From diners

  • The best classic homestyle Korean food she had found in the area, and a meal that was deeply satisfying.
    Alicia L.Yelp · April 2025
  • A repeat visitor: warm and welcoming staff, banchan that tastes traditional, and generous portions at reasonable prices. The all-Korean menu, she noted, should not put anyone off.
    Anne Theresa P.Google
  • Staff offered him an apron so the soup would not splash his shirt. He singled out the perilla-seed kalguksu.
    Khoi PhamGoogle · Kalguksu
  • Food that felt homey and lighter than the competition, with notably tender beef in the spicy beef soup and a seafood pancake big enough to share.
    monicaaGoogle · Spicy beef soup
  • The bean sprout soup, with poached egg, seaweed and a marinated shrimp sauce — low in salt by default, so you season it yourself.
    Julie KoCustomer review · Bean sprout soup
  • Shared the seafood pancake and the seafood udon; called the banchan solid and the room cosy and homey.
    Serena X.Yelp · May 2025 · Seafood pancake
  • Hearty homestyle comfort food — the group enjoyed every dish they ordered.
    Yunong ShiGoogle
  • Their all-time favourite Korean restaurant in New York, and still good value. They picked out the cold spicy noodles as properly balanced: light, a little sweet, spicy, tangy.
