2 months agoI ate here on the night of February 15th. I stayed at the Kixby hotel and when walking to the subway station I always inquired of the long lines. Finally one night I decided to eat here and am I happy I made that decision. First of all, I am happy to have gotten seated immediately as it was lines and a long wait time for parties of two and more. I eat Japanese food often, maybe once-twice a week and it is limited to what I am familiar with. So I was completely going in bling but in a good way! Thank you to my waiter, an older woman whose English was not that fluent but I enjoyed her as she answered my curiosities and questions pertaining to menu items. I got the beef and tofu hot pot and shrimp patties. Everything was to die for! I am not a tofu girly, but she urged me that it was delish and omg was it! Let’s just say, had I been in the comfort of my own home, the bowl would have been licked clean! Not to mention the pear sake that I had that was so devine. This place was such a treat for someone that likes to experiment and call expanding their palate fun. I will be returning!

3 months agoGot bad food poisoning from here, but the food was good till it wasn’t. Seems like a classic Korean food spot. There weren’t any customers when we came in.

3 months agoIt was just ok. Service a bit here and there, we ordered something from the photo which is not as per what’s written on the menu. They had to re-prepare our order again. Lucky we had steamed dumpling to start with.

5 months agoOriginally, we planned to go to the restaurant next door, but the wait was way too long, so we ended up coming here instead. The staff greeted customers warmly with big smiles, which was really nice. We ordered the jajangmyeon+sweet and sour pork combo, the jajangmyeon+pork cutlet combo, and the chicken with garlic & pepper sauce. Tbh, the kimchi that came as a side dish wasn’t good at all, so we didn’t have high expectations for the main dishes. However, the jajangmyeon was surprisingly good. The sweet and sour pork was a bit disappointing because the sauce was poured over it, so it wasn’t crispy. The pork cutlet was decent, and the boneless chicken was tasty as well, though the portion was smaller than expected.

7 months agoOne of my favorite spots! The noodles with brown sauce are to die for. Cozy wood interior that makes you feel like you are in a ship. Absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for relaxing vibes and delicioua korean food.

9 months agoTakeout order was great, everything was delicious, and I'm sure that in-the-store experience will be much better because all the food will be hot and just prepared. All three dishes that we ordered were spot on, and had no complaints! We even had some leftovers for the following day.

9 months agoI’m not sure how this place doesn’t have a phenomenal star rating- everything about our experience this evening was superb. We were greeted and taken to our seats immediately. The atmosphere was lovely. Great music. Lovely aesthetic. Smiling faces running the place. They helped us pick out entrees that we both thoroughly enjoyed. (If undecided- I suggest the spicy brisket soup). We will definitely return on our next trip
