Gamberry Rose Pasta
Larissa T.

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for lunch today, and we're so glad we did! This place is a hidden gem. We started off by ordering drinks; I ordered the Dirty Matcha (coffee + matcha), and my husband tried the Somethin' Cream Latte. Both drinks were refreshing and delicious. Next we ordered our food; I ordered the Gamberry Rose Pasta while my husband chose the Bacon Kimchi Pasta. The pasta comes with a piece of baguette on the side. Both dishes were very unique, tasty, and full of flavor. We've never tried Korean fusion pasta before, and we were blown away by how amazing these combinations were. The ingredients they added work so well together and added so many new flavors. They are also very generous with their portions, which is an added bonus. The restaurant interior was clean, spacious, and had nice modern decor. We enjoyed the ambiance while dining. It wasn't too loud, and they had music playing in the background at a comfortable listening level. The staff were very friendly, polite, and had our food served to us quickly. We had a great experience and we're definitely planning on coming back soon!

Burrata Salad
Nicole K.

Went here on a Saturday for brunch and it wasn't that packed yet. We ordered our usual - truffle mushroom pasta and mussel stew. We also tried the burrata salad for the first time. The truffle mushroom pasta wasn't as good as it used to be. It still has the same creaminess but the truffle flavor is lacking. The pasta was a bit overcooked too. For the burrata salad I wish they put at least 2 burratas for a better proportion. There were a lot of grape tomatoes and arugula for only one burrata. On a brighter note, the mussel stew was good - my son devoured it lol. The place itself is nice and spacious. It's a cute spot to eat and catch up with friends.

Carbonara, Tteokbokki,  Mentaiko Cream Pasta
Rianna G.

A cute spot with good food! I personally ordered the carbonara, which I found to be very flavorful. It was very creamy, somewhat sweet, and had bits of meat in it. I would recommend trying other pastas if you want something more savory! It took a bit for them to get our orders and to receive our food as all tables were filled, and they only had one person working the floor for most of the hour before the restaurant closed. Overall, they have an extensive menu and a simple, cute aesthetic. I love the idea of fusion foods, so I'm glad I got to try Somethin!

Cream latte
Ariel D.

A modest cafe with okay food. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Shrimp pasta was great and was the only plate we finished. Prosciutto brie toast had too much jam which made it cloyingly sweet for us, personally. The truffle fries were confusing. Truffle was not present -- La Croix is more flavorful than these fries. Many of the fries had an inconsistent fry on them, with one side being considerable more cooked than the other. The shrimp toast sando was unbalanced. Way too much salad, and too finely chopped made it structurally difficult to eat. The shrimp flavor was anemic to begin with, and was further overpowered by the overly sweet yuzu sauce on the bread, which also made it soggy. The side tomato salad was great, and we wished this also accompanied the prosciutto toast. I ordered cream latte at the tail end, and I am glad I did -- the coffee is the one thing I would come back for.

Gamberry Rose Pasta, Prosciutto open toast
Anh N.

Simple looking cafe but food was delicious!! The pasta and prosciutto toast was 10/10. Waitress was extremely patient and friendly. I requested espresso over ice with a splash a milk and she totally understood the assignment. The vibes are cute. Nothing too special. I want to come back to try more pastas for sure.

Gamberry Rose Pasta
Alison C.

The food was so good! The chicken was definitely spicy and the salad was a surprise hit. The pasta was also creamy and delicious but was overshadowed by the other foods. The interesting thing about this location is that it doesn't feel like a restaurant. The setup of the furniture gives more of a cafe vibe because the tables are not consistently the same and it's an open space. However, the process of sitting down and ordering feels like a restaurant because the pasta and meals take a while to prepare and because they are full meals compared to a snack. Gets pretty loud if there are a lot of people inside. Staff was helpful in advising that the chicken needed to be mixed otherwise it would burn. Even though they have an outdoor section, it was closed on a Saturday when I was visiting. Not sure if it open on other days, but it is not dog friendly.

Steak Cream Pasta
Vivian T.

