Oh so much YES to this place! This is gem of Korean restaurants, well technically deli style or market style. We swung by after a day at Disneyland (it's only about 15 minutes from the park) and instantly greeted by a younger girl and older Korean Auntie, both were super sweet and friendly!
They have a HUGE selection of foods all packed and ready to go - soups, salads, frozen mandu and donkatsu, kimbap, tteokbokki, pickles, salads, and more. We almost got overwhelmed by the selection!
We asked about a few items and the young girl was more than happy to help us out. We ultimately decided on a vegan roll, bulgogi roll, tteokbokki, and mungean pancakes which came to $32 even. For the amount of food - and later we found out the quality and flavors - this was more than reasonable!
The bulgogi kimbap was amazing. Fresh, crunchy, and pickled veggies rolled with great rice, fresh seaweed, and tender bulgogi that is sweet and savory. A bit dry but flavorful nonetheless.
The vegan roll wasn't my personal favorite but my parents loved it, again full of fresh veggies and crunchy pickles.
The mungbean was a favorite among all of us, it's kinda hard to describe the flavor but it's truly incredible. You get three in the package and they're hearty, crispy, fluffy, and full of veggies.
Lastly the tteokbokki, it's made slightly different here since they had a hardboiled egg and more fish flavor. At first I couldn't quite figure out what it was since I wasn't used to it but it can be a bit fishy for some so fair warning! It's also not too spicy, it gives you a good kick at first but slowly mellows out. It's thick, rich and creamy! The rice cakes are so chewy and soft they have the perfect texture. The rice cakes are also soft and spongey while the egg is the perfect pairing to the sauce.
This place is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to come back for more!
