Lazy day = takeout food time. Very solid mom-and-pop-style Korean food. Chunky beef yuni jajang sauce with bouncy noodles. As a nitpick the sauce could've used slightly less salt and sugar but no biggie at all; still scarfed it down. Super crispy sweet & sour pork. Pretty addicting actually; I was mindlessly eating pieces of it dipping the pieces in the housemade sweet & sour sauce like as if they were Filipino lumpia (IYKYK). Would make a great party/potluck addition actually if ordered in bulk lol.Hefty portions. Each of these ordered items can feed 3 maybe even 4 people easily.

Clean spacious place selling Korean style Chinese food. jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce with noodle) can be a little too greasy but jjamppng (spicy seafood soup with noodle) is very good.

Unassuming restaurant inside a previously running market. I believe it's now just fully a restaurant, but there might be some small things like snacks or ramen that you can purchase from what I saw. Service is okay, but food is generously portioned and very good! I love chinese/korean food and this place has all the classics! Jajamyeong, jjampong, and sweet and sour pork (although I went for sweet/spicy chicken this time). Everything was flavorful but I wish things labeled spicy were spicy, it felt more like a slight kick.

Have come here several times for black bean noodles and their jjampong! I am always pleased and satisfied after the meal. You're paying for a LARGE quantity and usually, the dishes are consistent in taste and quality. It's a small and hidden restaurant inside a grocery market, but absolutely a gem. The service is also quick and friendly!

The food here is so delicious and I love bringing my family here. The dishes are family style and we always have leftovers. Food tastes like homemade Korean food. Highly suggest the jajangmyeon and the spicy chicken.

Delicious and affordable Korean restaurant that serves big portions of food! Their jampong is a must try. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the broth was so flavorful. The jajangmyeon was good, but it was a little bland and slightly bitter to me. I liked how they gave cold barley tea, and some side dishes!Service was quick and the worker was attentive. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. They also have a little market area where they sell instant ramen and a variety of freezer items, such as ice cream. I will be coming back soon to try other items because everything on the menu looks so yummy and worth!

Seafood jajangmyeon was really good!! Big enough for a meal for 2. Loved the seafood they put in there and the flavor of the noodles was delicious. The texture of the noodles were also perfect. The service was good and fast. It was pretty empty in there but the food came out pretty quick. Vibe is a mini Korean market with a lil restaurant inside. They also offer takeout, just order at the counter.

This restaurant seems like an extension of Smile Market #1 and is no frills. They serve some traditional Korean comfort foods that are not as popular as kbbq. The tangsoyook (fried pork strip dish) and jjampong were some of the best I've had. This is my go-to place for these two dishes.

This is the best spot in town for jjajangmyeon or black bean noodles! Not only is it super affordable, but their jjajangmeyon is also very tasty. The sauce is not too salty with nice chewy noodles. They also give plenty of noodles! If you are in the mood for something spicy, they also have jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) here too. It's very spacious inside and you can pretty much pick any open table. Service is fast and efficient and the food comes out fairly quick!

I've been to Smile 4 times now, and I'm always very satisfied by the food & portion size! I normally get their Jjampong, Jajangmyeon, and Tangsuyuk. They have plenty of seating & parking here, and the service is fast & efficient! I came here most recently with a party of 6 and we had a great time. Food was delicious. Last time I came here, the jjampong was a bit too spicy but this time it was perfect. Also tried the white jjampong for a safer taste and I enjoyed it! But I definitely prefer the dish with the spice to complement it. Great place & great value for when I'm craving these dishes. Our total after splitting family style was less than $20 per person! Also don't forget to get your groceries & snacks at the Smile grocery store down the street afterwards :) Their kimchi is so good!
