Truly one of the best places to eat on 21st St. they’re super fast with to go. The rice bowls are fantastic. The ribs are almost as good as some of the places I’ve eaten (Arthur Bryants, Oklahoma Joe’s etc) in Kansas City for bbq. I walk out of there super happy every time I finish a meal there.

Just had the Short Ribs with the house special hot sauce and in a food coma of delight. I will be making this a more frequent lunch option.

*Wing week 2018*- The pork bun, maubai, and the wings were all killer. The wings had a kick that grew over time but was controlled by the subtle but everso pleasent smokey undertones. The spicy had flavor also, pair that with the kimchi-ranch and this is yet another winning dish. All around kickass place that will make you consider ordering some to take home halfway through the meal *burger week 2018* the sliders were delightful with great buns, sauce and all around feel. They went with American chez which isn't real cheese but that being the only mark down isn't enough to keep me from coming back

First time here, and heading back to Asia, so maybe the only time. I hate to give 5 stars on one visit, but my bibimbap with smoked pork was amazing.

Small little joint that’s great for their bibimbaps. The kimchi trio is a LOT of kimchi, so make sure you’re sharing if you order it!

One of the most remarkable meals I have eaten. From the citron Soju to the kimchi flight to the happy family (three meat entree) each of the flavors was unique in my experience and amazingly good. If you get the Happy Family, try each meat with its adjacent sauce. They are perfectly paired.

I tried the pulled pork bun and bowl. The meat was deliciously smokey, way more than half the "bbq" places I have been to. I was quiet pleasantly surprised. They also have two great ipa's so it was a hit for me. The sauces are on display to taste before ordering which is a bonus. I would for sure recommend popping in here to sit down or take out if in the area.

Great little place, tasty. We did the bowl + Galbi short rib, I like the KJG Gochujang sauce, but all are great. Pulled pork steamed bun is delicious.
