This place is the truth. The food is exemplary, the service is spot on, and the place is clean. The seating is spacious. The food here is served family style rather than individual and is priced as such. So let's start off with the service. All the ladies there are more than happy to help you and they're always on the move. They check in and are prompt with getting you whatever you request from them. They even asked if we wanted an extra pair of chopsticks for the table to use. They have salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar, and green onion. The seol leong tang was warm and comforting. Unlike a good bit of reviewers, I actually read that you have to salt and pepper it yourself. The cheese galbi was excellent. They meat was cooked so it was fall off the bone tender but still kept its shape. The rest of the ingredients were all the same. Tender while holding its shape. These were the best rice cakes we've had. Not too much heat though. Like 1/8th of a jalapeno. The banchan were great. Not too salty. Not too sour. Great flavor. Limited to just cabbage, cucumber, and daikon. You get a Yakult to wash everything down. They just keep it cool though, not cold, sadly.

As a Korean, I can confidently say this place is the real deal. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the cozy, bustling atmosphere of a true Korean eatery—complete with Korean aunties (ajummas) moving quickly between tables, making sure everyone is well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. The galbijjim (braised short ribs) was perfectly spicy and full of flavor. Every dish felt like it was made with care, and the quality of the ingredients really came through. The side dishes (banchan) were outstanding—especially the kimchi, which was so good it reminded me of home. In Korea, we say that if a place makes good kimchi, they do everything well—and this place proves it. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. I had such a satisfying and nostalgic experience here, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

The soup is so flavorful but tastes clean and refreshing. It's great that it is served unsalted so that you can spice it up with the condiments as you wish. I enjoyed eating their pickles sides just as much as the main meal.

Honestly I'm very confused about the service I got here. It's my first time coming here, and the attitude of the staff was like I owed them something even when I was thanking them for bringing water and the dishes. What was especially annoying was that after they placed the banchan in the middle of the table, they put the cheese maeun galbi jjim even beyond that, so it was literally on the opposite end of the table from me (dining solo) and I had to get up to grab it and pull it to my side of the table. This is my first time trying galbi and I was disappointed to learn that it's really just the kind of beef my mom stews relatively frequently. Meat was tender for sure, but nothing special. The pumpkin slices were not cooked thoroughly so were still firm, and the rice cake was tasteless. Banchan was just three dishes instead of the variety seen in other reviews. One of them was just two or three pieces and none were filled. For what ended up being a $100 meal, I really expected more of the service and of the food.

This place is amazing! I've been going here for ages, and I'm always so happy. The soup is like a warm hug for my insides, seriously. It's definitely gotten pricier lately, but honestly, everything has, right? Still worth it, every single time! Recommend you look at the menu while waiting for your table. because once you sit the korean aunties "server" will be coming by fast to take your order. Food also comes fast. Good fast polite services. Recommend best in the bay area

We were a group of 5 and we shared three dishes. Ox tail, beef shank and skate. All were very good. Service as good but be ready to order.

The food was just okay overall. I found the soup to be bland and lacking flavor. The wait time was quite long. However, the service was excellent—attentive and friendly. They also served three side dishes with the meal, which were absolutely delicious and a highlight of the dining experience.

This place has a great atmosphere—clean and tidy. The service is fast. It's an excellent spot for Korean soup; the ox tail soup is rich and flavorful. The short ribs are tender and delicious, with a strong, savory taste. When you have no appetite on a hot summer day, Korean cold noodles here are the perfect choice.
