I understand that they're busy, but I would have appreciated a more accurate wait time.

Slice pork broth soup lightly salted and comes with 2 dips (mini sauce pot) on aside, personal preference would be gochujiang mix on the right which gives you a punch of spice.

The broth wasn't very salty but still flavourful and once you let the peppers steep into the broth, they add a lovely spicy kick. Another substantial dish is the steamed pork bo saam ($49.99 for large) where slices of pork belly are kept warm on a hot plate. Diners tuck these soft meat slices into lettuce, Napa cabbage, and turnip with a smear of the savoury bean sauce for a protein packed bite. Our table was split about the haemui pa jeon ($28.99). The size of a medium pizza, it's made for a group. Personally, I found it way too thick and didn't contain enough ingredients to balance out the doughiness of the Korean style pancake. Conversely, my relatives preferred the heft as it contrasted the crispy exterior and soft interior. I guess it depends if you're a thin versus pan crust type of pizza lover. I'm firmly in the Neapolitan camp. I thoroughly enjoyed the crust that develops on the bottom of yachae dolsot bibimbap ($18.99). And the hot stone rice bowl contained a good combination of ingredients to ensure there was plenty of vegetables and beef to go around. De Chou's LA kalbi ($34.99) was rather neutral with very little sauce, so you mostly taste the beef. I personally would have preferred more sauce to help caramelize onto the beef ribs, but the older members of the family appreciated the plainness and liked that it was tender.