The menu drew me in, but the food left a lot to be desired. It was fairly empty at 8pm, so thankfully we were able to get a table. Pretty and quiet ambiance with moderately dim lighting. The servers were quick to get our orders, bill, and offered recommendations. Both of our pastas lacked flavor. For a savory dish, the cream sauces were very heavy in cream flavor and lacked salt, seasoning, and depth. The parmigiano cheese- any cheese really- was undetectable in both pastas. Truffle mushroom pasta was incredibly bland, while the steak cream pasta was bland with a sweet aftertaste. For a savory dish, it was really disappointing. I could not finish my pasta. The very humble-looking steak, while small, thin, and oddly not having a sear/char (not super appealing), was pleasantly tender. The garlic bread, however, was the saving grace- nicely toasted and savory. My favorite was actually the caprese salad, but that's hard to mess up. It's a nice place for a last-minute date or meetup without making reservations. Menu impresses but the execution was not so great. Unfortunately, I would not come again.

Mentaiko Cream Pasta
Katie P.

I was not impressed with the korean italian fusion. It was very much lacking in the elements of korean food as their tteobokki (which is advertised on the menu as "k-food") was simply some form of marinara sauce and the vegetable was a sad take on kimchi. The mentaiko cream pasta was unremarkable. I'm not sure if they're better as a cafe but it's definitely not the place to go for Korean food. Service was fine and the decor was nice.

Kimchi bacon pasta
Sam B.

Somethin has been on my list since they opened, but it's not exactly near me, so I haven't had a chance to check it out until now. The menu is extensive, and everything sounded appealing, but I ultimately landed on the kimchi bacon pasta. The pasta was an explosion of flavor, combining the complex sour, spicy, and salty notes of kimchi with a rich and creamy pasta sauce. The simmered heavy cream based sauce works to temper the acidity of the kimchi, resulting in a bold and savory sauce that pairs perfectly with pasta. Kimchi pasta is one of my favorite fusion dishes, and the cooks at Somethin definitely do it justice. I also ordered a grape crush soju cocktail. The drink tasted like a grape Jolly Rancher, and it was absolutely delightful. So whatever you're in the mood for, you'll certainly satisfy your taste buds here at Somethin ;) ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

John S.

Been here couple times and pasta is always good here. Last time I got the rose pasta and it was amazing. This time I tried something different and ordered tteokbokki and cream pasta. Surprisingly good mix. One thing is that it can get a bit chilly inside. Great during the day but not so much at night (could've been just me though). Staff is very friendly and plenty of parking at any time of the day.

How is this spot not all over social media yet?! It's giving understated elegance with a dash of Tokyo-meets-Scandi café energy. The aesthetic is minimalist in the best way--think clean lines, warm lighting, neutral tones, and just enough plants to make you feel like your life is more put together than it actually is. Basically, if Muji opened a restaurant, this would be it. The menu is equally impressive: Asian-inspired dishes with a modern twist, plus brunch staples and pastas that feel both comforting and elevated. I got the burrata seafood pasta (yes, I'm a person who orders cheese on seafood--no regrets) and the loaded nachos, and let me just say, the portions were comically large. Like, "why did I wear jeans" large. Coffees were solid--nothing overly fancy, but they paired nicely with the vibe and the food coma I was slipping into. Service was quick and low-key (bonus points for not being overly chatty before my caffeine kicked in). Prices were totally reasonable considering I left with both leftovers and inner peace. Parking wasn't a headache either, which in this city feels like winning the lottery. If you're into minimalist aesthetics, big portions, and food that makes your taste buds clap--run, don't walk.

Carbonara
Halle P.

Came here for the second time yesterday and it's just as good as I remember. Me and my friends each got our own Carbonara and shared the Parmesan Garlic Fries. The Carbonara we all agreed is the best we've had. It's so creamy and savory with the perfect amount of garlic, bacon, and onions. The fries were also delicious and perfectly thin and crispy. I especially loved the sauce it came with--really made it a stand out. It's not super garlic and cheesy though so if you're expecting something of that flavor, it's a bit more subtle. Service is always a 10/10 and the aesthetic is very modern, clean, and a great place to dine with friends. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

Grilled pork Toast
Christina X.

My friends and I came here for brunch a few weekends ago. I liked the fact staff answered any questions we had about the menu as some of us had dietary restrictions. I ordered one of the Korean street toasts, and really enjoyed the sandwich. Everything was so flavorful and satisfying. One of the others ordered the chop steak pilaf and that was so delicious. I will definitely come back in the future.

