Customer Reviews
“ Amazing place for korean comfort food. My favorite is the street noodles with the awesome sauce. I have to order two when I come here because it's so good. Also, the bossam was the highlight, so juicy, tender, and when eating with the side of pickled radish, its a perfect combo. Definitely a hole in the wall because the food is too good for the location. ”
“ The other day I was in Cerritos for work and I was craving some Korean food, but didn’t want Korean barbecue. So this place popped up. It’s a new small and pop Korean restaurant and when I first walked in it smelled so good. I asked the server to recommend me a few dishes and they all came out delicious. My favorite was the kimchi fried rice and also the pork Don Katsu. These portions here are very big so make sure you come with some friends and enjoy. I will definitely come back next time and I recommend you to try this place. ”
“ Good spot for Korean comfort food. It's located in a run down strip mall, so the location is not the best. I like that they have a variety of menu items beyond the usual bulgogi bibambak and tofu soup. Their most popular dishes are the grilled meat so I'd recommend those. The other dishes such as seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice are lackluster. The purple yam cheese cake is worth a try if you have a sweet tooth, but it just tastes the same as regular cheesecake. ”
“ We found this place while going through restaurants in the area. The food here was excellent and the staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend the pork belly or the beef lunch box. The price to portion was also pretty fair. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. ”
“ We had a delicious meal - chicken wings, bulgogi sliders, noodles and army stew. It was fun to drink Milkis and Soju as well. Parking is very easy. Service is friendly and food came out quickly and tasted delicious. This place has a great modern take on Korean street food. Will definitely be back every time we are in the area! ”
“ Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant! ”
“ Great spot for Korean comfort food. We had the grilled tteokbokki, bulgogi udon, pork belly and spicy pork. We had a side of garlic soy wings which weren't that impressive. All the other dishes were really tasty. Generous portions and decent prices. We had dinner at 6pm on Sunday and it was busy. Service was slow but likely this is just growing pains since this place is fairly new. We're definitely going back! ”
“ Nice little modern and quiet Korean restaurant with simple but savory options. I got the pork belly bento box which comes with white rice, japchae glass noodles, radish kimchi, pickled daikon, glazed wings & pork belly. They were generous with the amount rice and the sides. The wings were sweet and succulent. The pork belly was very tender a savory, I personally just enjoyed it with the radish kimchi & pickled daikon instead of the sour sauce it comes with. Friendly waitress and the food came fast. ”
