OK, First things first. The food...Flippin' AMAZING!
I might be biased because I'm Korean but seriously, the food is delicious.
This place used to be a different Korean restaurant pre-pandemic but everything's new/different/changed now and this is yet another example.
Back to the food...
The banchan is well done and flavorful and has authentic flavors that is really hard to do well. The Kim Chee Jigae is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! The richness of flavor without being over salted is what surprised me. They also had a korean beer that I never had before so that was pretty cool.
You know I had to order the Kal Bi too. That was super good as well. The manager/owner said that an order would feed 1 and a half people but we found that it'll easily feed 2 and in our case they brought out 4 decent sized ribs and it fed all 4 of us. Granted 2 of my party were little ones (actually 1 little one and my teenage son who could put away the groceries).
One of the issues I had was that things I asked for didn't show up and I had to either ask multiple times for them or the wrong thing showed up. Eventually I asked to cancel a couple items off our order. If it weren't for that I would absolutely give this a 5 star review.
In the end it wasn't a big deal but I can see these things being exacerbated during high volume times like Friday or Saturday evenings. With that being said I think it's a 4.5 star place.
Well done, authentic Korean food is hard to do and good places are a rarity. I would be more than happy to drive an hour to come back with my family or wife on a date night/cruise.
Support your local korean restaurant, give this place a try (just not on Friday or Sat night lol).

Parking is limited. Parked at the strip mall lot across the street. Got a table with no wait. It's the only place I've found that offers Unami Bi Bim Bop. Plus extra Unami can be requested. Very tasty. The Strawberry Snowflakes dessert is generous and delicious. The only downside was the waiter doesn't come by very often. Otherwise, I recommend this place for good eating.

Good food, I like the dinner plate. Have not eaten inside but on pickup orders the staff is nice. Tofu soup is good too. They get the spice level correct according to how you order it. Mild is still very flavorful.

Was invited by a friend. First time eating Korean food .. Greeted by beautiful owner , seated and order was selected by my friend. Large amounts of little cups filled with a variety of dishes unfamiliar to me being an All American foodie lol I stick with the traditional and easy terryaki chicken and white rice ..
I'm not as food adventurous as I thought . Lovely owner
Fast service. Good quality . Tasty.

No "all you can eat" here.
If you are a fan of Korean BBQ you'd be disappointed here.
We ordered a beef BBQ combo for 2 people that came with 3 types of beef, kimchi condiments, a tofu soup, rice, and lettuces (2 leaves of green lettuce and 2 leaves of sesame leaves).
The meat tasted just ok, the ribs were still frozen, and the rice was dry. I asked for more lettuces and they brought a few more leaves and charged $3 for that.
I had added seafood to my tofu soup and the most disappointed part here was they used frozen medley seafood which doesn't taste fresh at all.
The staff were friendly and helpful. There are 2 people serving more than 10 tables during the busy lunch time.
