The beef bibimbap tastes like regular beef bibimbap. Pretty good. I liked the portion size because bibimbap is usually served in a really large portion but this was enough to make me full without leaving left overs. The maple 맛탕 (#16) had a good texture because of the unique way it is cut but it didn't taste like maple. It was just cornsyrup drizzled on rather than the traditional method of incorporating the sweet potato on a pan w the syrup which i understand was in order to maintain the texture of the potato but then at this point it's not even regular 맛탕. I got the hot pepper bite-sized chicken (#23) to go and the texture was amazing and the chicken was hot, tender, and juicy. I got the small size. The staff was overall pretty nice and the atmosphere is like any korean restaurant in kor
It was our first time at the restaurant. We had the bibimbap, pork bulgogi and army stew. The bibimbap was delicious and egg cooked perfectly. The pork bulgogi was so tender and well seasoned. The army stew was spicy but a little on the salty side. For drinks, we tried the Korean roasted barley tea, yuja tea and jujube tea and all of them were tasty.Our server was very friendly and the food came quickly and in hot stone bowls.Overall, we will be returning to try the other dishes on their menu.
Cute little Korean restaurant tucked away in the corner in dragon city!The sets were a good deal and I thought both the beef bulgogi and chicken galbi were good.Would have liked it if the ttukbokki dish was slightly bigger portioned. I thought this dish was a little bit on the salty side.I thought it was pretty stingy that they wouldn’t refill the banchan for us, especially the kimchi 😭Would be open to trying other dishes next time!
Here’s a polished 5-star review you can use:⸻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, packed with ingredients and full of flavor. The Korean fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce.The main dish came with a generous variety of side dishes — everything from kimchi to seasoned vegetables was delicious and well-balanced. The portions were generous and everything tasted authentic and satisfying.Great service, cozy atmosphere, and excellent value. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be coming back!
Food is really great! The meat is tender and juicy. Lots of side dishes they also taste good.Conveniently located in Chinatown / downtown. Parking at the back. $5.00 for weekend.

My son ordered the White Pork Bone Soup which he enjoyed. Broth was flavourful and he liked the glass noodles. My daughter and I had the Dak-Galbi (soy garlic). The chicken was so tender and tasty. My wife got the Special which was slow-cooked beef short rib soup.
Wasn't dissapointed. Decor is basic and could definately do with being freshened up but we were given warm welcome from the lovely young lady serving. The menu not extensive but freshly cooked, authentic and really nice. Extremely good value for money.
