Rudely turned away 30 minutes before closing time written on door. "Last call" was belted out as the explanation with no "sorry". This is not a bar? Also their website has the wrong hours listed too.

This has been, by far, the worst experience I've had at a restaurant in a long time. And probably the worst korean food I've ever had. We debated going in the first place, because we knew we'd be arriving within an hour of closing, but our friend insisted we still go. I wish I'd gone with my gut. We arrived promptly at 7, and the first thing that happened was a shrill voice telling us to leave. They had no room and were closing. Our friend came out of the bathroom & said we were with him, and the hostess/server just walked away, didn't say anything.It took about 10 minutes for the server to clean off a table to get us seated, even though it wasn't super hectic. Their tables were mostly full, but it seemed like it wasn't a frantic pace of activity.We got seated & got menus, and ordered drinks, appetizers & main dishes. The hot sake came out in a container so hot it burned my fingers and I couldn't pour. My husband has tougher hands, so he poured for us. My friend's cup had something floating in it. They brought the main dishes out and OMG, the tofu stew was flavorless. The tofu had more flavor than the broth. It was awful. I choked some of it down but was disgusted. I tried my husbands spicy pork & it was a sweet, gingery mess, neither were like actual Korean food. Full disclosure: husband's family is Korean. We never got our appetizers.We got our check & got out of there. I don't get the high ratings for this place at all. For people serving supposedly Korean food it was severely lacking & the greeting was extremely rude. Maybe the high ratings are for the other stuff on the menu?

Bibim bowl, for the win! So delicious and such great texture with the crispy fried rice at the bottom of the hot plate. Add the special sauce and it's so yummy.Limited seating.

Oh man what a find! Small and cozy with terrific Korean food from a tiny kitchen. Good local wine. Not too noisy. The service isn't cuddly, it's efficient. I love this wee place.

Tiny obscure place, but the kind of place regulars love, I guess. Everyone was having the stone pot bibimbap so we did the same. My yakiniku meat was tender and worked well in there, but apart from that, nothing really special. Price point looks good until you pay $2 extra for the stone pan and more $ for meat choice. No banchan no frills. Also had the calamari salad. That was fine, but also not that impressive. Overall, just ok for a Korean eatery that caters to a White affluent neighborhood. I wouldn't go 30min out to eat there again.

Definitely more Korean than Japanese. Even the gyoza is non traditional. But don't get me wrong, everything was delicious and the service was wonderful.

This is my first yelp review, hi yelp, and I'm glad it's a positive one. Great food for the price. $13 bimbim bowl +$2 bulgogi (and it's a lot more food than it looks!) also tried the gyoza - yum! Ambiance was right up my alley, hole-in-the-wall cozy vibe with random things scattered about because it's a small space. Had a "neighborhood spot" feel, I'm here for it! Service was nice, can't complain there (which I usually don't complain because I used to be in service)

I really wanted to like and support this local small business but the food we had tonight was awful.I should have realized that when I was told it would be 20 mins from ordering for our pickup order to be ready that it's impossible to cook multiple dishes in that time. Every dish we ordered was extra greasy and reheated. The scallion pancake was definitely microwaved --- was so rubbery I couldn't cut it. The few dishes we ordered plus tip wasn't cheap, considering we basically couldn't eat it and regretted the small amount that we did. Will not order from here again.

Great food, reliable service and close enough to grab some easy takeout. Decor is very minimal but I love the open kitchen industrial vibe. Clean interior, good menu, nice bathroom, consistent service and food.
