Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

This place has the best dumplings in the area, their mala stir fry is amazing. A group of friends…read moreand I are almost regulars here. But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

The kimchi and pickle sides they brought out were amazing. We also tried the Korean dumplings which were well cooked - crisp but not burnt. We had the virgin passionfruit paloma which was an amazing mocktail and would recomend for any who wants a fancy drink without the alcohol. They had a great beer selection and was so happy to see Maine Lunch IPA in the rotation. Wonderful service too! Would come back here often if we lived in the area.

Atmosphere was cozy, servers and staff were friendly, we were seated quickly on a Friday night and enjoyed live music during dinner. Our table ordered cocktails, spicy edamame, a couple of sushi rolls, bibimbap, kalbi, chicken bulgogi, and bao buns. Prices were very fair and we enjoyed everything we tried.

The place was smaller than I thought. Probably only around 10 tables/booths. But it definitely gets…read morebusy and the servers do their best to cater to all of them. We got both BBQ and hotpot to try. I absolutely loved the spicy hotpot broth. So flavorful and super spicy. They also came in individual intricate pots that get lit through that flammable jelly people use for aluminum tray warmers. I like that the tables all have the vacuum to suck up all of the smoke from the BBQ. The sauces they have are undeniably sweet, so I would pass on using them. To be honest, the hotpot outdid the BBQ. We ended up eating only the hotpot and completely stopped cooking the meat on the hotplate. If they had a bigger pot and used the hotplate as like a stove for it, I would totally eat hotpot here all the time.

The variety of banchan was excellent. I really enjoyed the potato salad, cucumber kimchi, chicken…read moreskin and gyoza. However, the marinade on the galbi and a few other items was a bit too sweet for my taste. What really brought down the experience, though, was the service. The staff forgot a few dishes, brought one that we did not order, and it took quite a while just to get the check. It felt like there wasn't much organization, and the servers seemed focused mainly on a larger table near the front, while smaller tables were overlooked. Overall, the food had some highlights, but the service issues made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant, Jason the owner, and the entire staff. When…read moreour family was planning my nephew's celebration of life, they were kind enough to close the restaurant so we could gather privately, and it meant so much to all of us. This was my nephew's favorite spot, so it felt especially meaningful to be able to honor him there. As a Korean family, sharing Korean BBQ and hot pot together felt very fitting. The food was delicious --fresh, high-quality meats and vegetables, rich and flavorful hot pot broths, and a great selection of soju. The sauce station was also a highlight and really elevated the meal. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. They even offered chicken nuggets and fries for the kids, which is such a considerate touch. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. What we will remember most, though, is the compassion and kindness shown by Jason and the staff. They created a warm, welcoming space during an incredibly difficult time and made it easier for our family to come together, share memories, and celebrate my nephew! We are truly grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this restaurant--not only for the excellent food, but especially for the people and the care they show their guests.

To each their own, but this place was not for me…read more We came with a large party after a graduation, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. This was my first time trying this style of dining where you cook the meat at your table, so I was really excited going in. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. Several of the meats we were served did not seem fresh, and the overall quality was very disappointing. Instead of enjoying the experience, I found it unappetizing and honestly couldn't wait to leave. I know everyone has different tastes, but based on my experience, I would not return or recommend it. I was expecting a fun and memorable meal after such a special occasion, but it ended up being one of the worst dining experiences I've had.

