This resto is conveniently located inside Pats supermarket which is great 👍 because you can pick up homemade good food after grocery shopping 🛒. So extra points here for that. I have tried their food over the years before and I am happy 😁 to report that they are consistently good and fresh. I didn’t get it this time but I really enjoy their noodles 🍜 as well. Especially the cold noodles and the Jajang noodles etc. This is a 5 star 🌟 restaurant serving homemade Korean dishes. Treat yourself to some good 👍 and honest Korean fare served by a hardworking local mom and pop restaurant. Happy eats everyone 😎

I ordered the pork bone soup for the low low price of $13.99. I had to wait a bit since they just opened (probably for the rice to cook) and I would’ve prepared my stone pot to be bubbling even more (I like my food super hot). I would’ve liked more side dishes, it was like 2 bites of each of the kimchi, fish cake and seaweed. I wonder if I can ask for more…. Anyway, back to the main dish. The pork bones were meaty, the meat fell right off the bone, good flavours and it didn’t have big pieces of potatoes to prop up the meat (I just got a small piece of potato). I thoroughly enjoyed the dish and I can’t wait to go back to try the other items on their menu!

Seems like a change in management because it used to be great. The food now is low quality and not worth visiting. I got fried chicken and it was barely any chicken mostly breading. Quite a disappointing experience. -------------------------------- Previous review: Underrated hidden spot inside PAT supermarket. Great place to get delicious Korean food. You order through the supermarket cashier and then receive an order number to pick up on the other side. I got the bibim naengmyeon to go and was super delicious! I would totally come back to visit again to try out other dishes.

Do not recommend - seems there was a change in owner or chef as the food quality took a severe nose dive. See pictures for the sorry excuse for sweet & sour pork... there is more breading than meat! Jjajangmyeon we ordered was also absolutely bland. A pity as we liked to drop by here when came grocery shopping... but we won't be returning here.

Please only get these 2 items on the menu when you go to this restaurant: Jajangmyeon and Jjampong This place does it better than any other restaurant that I have been to so far. And if they change the recipe for these 2 in the future, this would go to a 1 star The rest of the items are not worth the money or trash. If anything, you can buy some meatballs from the PAT Supermarket to serve as an appetizer

We were craving for Korean food .we ordered jajangmyon and pork bone soup . First time trying here . Very disappointing. I would not come back.

kimchi jjigae was not too spicy and had a lot of tofu and kimchi, but I wished it had more pork inside the soup.

CAUTION: Stay away from it. The food is terrible and disgusting (sorry I have to use this word). We used to go there for Korean sausage soup. We haven’t been there for a while as it’s a bit far away from our home. It seems the owner/chef has changed. Some items have been taken out from the menu. They don’t serve Korean sausage soup anymore. So I ordered Kalbi (short beef rib) soup, the most expensive item from the menu. It’s SO BAD AND DISGUSTING!!! The beef rib must be frozen for years! It was tough, chewy, and had strong refrigerator smell!! Yucky!!! I only had one bite and felt so sick after eating it. The jiajiang is also bland. The noodles were overcooked too. I felt SO SICK after eating it. Very sad and disappointing :(
