Small, authentic Korean restaurant located in the corner of a moderate-sized plaza next to Island Tan and Izakaya Takasei. They don't have a lot of parking right in front of their restaurant but there's ample parking available in the adjoining lots. Service was relatively quick and friendly and their banchan (small side dishes like kimchi, fish cakes, bean sprouts, etc) were delicious with free refills. Thought their prices were on the higher end but I'm glad that atleast their portions are good. Was also surprised that they do not offer any alcoholic beverages here! Was totally craving a nice beer to pair with my bibimbap!

Everything we ordered was spot on. My husband enjoyed their soon tofu soup more than other neighborhood tofu places. The side dishes are all tasty and the servers are so friendly and nice. We came with three little children so we were a little cramped at their table for four but still enjoyed our dinner very much. All the tables are small and close together so I can't imagine coming here with a big group.

Very good and authentic food. It just wasn't my favorite with what I ordered. The pork cutlet appetizer was huge, it could feed 4 people. The chicken fried rice was good and so were the dumplings. They don't have beer or liquor, only sodas. Service was excellent and they gave us a pancake thing as a starter that was included, plus soup. I thought it was a little expensive but that may just be California prices and i admit, you get a lot of food for your money.

Good food, big portions, and a smiling staff. Perfect combination for a satisfying meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal here. The complimentary pancake was a pleasant surprise. The hot stone pork Bibimbap was delicious, and so was the Chicken Ssambap. Lots of other items I would love to come and eat. A definite place to try.

Really good food, nice staff and HUGE portions. Their seafood pancake was ENORMOUS. The sign in store states they use " eco friendly organic good materials". No matter what, really fresh, good quality vegetables here. Although the tofu soup was a bit on the salty side it was still amazing and the tofu was very smooth.

I love the quality and quantity of food and side dishes this restaurant gives you (before and after the pandemic). The soups are so comforting and tasty. I especially like their gamjatang (pork bone soup). You can get sundubu (tofu stew) by itself at any spiciness you like or upgrade to a combo with bulgolgi, chicken or galbi. The tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) is so good and they give you a lot! Their menu has a lot of variety and covers all my Korean food cravings! They are following all proper social distancing & mask policies. Call on the phone for takeout, it's pretty quick. You can ask for curbside pickup & they will bring it to your car. Wait outside by the table when picking up for safety. They box the food really well too. The thing that surprised me the most is they still give you all their sides for takeout! Kimchi, bean sprouts, a huge seafood pancake, spicy cucumbers, radish and the dessert rice drink! It's wonderful that I can get the dish I'm craving but also get the restaurant experience of having the sides too.
