Delicious food, straight to the point, quick and excellent customer service! The decor made it a trip back to 90s days in Korea. Staff were all very professional and warm to guests. Reservation is highly recommended! Only downside was it was very loud due to the fully booked tables and the texture of the walls doesnt help absorb the noise level. Could be uncomfortable for some.

Authentic Korean food done right. The meal immediately reminded me of the home-cooked dishes I grew up with, which made the experience feel especially nostalgic and comforting. The menu is concise, which makes ordering simple, and every banchan was thoughtfully prepared and well seasoned. I especially loved the 북어국; it was so flavorful that I wish it were offered as its own standalone entrée. The space is small and fills up quickly, so it can get loud during peak hours, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I would highly recommend this spot and will definitely be returning.

I had lunch with my husband here today. This restaurant has absolutely become one of my favorite Korean restaurants in NYC. The first egg drop soup was so flavorful with dried fish, dried shrimp, soybean sprouts and thin winter melon slices. We ordered bulgogi and spicy pork as our entrees. Both tasted very good. The side dishes were really amazing. My favorite was the sashimi which tasted so fresh. The sauce they made for the soft tofu was out of this world. They added persimmon in the fruit salad which was so refreshing. I will definitely come back with my friends soon. If I am around downtown Manhanttan, this will be the go-to place for any of my meals. The diners sitting next to us were all Koreans, so you know how authentic this Korean restaurant is!

I know this ain’t no lowkey hidden gem but despite the hype it did nottt disappoint. Kinda pricey coming in at an inflexible $36 (no other options, must order 1 dish per person). But it’s a lotttt of food and a lot of variety. The banchan are great and pretty unique. We got sashimi, apple mayo salad, kimchi, tofu, chicken wings, japchae etc etc. and all were excellent. The only mid one was maybe the japchae. The bulgogi is a must. It’s even better than the squid imo, but both are great. Don’t leave without a free (very sweet) coffee or black sesame tiny coffee. Delish. Only complaints are that you can’t order less than 1 set per person. And they don’t have sparkling water. Other than that, chefs kiss. No vegetarian options. Good for gluten intolerance.

From the moment you step in, it’s like stepping back in time to an old-school Korean diner. The interior design is absolutely immaculate. It gets a little small and cramped but it’s super homely. The food was also honestly perfect and the right portions. They offer free refills of three side dishes but I didn’t even need it, as I left feeling very full and satisfied. The service was also great and the staff were very friendly. The little black bean latte at the end was also a great touch! As a Korean person, the food really hit the spot and I felt right at home. My only complaint is that it does run quite expensive for almost 40 per person including tax. However, I do feel like I got my money’s worth from the food and overall experience! Also: we got there at a good time almost right after it opened, but the restaurant fills up very fast. Be aware that it’s quite a busy spot especially since it’s small and limited seating.