My wife and I have been going here since they opened. Probably a couple dozen times dining in at…read morethis place. Chicken was always moist, crispy, flavorful. Usually get a couple of orders of wings and an order of the kimchi fried rice. Always good food, decent service. Our most recent visit was horrible. We had a gap between this most recent visit, and our previous visit, probably close to six months (I'm guessing October of 2025 was our previous visit). We went in not that long ago, within the last month or so. Dine in. I am pretty sure the business has new owners, at least the kitchen and wait staff were all different from our previous visits. We were the only people sitting in the restaurant. Other than a handful of Doordash orders, not a lot going on here. Service staff basically ignored us. Too busy looking at their phone. Chicken was dry, chewy. Kimchi fried rice was dry (how do you even pull that off??). After we were finished eating (ate maybe a 1/4 of the food) we sat there for like 25 minutes staring at our plates with the wait staff sitting on a table like maybe 15-20 feet away from us staring at their phone. I had to get up and walk over to ask for the check. So, in summary, food was bad, service was worse and to be honest, food was way over priced. We're never coming back to this place. Unfortunate too, used to be good and there are not a ton of options for Korean fried chicken in the Lowell area. You're better off at Bon Chon (well, unless they took a nose dive since our last visit too...).

For what you get, the prices are ridiculous. The fried chicken was dry and chewy, and the sauce had little flavor. The Japchae was also pretty flavorless as was the Korean street corn. Quality of the food was mediocre as well. The server was pleasant, but speed of service was mediocre too. Honestly, for what these people charge, just not worth it. I get that costs have gone up for things, but it makes one think hard about each time you eat out, you want it to be worth the cost and be good food and a good experience. This place just isn't doing that. Seems to be a trend with a lot of restaurants lately. Doubtful we will ever return to this location.

The owners are so sweet; this is family-owned, with the dad is from Cambodia and having lived in Lowell for years. They have a vast Gluten-Free menu of different Asian cuisines, including Thai, Korean, and Japanese, with different options for proteins. The dishes are made to share, so the portions are on the bigger side, including their drinks, which are 32 oz and come in the large soup containers. They have a new drink menu coming out tomorrow with so many different options. They have mocktails, mojitos, and lemonades. I will definitely need to try them all. The owner was so sweet and let us try their new Jungle Juice drink, which has basically every fruit in it. We got the Sesame bowl, and this thing was packed. My friend is GF and raved about their fried rice so that was substituted in. We also got the Cambodia Curry with graduate-level spice. The owner knew I loved spice when I said that and asked if I needed more pepper and handed me a small bowl of it. The dishes for dinner were around $18, with lunch dishes around $14, but this is based on portion size, and it was a good portion. Will be eating the rest for lunch. Definitely need to check it out. It was beautifully decorated inside with flowers and wooden frames.

Service is quick and space and tables are ample. The meat cuts are plenty, always go with Kalbi, spicy pork, jap chae appetizer. Of course you also get plenty of banchan to supplement your meal!

The sushi bar was nice and long and seemed like it wrapped around the restaurant. There was chill music playing and service was friendly and timely. We ordered the vegetable tempura which was delicious and fresh! Each vegetable presented was different and tasty. I've never had a tempura asparagus or eggplant. That was a nice touch rather than the same veggie repeats. The sushi was delicious - but the tuna in our specialty role was brown and not fresh. You can see it in the pictures. We are paying $20 a roll so yes it does take off stars from my rating unfortunately which is a shame. The hand roll was delicious and I recommend to everyone to order! The Naruto was also good but it was spicy tuna with sauce mixed into the tuna. The tuna there seemed every fresh but hard to know since the tuna was chopped up tiny and mixed with spicy mayo. I'd still return here for a redo though!

It was fairly busy for a Tuesday night, which was a good sign. The miso soup came out first and looked a little watery at first, but the flavor actually grew on me by the end and had a nice umami taste. The salad was simple but good, just a little heavy on the dressing. For the entree, I ordered the hibachi steak and chicken but ended up getting steak and shrimp instead. Honestly, the shrimp was really good, so it worked out fine. The steak was a little chewy/tough, but still decent overall. The vegetables and rice were pretty average. Best part of the meal by far was the tuna avocado roll. Big fresh pieces of tuna and avocado, simple and really well done for the price. Service was solid and pricing felt fair for the amount of food and protein you get. Overall, a solid local spot and I'd come back again. 4/5.
