User Reviews

Absolutely loved our stop here. Ambience was great. Service was attentive. We found a table pretty quickly. And the most important- the food was amazing. Just fresh ingredients with well prepared plates and great quality. I highly recommend

All Koreans can agree that this is the most authentic Korean restaurant in NYC, reminiscent of home cooked food. The lady working there always ensures that your ban chan (complimentary side dishes) are refilled and is super friendly. Whenever I come, I always order the cod roe omelet and nutritious vegetables rice. Overall, you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes here, and be sure to check out their summer menu while it lasts!

Everything was perfect! Food coming out fast and delicious, the waitresses are all super kind and helpful in getting every table well served. We got the seafood pancake, tofu stews, and spicy seafood dish. Savory and tasty, with very good portion size. Could be super busy during dinner time, so make sure be there early. We were there when they just open yet the tables quickly filled up.

No wonder this place has a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Every single dish I tried is just immaculate. The dishes are very authentic while being upgraded. Their cod roe rolled omelette has a fluffy texture perfectly complemented by the drizzled sauce. Their bibimbap is honestly one of the best I’ve had. The flavors complement each other so well. Their barchan is not to be underestimated and their dessert is surprisingly very tasty, especially their ice cream.

Stopped in around 3pm on a Saturday. They were extremely busy, there were people waiting outside. I got on the waiting list for a party of one and waited only about 20 minutes. They had a convenient service, where I received a text when table was ready. Place was packed full of people. The tables are separated with a divider so that a four-person table can fit two separate pairs of two. I've never really tried authentic Korean food before so I was unsure what to order. I did know that they make homemade tofu so that was a must-try. Once the service took some time before my order was taken. That's understandable they were extremely busy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. A nice assortment of complimentary starters were provided and all very tasty. I have very little idea what each one was. I ordered the grilled tofu appetizer platter, and spicy chicken entree with a side of mushroom rice that I totally did not need. All of the food was so tasty, so delicious and beautiful at the same time. The spicy parts had just enough heat to my liking. The flavors were through the roof. Warning though I was sweating and eyes watering by the end of my meal. I would chalk that up to the extreme overeating I did. I absolutely loved the heat level. The tofu platter came with cold pickled octopus which was so delicious enough to eat on its own. Also came with some interesting sweet seaweed and kimchi, assumption was that I should be layering these things on each piece of tofu. Was a very good assumption, great combination of flavors. The spicy chicken dish was fantastic, and very filling. The side of mushroom rice came out an extra cost and was more food than I needed, but pretty tasty from what I enjoyed. I'd say the prices were just right. Appropriate for what you're getting. I can't wait to come back and try something new. Highly highly recommend this restaurant.

One of my favorite Korean restaurants serving top quality tofu and the food tastes like home cooking. There's usually a wait if you dine in. Ordered take out plenty of times too. The restaurant setting is lovely in a traditional Korean wood house. Really liked that we could upgrade to fancy up the rice that comes with the tofu soup. The mushroom rice and vegetable rice were both very nice with well cooked grains. The mushroom rice was the only sugar free item on the menu that my husband who cannot have refined sugar could eat. The servers were all friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my time at this restaurant. My favourite was the seaweed tofu soup as it had a clean seafood broth that just cleansed your palate. The portion for what we ordered was nice. The servers were really attentive despite the full restaurant. Worth trying for a Korean cuisine experience. There was about a 40 mins wait and the only way to get waitlisted was with a phone number.

Worth the wait! My favorite Korean restaurant from now on. I’d wanted to try this place for many times. It was always a long line and don’t take a reservation until you get there. Luckily, we got the table right away this time. The best home made tofu I’ve ever had. I also enjoyed other dishes. Pear Makgeolli was so good! Please order a bottle size if you like to drink.;-) Spicy seafood tofu stew was just perfect. The mushroom rice and Samgyetang was fantastic. The smell of food was so good! You won’t be disappointed.