We came here needing a quick Korean fried chicken fix. My thing is to always to compare to…read moresomething that I liked. So my base is K.bbq Chicken. I walked in and noticed they do have limited tables. I wouldn't say this is a big group kind of place. Luckily for us, we were a party of 4. I looked at the menu over and over and couldn't really decide what to order. I had the dilemma of trying to feed my kids. So of course something not spicy and some carbs. I ordered the fries and honestly they were a miss. I didn't like that dirty oil flavor on it. I also did the cheese balls expecting some cheese full, but that again was a little mochi like in texture with no cheese pulls and dusted with a sweet cheese powder. It's an acquired taste. Those are some of the ehhh dishes. However the star of the show were the boneless chicken. We did their ddeok bokki mala flavor. Dang, that thing hits! It's very spicy, but in a good strong salty and spicy flavoring. It's also not too runny like other ddeok bokki's I've had in the past. I was thoroughly surprised by that dish. Now back to the boneless chicken, just be extra careful on your first bite. It's oozing with juices and piping hot. I had to open a few ahead of time to peel the meat for my children. They loved it. Now, pro tip, I would order the original again and order a side of the flaming sauce. That was super sweet and spicy. The perfect compliment to the crunchy texture. I also ordered a side of the boned in wings and had the soy spicy flavor. That was really tasty. I would order beer next time bc these flavors were bold and needed a cold beer to cool down the heat. Now, the thing that impressed me the most were the crunch on every single piece of chicken. They are by far one of the most inquire flavors and texture combination I tried. One thing, that made me say, hey I'll come back here again, was their workers. My son accidentally dropped the fork and like a few parents, we would just pick it up and wipe it off and use it again. I know, not everyone will do that. If you have a toddler they can drop that fork like 4 times sometimes. Anyways, the waiter noticed that and quickly brought us a clean new fork. That's some fine dining detail that I have never experienced in a small restaurant before. Kudos for the wait staff on that. One item for improvement is to offer some carb options like rice or noodles. I know it's more bar or finger food, but can't really serve Asian food without rice.

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

The cheese steamed egg is probably what catches most peoples' eyes; I will say it tasted a lot more like I was eating a cheese omelette than a usual steamed egg at KBBQ as the cheese sort of overpowers the subtlety of the silky eggs that normally are center stage. It was tasty, but just don't expect quite the same thing as usual! Overall the inside is really nice looking and the service was very fast and attentive; very classy wood design in all the seating.

Juk is known for its creamy texture, nutrient density, and the thoughtful use of ingredients, and Bonjuk delivers exactly that experience. Bonjuk offers an impressive range of classic juk varieties, including samgyejuk (ginseng chicken porridge), jeonbokjuk (abalone porridge), hobakjuk (pumpkin porridge), and patjuk (red bean porridge). Their menu also includes beef vegetable, beef mushroom, beef seaweed, tuna vegetable, salmon vegetable, seafood, shrimp, octopus kimchi, oyster mushroom, vegetable, and plain rice porridges. Prices range from $15.95 to $29.95, depending on ingredients. Each juk order comes with complimentary sides: dongchimi (water kimchi), soy-braised beef, spicy squid, and kimchi. Every side dish is delicious, and additional portions are available for just $2 each, which is a great value. For to-go orders, the juk is packed in a tightly sealed plastic container, accompanied by the side dishes, plastic spoons, and chopsticks--secure, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered the four most popular juk options to-go: samgyejuk, jeonbokjuk, hobakjuk, and patjuk. There was a small mix-up, and I received two patjuks instead of the hobakjuk. I was initially disappointed, but that feeling quickly faded. The patjuk was perfectly prepared--thick, creamy, silky smooth, earthy, and mildly sweet. My family had no trouble enjoying a second serving. All three juk varieties we tried were excellent. The homemade broths used in most of the porridges deliver a deep, savory umami flavor, and each bowl is consistently thick, creamy, and deeply comforting. Many Koreans still believe in juk's nutritional and medicinal benefits, particularly for soothing the digestive system and balancing Qi energy--and after trying the porridges here, it is easy to understand why. I highly recommend Bonjuk for anyone seeking authentic Korean porridge. Juk has deep cultural roots in Korea and symbolizes care, healing, and nourishment, and Bonjuk honors that tradition beautifully. This location is inside the Super1 Hannam Chain market. Service is friendly, and the restaurant is very clean and well-maintained.
