I'm shocked by the one star reviews, even though they're not many of them. It's a little sus, maybe people don't want you to visit this place... This restaurant is immediately going on my best of the best for home style, delicious, comfortable, and friendly food and environment. I came in for lunch and was helped promptly, and my table was clean and ready to go- the people were incredibly friendly and ordering and receiving my food happened super fast. From the complimentary tea, to the small appetizers, and the combo I ordered- everything met my expectations savory and delicious stomach warming food.

Food was amazing! Service was excellent! My grandma loves places that bring out all the sides and she doesn't have any near where she lives. This place was a huge hit for her and made her day! She wanted to go back the next day but they were closed. However, will bring her here next time she visits as many times as she wants. I will also be going back on my own and with friends.

Let's talk solid cooked by your aunt food - this place ambiance wise will make it seem questionable. But I swear, it's worth it. If you're easily icked out by ambiance then get to-go. This place is akin to those dodgey Korean restaurants seen in k-dramas where they slang back soju after a long day. It's located next to a seedy Korean kareoke bar. The auntie working up front might be busy when you enter, but she's very attentive once you sit down. We loved the combo options here for food, for $28 each we got an entree and it came with a soondonu (soft tofu) soup. You can also pick a diff soup. She also served side dishes with this. We were so friggin stuffed!! Fried mackerel is deep fried, and for bibimbap you can upgrade to dolsot bibimbap (hot stone bowl) for an extra $4. She asked if we wanted more side dishes about 2 times. I would return as the flavors here are super solid but don't expect regular restaurant service? Its very mom and pop but flavors are worth the sit.

Four stars for the sweet absolute kind workers and owners!!! Four stars for the attention, careful and thoughtfulness of the servers!! Only my second visit and loving the hole in the wall vibe with super dated interior.....Korean old songs playing in the background, definitely giving me old skool Korean vibes!! Four stars!!! As mentioned only tried twice and with such a huge menu and specials....Im starting with 4 STARS!! But definitely recommended because you can't hate the $28 special combos!!! Trust me I've looked and compared but nothing like this thus far in my failed search efforts, so it's a welcomed addition to my personal Korean fix rotation!!! Thus far the Cold noodles with homemade stock was good enough and Kalbi fair amount with good marinade and tender! Sundubu chigae was ok but has potential? But cannot wait to try more menu items on my next visit?

This is my favirite korean spot in town! The people are really nice and the restaurant is clean and cozy. Not to mention all the food is super fresh and delicious, with equally great banchan (the little side dishes, for the un-initiated), which is both endless and complimentary here! My personal favorite dishes are the pork and squid stirfry, which has fresh squid and super tender and meaty porkbelly, as well as the beef pancake, which is very tender and delicious! Their soups are great as well and have very tender braised meat. I'd also reccomend their very crispy seafood or kimchi pancakes (very different from the beef one)! The only item I would avoid is the spicy chicken, as it uses breast and is a little dry, but everything else is really phenominal! I'd reccomend this spot to any and everyone in the area, it's a must try in my book!

My partner took me here for a dinner and you quickly feel the friendly welcoming from the Korean ladies who worked there. The ambiance is warm, cozy in a rustic small shop. It's authentic for a Korean restaurant vibe like in Korea. I felt like i was in Korea when I was there. We ordered a few items.. I ordered a La rib combo with tofu stew. My partner ordered spicy ramen and gyoza. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our food while there was one table beside us. They brought out all the food at once. I tried the banchan and it was delicious. One of the better quality banchan I've had. The kimchi, bean sprouts, and gamja jorim (braised potatoes) were my favorites. When they brought out the entree food, I was quite disappointed for the portion size. There were probably 6 small pieces of ribs for $28. I think it's a bit overpriced for the portion but I do believe the quality is there. Everything tasted good. Ribs were tender. Tofu stew has a kick and flavorful so was the ramen. Overall the food was good.. but not sure if it's worth coming back :/

Wow, I've been sleeping on this spot for waaay too long. Was always a bit sketched out by the exterior of the place but after some research I convinced myself to give them a try and I couldn't be happier! The inside is cozy and rustic. They used a lot of wood and decors to mimick a Korean suburban home. The aunties working there couldn't be friendlier, tbh this might be the warmest service we've got at a Korean place in OR. They gave us time to look over the menu, ask questions, and constantly filling up our drinks and banchans. It's amazing. They offer pretty typical Korean items but a good variety and at more reasonable prices, especially at the portion that they give you. Plus, their food was AMAZING. It really felt like you've been invited to eat at a Korean's friend house and their mom is cooking. Everything tasted so homey and fresh, we couldn't help but devored everything we ordered. We got the Meat Pancake which were thin slices of meat battered in egg and fried; don't knock it until you've tried it. It's such a comfort food. The spicy sauce went so well with it too. Another thing we got was the Spicy Galbijjim. Definitely the pricier item on the menu and I would say it's a bit too overpriced for the pot of stew that we got but they did give us meaty pieces of short ribs. This was a bit different from other galbijjim that I've had. On the soupier side but the broth was tasty and slighty sweet. The meat was super tender and absorbed a lot of the flavors from the broth. Again, a very comforting dish especially on a cold day. Nothing beats yummy Korean dishes with a side of hot rice. This spot really surprised and won us over. They're definitely contending for the best Korean place we've been in OR. We shall be back!

What a local gem! I'm so glad we decided to try this place. We visited on a Friday shortly after 5pm and there were only a couple other tables seated, so we basically had the place to ourselves but the vibe was energetic because they were steady preparing to go orders the entire time we were there. We were greeted immediately upon entering and promptly seated. We ordered the short ribs, japchae and bulgogi. Everything tasted great! So great that I didn't even get pictures of everything because I was too excited to eat! My favorite thing though was the kimchi. I had really been craving some good kimchi and I was not disappointed. I also loved the rest of the banchan - the broccoli, the cucumbers, the Mac salad, the bean sprouts, the sweet potatoes - it was all amazing and perfectly complimented the meat. And I just I love me some Korean short ribs with onions - yum. Seriously, this meal was incredible and my review isn't really doing it justice. Like I could easily have gone back the next day to eat it all over again. Service was great - fast, friendly, easy. Looking forward to my next visit!
