“ Simple, quick, good Korean food. Self Service restaurant with small/focused menu, fair prices and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend to try the fried rice here! ”
“ Tried the tangsyk and the crispy batter was unique and delicious, but the sauce was way too sweet. Pro tip: ask to skip the sauce and put the black bean sauce on it instead. The dumplings were also fried in a nice a crispy manner, but not hard. Tables are very clean! They come and wipe them as soon as a customer leaves. The black bean sauce with omelet and cabbage soup was delicious and felt like comfort food! Definitely coming back for more! ”
“ Came here around 5pm and I already saw a small line forming. The dishes are tasty and authentic! I ordered the jjangmyeon which was black bean sauce, pork and veggies over a bunch of noodles. The sauce is a bit on the sweeter side. I think it needed just a touch of salt IMO. I finished my dish regardless. The Jjamppong had a lot of flavor and the spice kick was good. I almost finished the whole 8 pieces of the Gunmandu.. they were really tasty and the crust was perfect! I would also like to point out that the protein pieces are cut very small so it gets lost in the veggies. A lot of veggies over protein. Veggie and noodle friendly but not protein friendly. Overall I enjoyed eating at this fast casual Korean restaurant. ”
“ Fast, clean, self service type of spot. Arrive early as it can get busy on weekends during prime time. Chain restaurant with locations all over but I kind of like that you know what to expect. Jajangmyeon and jajangban are my favorite dishes. They give plenty of sauce. Good fried chicken too but a little more batter than I prefer. Not a big fan of the non spicy noodle soup but I do like they saute the vegetables to give it a little char taste. ”
“ Unique and delicious spot coming from the famous Korean chef. We came here to try the classic dishes, including the black bean noodles and the deep-fried pork, and they did not disappoint, especially the noodles! We also got some amazing Hong Kong wings which were flavorful and tender. The pace at which the dishes comes out is amazing, and you can see them prep the dishes right behind the ordering table. They offer toppings and water as you need - very cafeteria type restaurant. Lots of indoor seating. Would recommend if you want a taste of authentic Korean cuisine. ”
“ The Netflix series, you know. I ordered a traditional noodle with the same flavor as I ate in Korea. The price is affordable and worth trying if you have never had a Korean-style noodle. ”
“ It's a counter service restaurant, you walk up to a prompter and place your order. Not good or bad but worth noting. You can see them cooking the food which is fast and hot and gives you something to look at while you wait. Just about all entrees are 20 dollars. Large portions kinda like family style. We loved it, will be going back. The creamy shrimp was delicious . Everything was great. Dumplings hot and crispy, jjamopong sauce was great . ”
“ Best place to get your Korean noodle fix. Food is cooked in full view, staff work very fast and efficiently. The noodles dishes were tasty but the fried rice had a strange taste I couldn't make out. If I were to compare it to anything, it tasted like a hint of soap. At first I thought it was the bean sprout, but it's not because I have tasted the bean sprout on fried rice at another place. I still come back for the noodles but I don't order fried rice anymore. ”
