I checked this place out while visiting the OSU campus. It was filled with college students, which I think is a good sign. They had Korean food and sushi offerings. Everything was top knotch. Service was very good and friendly. They were busy but I still felt completely taken care of. Food was out quickly too. They even asked if I wanted more banchan when I was running low. If you ask me, that's an excellent sign the restaurant understands and prioritizes service and hospitality. I'll say most Korean restaurants I go to will not ask if I want more. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

It is the only Korean restaurant around campus. Ramen tasted great with a half boiled egg and authentic spicy broth, but it tasted like the instant ramen noodles from Asian groceries. Sushi rice was hot, which could be cooled. Anyway, the lunch special coming with a Ramen and a set of Sushi cost less than $15.

One of our favorite spots just off campus. Fantastic food all around but particularly the bulgogi and sushi. Always great cuts of fish and generous portions of said fish - truly a treat. The staff are attentive and have always accommodated us for larger groups as well. One of my favorite restaurants here in Columbus, If not of all time!

What a neat experience. Very authentic place serving Japanese and Korean food. If you're vegetarian most of the broths are chicken broth so i recommend asking unless ignorance is bliss for you. Being a pescatarian I tried my luck with seaweed salad and the Hae mool tang (spicy seafood hotpot). The seaweed salad tasted fresh (not sure how given this is in Ohio) and the hot pot had a Very unique flavor for me since I don't have much history with Korean food. The hotpot came with rice and had lots of veggies. The the seafood is soft shell crab, whole shrimp and quartered pieces of Cod. Majority of the Korean dishes came with the kimchi sides as well. Definitely a dining experience I won't soon forget.

The service was quick and food authentic. Great selection and options! The Senior Loco sushi roll was AMAZIING! A must try if you like spicy rolls. The other food wasn't as flavorful as other places I've visited but still good! (Kimchi jjigae and bibimbop) The atmosphere is simple but clean. We got about 3 side dishes with our meal (egg noodles? Tofu and kimchi) Would come here again if in town and would most likely try more rolls!
