We ordered about 40 wings for a party of 7 and still had some left over. My favorites were the peanut butter and mango habanero which were packed with flavor! The garlic noodles also hit the spot! They have indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of space. The restrooms were clean and service was quick and easy. Overall, a memorable food experience and will be returning when I'm in the area.

Thankfully it wasn't super busy and we ordered a variety of food thanks to the Happy Hour menu. Food came out quickly and was fresh and more than we anticipated. The staff checked in on us many times which was nice of them. The onion rings were really crispy and the bulgogi fries were indulgent. Personally I like the chicken wings more than the chicken strips which were huge but drier due to it being chicken breast. The Soy Garlic wings were a tad too salty for me.

The fish is fresh and the fact that they hand dip it in their batter pre-fry, makes it really fresh and tasty (chips too). So, why the low rating? In just the last year (or two) they have DRAMATICALLY reduced the portions. What used to be a solid sized two-piece is now a one-piece split in half. Same price, half the food. That sucks for any regular who obviously knows whats happening. Guess we're headed over the hill to Camelot in Pacifica!

I was contemplating on gate keeping this place but I want them to succeed so they dont close down so I guess I have to share it with Yelpers. Our group of 4 ordered the army stew, cheese corn, chicken gizzards, Galbi platter with wrap items, egg souffle, and kimchee fried rice. Honestly, everything was so freaking good!!! Corn cheese was surprisingly super flavorful and not just the usual corn topped with mozzarella? It has something added... I think maybe crack because I couldn't stop eating it. The egg souffle was so nice and fluffy and a perfect consistency. All four of us were so impressed with all the food but I have to say that the MAIN reason I picked this place was for the Korean rice punch!! I loveeee korean rice punch and I ordered one to go. Our server, Aaron, was super attentive and friendly! He was managing all the tables on the floor and while the restaurant isn't big, there was a large party of 23 guests that took up half the space so it was great that he checked in on us despite being slammed. This will definitely make it on to the rotation and maybe it'll still be our secret ... for now.

So much that the chicken was in a pond of gooey sauce. Gooey Saucy Padak Chicken. The woman there insisted it has always been made like that - I know it wasn't because it used to be my favorite and I'm not a sauce person. The japchae was also overcooked, mushy, and overly salty. It was very dark brown, as if a jug of soy sauce was poured in, not the light translucent brown color that it should be. To top off this meal, I had a stomach ache immediately after eating there. Time to find a new fried chicken spot.

We ordered the tofu soup and oxtail soup. I honestly didn't enjoy the tofu soup much, it was heavily flavored with msg and it overpowered the gochugaru and lacking traditional flavor. It wasn't for me. On the opposite, the oxtail soup was pretty solid and we would order it again. The other letdown was the banchan, it was unfortunately very bland, especially the kimchi which was very under seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to have a comforting meal but note the flavors might not be consistent with traditional flavors.

I've called over 100 times and not once has anyone answered. What really got me was calling while I was literally standing in front of the store.

Maybe online ordering is a different experience, but it doesn't sit right with me that a business has a phone number they don't even bother to attend to. Just feels unprofessional and frustrating.
