I’ve been coming here occasionally the past three years to get their caramel frappe drink and chicken cutlet dish. The caramel frappe is so good! Something about the drink flavor and texture is so addicting. It is quite sweet so if you are not a fan of a sweeter bev I would probably ask them for other recommendations. The chicken cutlet dish is so good too and the portion is large for me so can take home and reheat later. The chicken is super crispy exactly how I want my crispiness to come out too! I would definitely recommend to try this place!
This place was an amazing hidden gem. As someone with food allergies the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. She came to our table and made sure I did not eat the snow ice because it wasn’t safe for me. In addition she was just extremely attentive and understanding so that made this experience amazing. == food review == The food was really good, and had a comfort food vibe to me. The first image is of the seaweed oyster porridge. The second was the Bulgogi Octoupus porridge, and that was amazing it had a very hearty flavor. The spices were nice and simple and had a similar vibe to a chicken stew/white chili. I will say the octopus pieces were tiny but overall it was great and I would order again. The naengmyun was also delicious but it’s such a simple dish it’s hard to go wrong. I did find it slightly too sweet for me but I mixed in the spicy sauce and that made it better. Lastly I took a photo of the golden snow ice, which I was informed was delicious too
First time visiting was pleasant. Wanted to try the Korean hot dogs and went for the potato covered one. It was SO delicious and cooked to order. The cheese and hot dog filling was flavorful and the exterior crust pure perfection! Will definitely go back to try a few more items, especial their wall of ramen and other Korean corn dog options!
The vegetable and mushroom juk is so warm and comforting. It’s the perfect pick-me-up when you’re getting over a cold. I love the kimchi here too. They have a wide variety on their menu.
The food was just perfect. The portions were amazing. I really enjoyed eating the bibimbap. There were so many varieties that I didn’t have to worry about being hungry. Very filling. It was so colorful that the presentation itself was appetizing. The Korean corn dogs were crispy just the way I like them
My boys and I come here pretty often and get various things depending on the mood. But we always close out with some Mango Bingsoo and it’s always great. It’s been our favorite so far and haven’t ventured out to try the other flavors. But how can you, Mango Bingsoo got chunks of mango, chunks of mochi and corn flakes then drizzled with some condensed milk, the textures you go through as you eat through the bowl is amazing! The food portions are huge, it’s more than enough for two people and the service is great and fast. There’s always seating available. We love coming here!
