The best Korean food within a 15-mile radius! The service is quick, and the atmosphere inside is pleasant and quiet.

Lunch for two cost us $80, which is extremely pricey for a self-service, pay-first, takeout establishment. The portions were quite small, and we were surprised by the lack of the usual appetizer vegetables typically found in traditional Korean restaurants—aside from a small dish of overly salty kimchi. My husband and I visited on a Saturday between noon and 2 PM, and only two other customers walked in during that time. The food was just barely average. A small plate of beef short ribs, priced at nearly $30, was very chewy, suggesting the meat was of poor quality. The beef short rib kimchi soup was overly salty, and the beef was so tough it resembled shoe strings—essentially inedible. The vegetable pancake was only half the usual size but still charged at full entree price, and it was mostly dough, served with a dipping sauce that seemed to be just plain soy sauce. Overall, we were very disappointed, especially since we chose this place based on its highly rated reviews.

My girlfriend and I have become frequent flyers here, and for very good reason. We live about a 30 minutes drive away, but we keep coming back because of the Incredible food, (everything I've tried here is absolutely top notch) the cozy atmosphere, the wonderful and kind staff, and the perfect portion sizes. I'm not a big restaurant goer by any means, but this is my favorite restaurant of all time and I would be truly shocked if anything ever tops it. This restaurant was my introduction to Korean food, and I've since been to many places like it, but nothing has ever come close to topping this. I cannot express how much I love this place. Give it a shot for yourself!
