“Me and my friends went there for dinner. We ordered something soupy (I forget the name), LA Galbi, teopokki, and japchae. Everything was nice and delicious but the rice is very dry. I couldn’t finish the rice. Btw, order their LA galbi it’s really good! Meat is tender and tasty. Japchae also nice chewy and has different texture unlike the japchae I had before. It’s uniquely good.”
“This spot is nestled up on third floor above Wonjo under a karaoke owned by the same hospitality group. The location remains pretty good considering it is in K-Town. Stairs are not too high a climb, and the interior has a good amount of seating. It gets popular at night, and is more of a drinking spot. For lunch, they offer bap bowls. The advertising at the ground level, however, is not all accurate. Not all items on it exist anymore. For example, they do not offer cold noodles anymore. What they do offer is done simply and well. The soy bibim rice bowl is surprisingly rich with a chili sauce and mayo. The tofu is fried well and provides a good focal point amid the vegetables. Overall, a nice spot to grab some well-composed rice bowls.”
“Came here after a long workday and it was exactly what I needed. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. I just wish the portion sizes were a bit larger, but overall it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend this place and would come back again!”
“Food was flavorful, but the service was bad. We were a group of 4 and asked to sit at one of the round Korean BBQ tables for a more authentic experience, but were told they were reserved for groups of 6+. The restaurant was mostly at a 15-20% capacity, and throughout our meal several of those tables were occupied by groups of 1–3 people (curiously all of whom appeared to be Korean/Asian). When I politely pointed this out at the end, the server argued that those guests had tricked her by supposedly telling her more people were coming to fill the 6spots at each table, which honestly felt hard to believe. There were also a number of service issues: we were initially seated under a strong AC vent and had to ask to move, a Diet Coke we ordered never arrived but was still added to the bill, and a simple side of plain rice took over 15 minutes to come out. The menu is also quite gimmicky, heavily focused on the “buy 2 get 1” promotion to the point that we almost missed the rest of the offerings. Music was great, by the way.”
“While the food was quite good in this interesting spot, its service was subpar - from refusing to take cash to failure to pay attention to the table for the entire duration of the meal, the staff simply had no interest in providing service when there were only two tables occupied. There are plenty of Korean spots nearby with better service.”
