Personal favorite and most affordable KBBQ place I know of in the Philly area. Loved the banchan and chicken dishes. They even gave us a tofu soup which I wasn't expecting! We ate downstairs, and the ambiance feels like your in your grandmother's home. Very cozy and simple.

Party of 5 dined in for lunch on labor's dayPork belly meat used to be $18 for i guess one serving but now its $54 something for two serving and marinated chicken i used to like was 47? For two serving We ordered pork belly meat for two serving and marinated chicken for two serving Side of fermented kimchi and seasoned bean sprout. 4 serving already and then we added rice to mix in so we can have fried rice in itSo we spent nearly $150 including tips so decent cost but then the new owner (since pandemic per owner) spoke and acted like we are eating for less price We ordered additional vege/lettuce which is at free of charge but she said "you guys ordering expensive things" we never heard of or been treated for ordering more lettuce For the rice , they only added sesame oil and dried black seaweed , (used to come with chopped lettuce and sauce etc) but charged extra 15 which we could have just ordered rice and add ourselves for less cost I dont know if overall price was worth it or not

You know the food of a certain ethnicity is going to be great when you see groups of old people of the same ethnicity, all speaking the native language, eating at a place. This was no exception.The food was amazing and plentiful for how moderate the price was. And the service was very friendly.

This place is an unpretentious, wholesome, and authentic Korean bbq restaurant. Portions are generous, price is good, and everything is delicious. It's hard to find a korean bbq where the meat, jjigae, and banchan are all good. Even the egg soufflé was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. They have the biggest griddle on the table I've ever seen. Kimchee fried rice at the end on the griddle was just a cherry on top. Highly recommend this little gem.

The only restaurant that sells jokbal in Philly, I think. Jokbal wasn't a five-star quality pig feet. But I was glad that at least one restaurant served jokbal. Budae jjigae was very delicious. Not salty. Not watery. Good portion. But the RICE WAS DELICIOUS. This is not your ordinary rice. It is stone pot rice. But extra good. Stew and rice. This will make you fall in love. I heard their BBQ is very good. Definitely will try next time. Might not look so cozy from outside. But inside is clean and cozy.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Korean BBQ at this down to earth neighborhood restaurant. All the sides were flavorful, fresh and delicious, and the service was friendly. I will definitely be back.

I visited here with a couple of friends at Philly. Although the location is little bit away from the main H-mart area, you can easily find the location as it follows along the K-town in Cheltenham street. As you enter through the restaurant, you may get an impression that place is small, but that is not the case as there are plenty of seating areas as well as there is one more floor downstair.I've been to quite a few Korean restaurants around this area, and this place is one of the best yet as it has three components that all deserve 5 stars: (1) many variety of foods, (2) a great service, and (3) great foods. You can find almost any traditional Korea food that you can wish for, including a peculiar one like pufferfish pancake. Or, you can find any typical Korean food like soon doo bu (spicy Korean soup with soft tofu and other ingredients) and bibimbap (Korean style mixed rice with vegetables). But you can also get the Korean grilled BBQ like the one I dined in called Chicken Kalbi, which is essentially a Korean BBQ but made out of chicken with spicy paste sauce. Chicken Kalbi was just spicy enough, and it is a beauty to see it getting stirred with rice cake, yum, and other veggies. Topping that on the top of your rice and gulping down that through your mouth, you can taste the delicious chicken that happily flies inside your stomach. The service was excellent as well. Korean cuisines are famous for multiple side dishes accompanying a single order. And this place was no exception. About 8 different side dishes came together with our order of Chicken Kalbi, and the server gave another few foods to try out.I will definitely visit this place again, you should, too. Be sure to checkout my other reviews as I travel around the different parts of United States's cities to review the restaurants, cafes, etc. Thank you for reading.

If you want to find some real authentic Korean om noms with a staff that is patient and will answer your questions, I strongly recommend here. They were incredibly friendly and our server he was honest in his recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious.They had some kpop music playing upstairs in a Bluetooth speaker that faintly made its way downstairs. But it's clearly a place meant to chat over food and drinks with your family. They did appear to have a neat party room and they do Korean BBQ. So the wife and I intend to return to have that on an evening with friends sometime hopefully soon.

BE AWARE!!!! Take a picture of your merchant receipt for your tip and total amount. They cheat and manipulated our receipt making unauthorized changes on the printed receipt. This is unethical and it's fraud to change customers own handwriting to make it look different. They refunded the amount but ...... I am still in disbelief and angry. Customers should be able to give out credit cards for payment along with tip with trust. From now on I will be taking a picture of the merchant copy, since the customer copy I had did not prevent them to deliberately change the total about!!! I am beyond sick and disappointed by this business owner and was not friendly handling this situation. She first accused of the illegible writing, when we clearly had the customer receipt to compare. When I saw copy of the receipt they send me, I was astonished by how they manipulated the numbers and cheated on their own customers!! Please everyone BE AWARE and take a picture of your merchant copy with total amount. Your customer copy is not enough.
