Great place to eat out with friends and awesome selection of food! we got seated right away but the food took awhile to get to our table but definitely worth the wait! The tteokbokki was awesome and the spiciness was perfect. We got some shrimp tempura and dipped it in the sauce. The soups all came with rice and sides to share. Plentiful amounts and very nice staff too! Highly recommend!

The service is good, but definitely NOT traditional Korean food. We spent almost 2 months in Korea, so this is definitely not the one. The seafood pancake is a little thin. Japchae is definitely not right. I thought they brought the wrong dish as it was so wet and soggy and tasteless. The bulgogi is kind of ok but our son who usually loves this dish so much refused to eat it.

The entire dinner was absolutely exceptional. The flavors of each dish were so different from one another and each dish had its own array of unique textures to keep each bite different than the last. All dishes were not too salty or oily and were perfectly balanced! Edamame and Mandoo pork dumplings were both great and perfectly cooked- 4.5/5 Bulgogi beef and rice (M3B) was a must try, massive portion of perfectly seasoned and super tender beef. Absolutely delicious and could not nearly finish the plate, left with left overs! 4.7/5 Japchaebap (M12) stir fired vermicelli noodles with vegetables and beef. The noodles and broth had an amazing enjoyable texture but there was not as much beef as other dishes and the flavor was lighter. 4.3/5

People are lying about reviews now. WHO PAID YOU!? Best Korean food is not a true statement The food was bland. I got the recommended stuff: M6 was bland as hell. It was boiled meat in water! If that was soup, I can do it too. M7: God help them. Salty, too intense in flavours, do they have different people cooking different meals? I couldn’t even finish mine and the other was thrown out. Please hear my cry, don’t do it! At least they got the boiled rice right.

everything was delicious! took galbi tang (short rib soup), galbi was tender. bulgogi, tasted great. big portion. the potato croquette was very good, my son loved it. service is great, spacious dining room for a downtown location. kid friendly. location is easy to miss when driving there, there's a big tree and the building is dark brown. parking: we noticed a free parking sign in the back of restaurant when we left the restaurant. will definitely come back

We ordered from their Rideau location and it was our first time trying this restaurant. We all got the bulgogi beef bibimbap with tteok-bokki. The food was delicious and generous in portions.The flavors were amazing and the egg on top was cooked perfectly. The tteok-bokki was slightly on the fishy side (as in you could tell there was fish sauce in it) which some people may not like but we didn't have an issue. The service was also great. Over the phone the lady that took our order was super friendly an when I saw her at the restaurant she was so polite. We will definitely be going back to try more dishes!

Went to the Nelson Street Location tonight... Great friendly service, and amazing food and when I say amazing I mean the Spicy Korean Sauce in their stir fry was so good I'd bathe in it just to smell and taste the way it did haha.. Seriously though great portion size, great prices and if your taste buds aren't satisfied when you leave than there is no hope for you!

Arguably the best/most authentic Korean food I’ve yet found in Ottawa. This humble spot boasts many of the classic Korean dishes with solid banchan to cut the great spice & unctuousness of the mains. Top dishes I’d recommend (as someone’s who’s eaten a lot of Korean food: bulgogi dukbaeggi, seafood pancake, & chicken bokum
