COUNTER SERVICE BUT PAY AFTER EATING Attached to a convenience store so easy access to buy whatever drink you want. They bring out the (4) banchan with the entrees. Their FISH CAKE was so good! There was a chew & sweetest to it that was the best I've tasted in a while. They also gave a side of MISO SOUP (5/5) #51 HAEMUL-PAJUN (SEAFOOD PANCAKE): Massive! This is meant to be shared with at least 4 people. We got a total of 8 slices. Was only able to eat one piece to save room for the entrees. Pop this leftover in the air fryer & you have the perfect snack for the next day. (4/5) #02 DOLSOT BIBIMBAP (HOT STONE POT RICE): They loaded it up with plenty of veggies that it was a bit hard to mix. The meat was like ground beef but there wasn't a lot of it. The bibimbap sauce added the perfect of amount of savory & spice. (4/5) # 28 CHAJANGMYUN (BLACK BEAN NOODLE): No meat in this. Not sure if you can ask to add pork. Quite filing with the chunk of potatoes. This can definitely be split with another person. Satisfied my craving

First time going back to our old favorite lunch spot since stupid COVID, a Korean restaurant tucked inside a convenience store. So glad to see our Hispanic lady is still holding down the fort all these years and she didn't yell at me today for being a pain in the ass.We got the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup (ChamPong), Pan-fried Atka Mackerel, a top pick of ours, and Ox Bone Soup (SuLongTang). Food is excellent as usual, it's also nostalgic to return to this spot that we frequented years ago, before the foodie culture. I miss the sweet dessert rice drink they used to put out, it's getting tighter for small business owners, I understand.I got the winning ticket for tomorrow's lottery, my ass is gonna burn because of the spiciness, Monkeypox is gonna kill us all, eat some good food, hug your loved ones, and have a magnificent week.

Really delicious, even when arriving by UberEats! We ordered a bunch and pretty much everything hit the spot. Would totally order again :DThe pajeon (savory pancake) was soft by the time it got to us (crisp it up with some air fryer magic!), but it still got a thumbs up for flavor and how packed it was with green onions and seafood. Didn't need the dipping sauce IMO!The kalbi is on the sweet side and some of the better ones I've had; it doesn't have the char or smokiness but I like it since it wasn't smothered in sauce. The tofu stew is definitely on the more tangy / kimchi flavored side, but it was still great with the perfectly cooked, slightly sticky white rice. Side dishes like the kimchi and veggies added that healthy part of your meal. MmmMmm! The only thing I'd skip next time would be the jajangmyeon-- the black bean noodles. It was well packaged with a huge portion of the sauce, but guess I'm not a huge fan, as it didn't taste like much. The noodles were nicely cooked and also generously portioned out. If I'm "feeling Korean food," I'd pick this place again... might actually have to visit them in person some day! The food was well packaged, well portioned, and (probably) made with lots of *sarang* (Korean for love)! :)

A true hole on the role restaurant. Nothing special but everything was delicious. Don't expect anything fancy or best service. You are here for the food

Hole in the wall place with GREAT Korean.If you are looking for proper restaurant with great atmosphere, skip this place. But if you want great food, come try this restaurant that shares the same space with convenient store where you can order food and buy a drink from the convenient store...pull up a chair and enjoy some good food. I had the Kalbitang - cooked perfectly and served with super tasty banchan. My new go to place for after tennis/workout "fast food".

Pretty outstanding mom and pop Korean food joint nestled in the middle of a convenience store. Yep, you heard me. Now that I think about it, I've had some of the best food in settings like this from the northern Vietnamese Pho in Prague, to the Thai/Lao food in Brussels. Now here in our awesome H-town. The yukhaejang (beef and veggie soup) was one of the better if had in Houston. Spicy enough, deep flavor in the stock, nice ratio of meet to veggies. If you're new to this dish, think of it like Korean ropa vieja, but soupy. My wife got the selleongtang (oxe bone soup), and you can taste the glucosamine-sticky goodness in the soup. Not the biggest array of banchan, but enough and good quality for a quick and reasonably priced meal. The haemul paejon (seafood pancake) is GINORMOUS and well executed. Comes with the quintessential pancake crack-sauce (my name for it), and you can ask for spicy gojujang on the side.

A korean restaurant in southwest houston located inside a convince store. There was a lot of good things about this place, the food was affordable, and the ladies that attended me were nice (a plus because i speak Spanish too) , and the banchan was really good! The fish cakes were my faveee. I ordered jjajangmyeon and while the portion was huge and a steal for only $12 , it really didn't taste like anything...even with the chili powder which made me upset because i really wanted to like this. Hopefully I can try other dishes soon.

This was a proper hole in the wall. We walked in and were surprised by it being an extension to a convenience store. Seated in front of a freezer with an interesting selection of cheap wines and eggs, my boyfriend and I ordered the #2 bibambap and #8(?) kimchi fried rice. It was so damn good. Less than 15 mins, the lady brought out two steaming bowls with an assortment of sides. Water is not included btw. No biggie, my boyfriend walked less than 200 feet to the right to buy drinks. Super convenient. Their prices are probably the best in the area. For that alone, it's 5 stars. Also, the bathroom door actually opens to another door. Don't confused by this, it's like a little test of persistence. Open the second door. This place is no bullshit. You ask, they deliver. Don't come if you're looking for an inviting environment. That said, my faith in hole in the walls have been restored. Love it.
