We got boneless fried chicken(that’s a small in the photo!!), kimchi fries, and salmon bomb noodles. Everything was delicious, service was so attentive, food came out quick, and ambiance was nice. Expect a more relaxed and homey environment. This place seems like owner ran(they were so lovely), and we love supporting businesses like this in the neighborhood.

I went there accidentally but wow, I love accidents like that! Place’s really cosy, staff is super nice and the food amazing! I went there a few minutes after they open so it was quite empty but I can imagine it’s getting busier in the evenings. I had lychee martini (love itl and korean pancake. And it was soo good! Totally recommend!

I’ve been here twice and have tried the bulgogi, kalbi bibimbap, and naengmyon. My favorite is the bulgogi, which comes on a sizzling hot plate. The bibimbap comes on a dolsot (hot stone pot) so you are able to get that crispy rice. However, the galbi was bone-in, making it hard to mix. The naengmyeon was not as thick and chewy as I am accustomed to at other places but that might just be personal preference. Out of everything, I would recommend the bulgogi or anything else on the “ssam” section of the menu. The “ssam” section is basically kbbq with the lettuce, ssam sauce, garlic slices, and jalapeño, except the meat is not cooked in front of you. Bonchon was limited to a small dish of kimchi, pickled radish, and kimchi radish.

The food here was delicious and the chef was so accommodating! If you’re doing low carb or keto this is the place. I had a delicious Bulgogi bowl without rice just veggies, avocado and egg. They were kind enough to make me garlic wings without the breading and they were phenomenal!

I!!!Korean restaurant and was blown away by the amazing food and service. The menu offered a wide range of Korean dishes, 😊 I started with the traditional Korean appetizer of kimchi, which was spicy and tangy, just as it should be. I also tried the Korean spicy wings, which was crispy and spicy ! Sooo good! Overall, I highly recommend this Korean restaurant. The food was delicious, the ambiance was cozy, and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. The price is very friendly!!! 🥰

It’s always great when you find another spot that you can add to the food mix. We hadn’t checked out Ssam yet and decided to do a valentines lunch date. If you have a party of 2-6 you can score a special little enclosed booth for privacy and coziness. They even have a special lunch menu which was a pleasant surprise. We started off with an appetizer of French fries (good amount - had to save some for leftover). My wife got the japchae and I opted for beef bulgogi. Since it was V day, we opted to try some cocktails too - a soju margarita and a mule. Service was spot on and efficient. Our cocktails were good if not memorable. The fries had a pleasant flavor of sesame and fresh. My wife enjoyed her japchae and felt it was robust for a lunch item. I thoroughly enjoyed the bulgolgi with a perfect egg on top but felt it was lacking vegetables. Hot sauce helped kick it up and also a solid portion for a lunch item. Overall we had a great time and will be back!

Service was quick, they have Sapporo beer for $6. TBD Food is average. The place is quiet spacious.

This place is on the pricey side but nonetheless the food was good. I got the seafood noodles and it was pretty fulfilling. However, the service was slow even though the place was pretty empty.

This is my first bout at a Korean restaurant and this place easily exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I visited on an early Friday afternoon and there was not a ton of people inside, much how I like it since that means immediate seating and less noise overall. The menu, for some reason is on these letter sized papers attached to a clipboard. I personally don't mind this at all, but others who are nitpicky may see this and immediately think poorly of the restaurant's quality, but I can assure you, the quality is top notch. Prices are pretty reasonable for most items on the menu and serving sizes are fairly big. I ended up ordering the Oh-Sam (the only thing on the menu with a fairly high price) and the shrimp fried rice. The Oh-Sam, which is fried calamari and pork belly with vegetables, arrived steaming hot on one of those cast iron-like plates where the food continues to sizzle and cook in front of you. It's mostly for show, but the only drawback is the food is HOT, and stays too hot for a while. The fried rice was served the same way. Both were absolutely delicious and outstanding. We complimented the food with a bottle of Sake, which was also amazing. Overall I can easily recommend this place. It's so delicious and so fairly priced.
