About

This spot is a polarizing hole-in-the-wall. Loyal fans swear by the authentic, home-cooked flavors and the owner's dedication, while critics complain about small portions, high prices, and inconsistent service. It is a one-person show, so patience is key. The atmosphere is dated, but for those who want real Korean food without the fusion fluff, it hits the spot.
