Mom and pop type of establishment, so expect a little language barrier with slow service, but good delicious quality food.
Everything we had was pretty solid, from the seafood pancake to soups, meats and dumplings.
Would I go out my way for this hole in the wall? Maybe if I craved it enough.
If you’re looking for some good Korean food with real taste you need to try this place. I had the mando guk (만두국) and my wife had the son dooboo jjigae (순두부 지개). This was by far the best I’ve had and I’ve tried so many places between Portland Oregon to Mississippi. Give this place a shot you won’t regret it. 😋
Awesome place for authentic Korean food with good service and a simple environment. We ordered the seafood pancake because of other reviews and we not disappointed. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings, so yummy and so well made. Last we ordered the bip in bop; the meat was flavorful, the rice was delicious and the sides were great. Our first real introduction to Korean food has kept us talking about it for days, thank you for taking such good care of us and cooking some amazing cuisine!
We came here on a week night and for some delicious Korean food. We ordered the BBQ Robs and the Spicy Pork. Everything was fresh and tasty.
🤤🤤🤤 the food was amazingly delicious. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for when trying Korean food. The restaurant vive is very home like with Mom and Pop running it. Don’t let the area discourage you from coming out and eating here. I definitely will be back.
First off... This is in the hood.. So lock your car. Secondly, this place is cash only; there is, however, a Chase ATM a couple miles into the hood so if you are feeling brave and have a bullet proof vest and really want Korean food, you can get cash there.
Now to the food, the portions are decently sized. We order the bugolgi and kalbi and they were both relatively flavorful. The sides weren't as great as we had hope but they did give us some variety. Houston's Korea Town isn't as big as NYC, or LA or even Dallas but this is one of the few places you can get decent Korean food. It isn't all-you-can-eat like other places but they get the foods and sides out pretty quick, depending on the time.
When we went, there were only 2 older ladies running the tables so even though we got our service quickly, we did notice some tables not getting served as hastily.
Also, the barley tea is bomb; considering how hot it is in there, get it ice cold.
Love this place! It has great food that keeps you coming back for more! Here's their Galbi and Kimchi pancake which we love!!
Absolutely delicious!! I can't say enough to express how tasty the food is! Very well made and very pretty to look at which is always a pleasure! I wish I had taken a picture but the food was too good to wait on! We had the pan fried dumplings to start, phenomenal. Then we had a spicy goat soup and milky beef soup that came with quite a few sides; spinach, kimchi, bean sprouts, spicy cucumber, and fish cake. Each soup came with a dark purple rice! 5/5 outstanding!
It has been almost three years since I first visited this place. The owner lady is very nice and friendly. She is willing to give you more side dishes if you ask. However, there is a new server who is not as nice as the owner. Our group size was 6 and we got only 1 fish cake. I told her that I hope to get two more fish cakes because we love fish cake. I did that because I was sure we could finish it all (we did actually). But, the new sever said no because she thought that's too much. After she noticed that I did not like her response, she brought us one fish cake. This experience made me reconsider this restaurant. Overall, the food quality is really good. The best Korean restaurant in Houston if we consider only the taste.
Legit korean food... Approved. I’m from South Korea of southern region, pretty critical of korean foods in America but this place has really good food. Galbi soup and kimchi pancake was amazing.
