“the galbi jjim here is absolutely stellar - like the short ribs are so tender they jsut fall off the bone, braised in this rich soy sauce thats got the perfect balance of sweet and savory”

“ok so service was SO slow during dinner rush honestly took like 20 mins jsut to get our banchan refilled yikes”

“the kimchi jjigae came out bubbling hot in its stone pot and the tofu was just melting on my tongue plus the fermented cabbage had that perfect tangy bite with enough heat to make your lips tingle”

“lowkey the rice was lukewarm tho adn had that dried out texture that happens when its been sitting under a heat lamp too long”

“i love how they load up the bibimbap with fresh veggies - tons of spinach bean sprouts and carrots and YOU can ask for brown rice which is nice for fiber and that nutty flavor”

“the bulgogi in the bowl felt kinda skimpy honestly compared to how much rice they pile underneath”

“the warm wooden booths and soft korean pop playing make it feel kinda like dining in someones home, you know? the servers wear these traditional hanbok-inspired aprons and theres this gentle sizzling sound from all the hot stone bowls coming out constantly”

“legit teh fluorescent lights right at teh entrance are SO harsh and unwelcoming - like it totally kills the mood before you even sit down lol”

“the bibimbap here is actually SO good - like fresh veggies arranged all colorful and stuff, good protein, and they have brown rice if you want the healthier option. everything tasted actually fresh, not all wilted and weird like other places do it”

“the kimchi banchan was honestly just mushy and way too salty, like it had none of that crispy fermented bite you're supposed to get haha”

“their korean fried chicken is crispy perfection honestly - double fried with a glaze that kicks and pairs SO good with ice cold Hite beer”

“beer selection is pretty limited for a place this size, like only a couple korean options and just basic domestics chefs kiss”

“went here hungover and desperate and their kimchi fried rice literally saved my life!!! perfectly crispy rice, runny egg on top, and enough kimchi funk to wake the dead. plus theyre open late which is clutch nuff said”

“teh coffee tho also basically jsut brown water. come here FOR teh korean comfort food for sure but dont expect good coffee ha”
