Stopped by to grab something quick for lunch takeout and so happy I did. Single worker took my order and then made both of my triangle kimbap (think onigiri/rice balls) fresh right after I ordered. They were still warm when I got back to work and supremely delicious. Small but clean space, nice music playing, definitely recommend if you want reliable delicious Korean takeout.

Excellent in every way. Carried out for lunch break and was so happy with every item, everything was delicious and made fresh by the one chef working. She was so kind. Be aware the place is small and there is one person working to make food, so be patient. It is so worth the wait. Everything is top quality and clearly made with love and care. 100% Authentic Korean food. I am so glad I came here and I will 100% be back soon with friends. 10/10 in every category.
I've eaten here several times and it's always delicious. While this is not space for large groups, it's definitely worth checking out with a friend. The family is so kind, the food is so good and it's so calm. Call ahead for pick up orders and definitely get a triangle kimbap.
I love this place, I come with my family quite frequently, the food is 10/10, highly recommend tteokbokki and fried chicken. The owner and staff are extremely welcoming and nice.
When you find a restaurant that only has a handful of items on its menu, you can be sure that those are all solid items to order. We tried the bulgogi, traditional sausage, and tofu gimbap rolls, as well as a tteokbokki combo order and everything was solid. We'll definitely be coming here again to try the spicy pork gimbap and other dishes!
My new favorite place to eat and get take out from. The owner puts everything into her food, and it shows! the food is authentic and fresh. If you've never tried gimbap before, this would be the place to introduce someone to something new. I brought my mother here for lunch, and she is normally very skeptical about trying new foods, and she loved it. Her words were, " I've never had Korean food before, and this is REALLY good." The owner is very kind and diligent. Her passion for her cooking shows, and you won't leave here disappointed, ever.
