I stumbled across this place via a great YouTube (paid) review. They claim to be the only kosher Korean restaurant in the US, possibly the world. So I had to try it. We got the opportunity today while driving to Vermont from Maryland. We went a tiny bit out of the way.
Great food. My spouse and I split a bulgogi sandwich, a cabbage/potato pancake, and an 8-piece order of Korean chicken strips and fries. Too much food for us to eat. We took some home and I ate the rest in our hotel.
Bulgogi sandwich was delicious. Thin sliced beef, Asian seasonings, fresh roll. Loved it.
Pancake was like an omelette or potato cake. Fresh and delicious. With a delicious dipping sauce.
Chicken strips were yummy, fresh, crisp. I had always read about Korean fried chicken and wanted to try it, this was my chance. Definitely enjoyable and delicious, but not the totally new level that I had been imagining. Just goes to show you it's not a burden to keep kosher, you're missing out but not too much.
Location was great for us, traveling south to north. I had never been to Pomona/ Monsey. Easy parking in a nondescript strip shopping center.
Atmosphere was spartan. Apparently this business started during Covid and a few months ago moved to the current location. Plain, simple, clean, but zero atmosphere. Don't take a date here for romance. Bring a buddy for great food.
Service was good. Server Yisroel was charming, relaxed, friendly (we were the only customers when we entered) and we enjoyed being served by him.
Value was a bit expensive. We did not order drinks. We paid $63 including tax and tip, a bit pricey for two.
I would definitely return because the food was really good.
