My husband and I are never disappointed with their food nor services. Our last visit we dine in for our lunch, surprisingly it was empty around 1pm. I thought I forgot to update myself on their business hours. The waiter remembered us and quickly assisted us to a table. Food came out quick and delicious. We ordered their pancake, oyster soft tofu soup, and a bulgogi rice. No complaints. Definitely will return again, especially this is where my husband and I ate dinner on our first date.

I've gone to many soft tofu restaurants and this place is so far the best! This was my favorite place since I was a kid. The texture of rice is amazing, and portion size is great. They check up on your table often if you need refills on side dishes. Very authentic. Not only the soft tofu, but the taste of every food is very deep and you can tell that they are very professional with food.

One of my husband and I favorite places to go. Food is always great. Very nice place to go. Workers r so friendly n nice and welcoming. They are always on point with their services. We go at least 4 times a month maybe even more. Highly recommend to check out. They have the best kimchi n it’s always good.

After a long absence since 2015, I recently revisited this Korean restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to find that it has retained its original charm and cleanliness. As I entered through the side door from the parking lot, I was greeted by various artifacts reminiscent of the Joseon era, adding an authentic touch to the ambiance. Interestingly, they still have a payphone on the wall near the bathroom, which brought back nostalgic memories. The food itself was fantastic, and the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I opted for the oyster tofu soup with a mild spice level, but it turned out to be quite mild indeed. If you prefer spicier fare, I recommend ordering it at a medium level of spiciness. Additionally, I ordered the stir-fried squid, which was a delightful combination of sweetness and tanginess. The galbi also had a subtle hint of sweetness, enhancing its overall flavor.

This place certainly possesses a character of its own, with its distinctive decor, unique culinary offerings, and charming seating benches. I was impressed by the overall ambiance and felt that it truly stood out from other restaurants. I am looking forward to returning in the future and will certainly recommend this place to others who seek a memorable dining experience.

Best soft tofu soup and Korean food. I have been here over 12 years and the taste is always consistent. Sodium and MSG are minimal compared to other similar restaurants. How can you tell if the level of sodium and MSG is low? Well, if you wake up and feel very thirsty then you know you are experiencing these additives . I have never felt thirsty overnight. Delicious Korean FOOD!

This was a totally surprised visit
We did not expect the grandeur of this restaurant.
The outside was so unassumings.
The interior decor was very Korean by design. The restraint was clean and quiet. The food was exceptional as reviewed by others. We plan to bring our family here

Felt like a trip to Korea. Generous portions. Huge vegetarian selection, and freebies on the table— five kinds of kimchi/pickled veggies as an app. Serving dishes, furnishings, decor — what a treat!!!
