Amazing Korean food!! I had an amazing time! The place is cute and clean. Loved the lights and ambiance. Not a quiet place but you are still able to talk. We had a great variety of food for a good price, the Tteokbokki was perfectly spicy and you can see my brothers reaction in the video for confirmation. The Bulgogi Cream Risotto was PERFECT. We also had the fried dumplings which were good for me as not fried food lover. The Pork Jowl with Shishito Peppers was amazing, the pork has a really good consistency. Also had a plain lemonade which has refill Service: We loved the service; they provided us with great attention and clear explanations about the dishes. When we ordered the beer, they asked us about our preferred intensity, and their recommended choice was fantastic. Very friendly

I came here on a packed Sat night. The place was dim and spacious. I loved the setup; ordering on the electronic pad reminded me of Korea! I tried the chicken gizzards with soju. The gizzards were so good! I loved how they were prepared. The service was good, too.

Great spot for Korean comfort food in Pasadena! We ordered japchae, tteokbokki, galbi, kimchi fried rice, honey garlic chicken, and spicy chicken, everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and generous in portions. Service was fantastic, our server was on point and kept the Diet Cokes coming without us asking. The space is big, has a projector and multiple TVs for watching sports, and parking is super convenient right next door (paid lot). Definitely a new go-to for casual eats and hanging out with friends.

Really fun atmosphere and friendly service. We got the honey wings, which were amazing! However, the real letdown was the udon - the broth was extremely watery and flavorless.

We had a wonderful experience at this Korean restaurant! We arrived pretty late—almost at closing time—but after calling ahead, they kindly welcomed us in. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was fantastic. We especially loved the pineapple sorbet—it wasn’t the texture we expected, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious. The fried chicken and spicy chicken feet were also excellent. Highly recommend this place for great Korean food and warm hospitality!
