- MarcosMarch 8, 2015It is a very good reasonably priced restaurant. I like the beef short ribs, the beef is very tender and well seasoned. I like the 5 or 6 small appetizer plates placed on table as one sits down.Upvote7DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
- Amazing tofu soup. One of my favorite Korean places, ever. I usually go for the mushroom tofu soup, but it's all good. I love the banchan here too! Very authentic, great and fast service!Upvote5Downvote
- Raymond PeckMay 12, 2017I always get the haemul soondooboo (seafood tofu soup) and daeji bulgogi (spicy pork), my favorite Korean restaurant. Cell service is non-existent and dining area is loud but still worth it.Upvote5Downvote
- Pam ☕️ OSeptember 12, 2016Can get crowded but it's a great lunch spot for a change of pace in Palo Alto. I recommend the spicy tofu soup with kimchi and bulgogi.Upvote1Downvote
- Not necessarily the best Korean restaurant around Stanford, but everyone has heard about it and been there. It's close to Escondido Village. The line is usually long but it's worth the wait.Upvote1Downvote
- Sherry LiMay 30, 2015Private parking lot but gets busy on a Friday night. Wait wasn't too long and turnover is fast. Tofu soup is legit. Good banchan too.UpvoteDownvote
- Kelly 🍰November 28, 2011Open Sunday! Generous sizzling BBQ platter portions. Soon dubu is on point, and if you ask, will give you the spiciest in the Bay area. Ban chan includes kimchee with oysters! YumUpvoteDownvote
- You'll smell like Korean food after you're done. Really the only Korean restaurant in palo alto so it's usually very crowded by 6pm. Get here at 5:30 pm and you're good to goUpvoteDownvote
- Caroline DengJune 26, 2015Vegetable tofu is really good, but I'd recommend getting it medium spicy at least. Service is typical Asian service (aka nonexistent) but at least the male waiter is hella cute.UpvoteDownvote
- Kelley L.October 29, 2016Bibimbap is excellent. I usually go for the beef as the meat.UpvoteDownvote

- Can't go wrong with the house specials.UpvoteDownvote
- Armelle GoreuxApril 11, 2015Soup used to be a lot better in my opinion but still alright. Bibimbap is good. The cold noodle soups are a bit expensive. And... The dokboki is actually really good.UpvoteDownvote
- Karan BediNovember 19, 2014The beef bibimbap was outstanding. The bulgogi was also pretty good.UpvoteDownvote

- Alice FangJune 17, 2015Soft tofu with cheese tastes better than it might sound, if you want a slightly creamier soup baseUpvoteDownvote

- Cristina CasasDecember 31, 2018I was coming with high hopes, but I left the place very disappointed. The bbq chicken isn't bbq, too much sugar on it. the beef bibimbap was ok. I don't recommend it and,obviously, I'm not coming backUpvoteDownvote

- Angela WenNovember 5, 2014Don't get the cheese soondubu unless you like cheetos flavored soup. It's not melted on top it's mixed in. Stick with the basics!UpvoteDownvote
