    True mom and pop establishment. Service and food are both a great value here. Can get crowded at dinnertime. save room for dessert since there's many good options in this… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Upgrade to the STONE-POT Bibimbap. Don't touch the pot (YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF), and resist the urge to mix immediately. You will be rewarded with a crispy rice bottom. Mix in the spicy sauce and nom!

    Come early to beat the line and get the cleanest table. They open at 11 and save some cash by getting the lunch special Tue-Fri 11am-3pm (Except Holidays)

    Good no-frills, homestyle Korean food. The actual restaurant is tiny and always packed, but you can get takeout or delivery (through Postmates). I like the soft tofu soup and cold noodles (naengmyeon)

    Dol-sot bibimbap. Good tofu soup and decent kalbi. But the bibimbap! Break the egg, add the sauce and mix with the rice, grated vegetables and marinated beef. Scrape off crust on bottom, a delicacy.

    Everything I've had here has been great. I especially like the sweet and spicy chicken wings and bimbimbap. Often there's a wait, it's a small space. The owner is very friendly.

    Best ramen I've had in a long time. Family owned place with amazing good-quality Korean dishes for a fair price.

    The dukbokki or tteokbokki was pretty excellent, the yukgaejang here was good, and the mul naeng myun was yummy. The chicken wings were more Chinese-style than Korean, but good nonetheless.

    If you get the bibimbap, make sure to get it in the stone bowl! Adds to the experience.

    Really good food. Place seats about 25 to 30 people- super small, but service is great. I thought the portions were small, but filling enough. Get kalbi really tasty and don't forget duk bok ki.

    Super small - Expect to wait a while if you come in the evening. They also don't always bring food out at the right time. One of our appetizers came when we were 3/4 of the way done with dinner.

    my go-to spot for korean food (& kimchi fried rice!!). go during non-peak hours -- the wait sometimes gets long bc they have limited seating.

    Lunch specials are a bargain. Also they'll customize the banchan to your liking. Chicken wings and BBQ pork are epic!

    Soft tofu stew is a good hearty deal. Get your Korean fix at a reasonable price (unlike other Korean joints in the city)

    Tiny, sometimes longish lines but never more than 30min. You will leave smelling of food. Seafood pancake!
