This place is authentic Korean food with reasonable prices. When we came here, it was relatively busy but they were able to seat us pretty quickly. The waitress was quick to serve and get our orders. Food came out pretty quickly. Bot. naengmyeon (cold noodles) that we ordered was just enough for 2 hungry people with a small side of bossam!

Not the best Korean food I've had but dishes were solid and nothing was bad. We came here on a weekend lunch, place had a decent amount of people when we came. This is located in the same plaza as Cafe en Coffee and India Gate, which are both very solid restaurants. For food we go the Mul-naengmyeon and Kalbi Combo ($30) and Bossam (S-$28) with Tofu soup, we also got soju ($9.99). Service was a bit slow and took a while for the servers to get the menu to us. Soju was easy to drink and went well with the tasty korean food. Mul-naengmyeon-not the best i've had a little too acidic for me but noodle texture was good and portion was huge. Kalbi-tender, also not the best i've had but it came on a sizzling plate with onions Tofu soup-a little bland and too acidic Bossam-tender and came with a generous portion, not overly salty the best dish we got Each table gets 6 banchans, also nothing special but all were solid. Overall food came pretty quickly and all the dishes were filling. Would love to try the bibimbap my next visit.

Love my Korean Tofu Stew. Goes with a nice cold Terra beer. Right next to the Tesla chargers.

It was dinner time when I needed to charge my car at one of the cheaper charging stations in Tustin. It was kind of in the middle of a quiet office area. We looked around the area and found this restaurant. The food was good, and even tho they seemed short of staff, they gave star service. The menu was extensive and offered authentic Korean food. I'm glad with the choice we made to eat there.

I was driving in Walnut Ave and inexplicably saw this restaurant among office buildings and sprawling warehouses...there is another restaurants but the entire building feels out of place. That said, there's plenty of parking and my hunger literally guided me to the front door. The restaurant itself is spacious and can accommodate a large group. I was there during the tail end of lunch and missed the "lunch special " by a few mins. They serve traditional (very good) Korean food! There is nothing not of Korean cuisine on the menu. I say this because a random person walked in wanting "pot stickers", LOl! Of course left in a huff! lol! I ordered the " So Bulgogi Dolsot Bibbab". It was sizzling hot when it got to my table. So hot was the bowl that some of my rice got a little crunchy which I love. The bowl overall was delicious, exactly what I wanted/expected and served with a generous selection of banchan (from the non-spicy broccoli to spicy kimchi) The service was a little slow but friendly and genial. Overall, I enjoyed my very late lunch and wouldn't hesitate to come back when I'm in the area.

This Korean restaurant serves the most comforting Korean dishes in the area, each made with love using cherished family recipes. A must-try is their pork ribs with aged kimchi and rice cake. You can even watch them skillfully cut their own kimchi and pork ribs right before your eyes. The explosion of flavors in the tender pork ribs, combined with purple rice and a variety of sides, makes for a perfect meal, suitable for all occasions and weather. If you're looking for a refreshing and satisfying choice, their tofu soup with beef ribs combo is a winner. You'll enjoy the delightful taste of the tofu soup, along with the incredibly tender and flavorful beef. Can't skip their Bossam (pork belly with veggies)! Prepared with fresh ingredients, the generous meat portion is perfectly complemented by the house's special sauces. Wrapping it all together is not only fun but also for a refreshing and delicious taste. And don't forget to explore their cold side dishes, such a homestyle feel and offering a great variety of fresh and tasty options. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced, and their service is very sweet, friendly and professional. This place is more than just a restaurant; it's a haven for creating shared moments with family and friends. Highly recommended.
