Perfect Meal on a Cool Day!
This is a must stop place to eat in San Francisco! I had the chicken with honey crust and the seafood ramen. It was a perfect meal on a cool day, and the flavors were absolutely stunning! I'm so glad we stopped here!

Good Bibimbap, Lacking Spice and Value
My experience at the restaurant featured a Bibimbap with good flavor. However, the spicy pork was not very spicy. Additionally, the portion size could have been more generous for the price. Unlike other Korean restaurants, there were no complimentary small plates, and an order of kimchi incurred an extra charge. This might be a common practice for establishments that don't specialize in barbeque, which this place does not.

Amazing Food, Friendly Staff, Pleasant Atmosphere!
What a delight! My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. All the dishes were amazing, the staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere was so pleasant. I highly recommend the soy garlic chicken.

High Quality Food, Poor Value and Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food quality was undeniably high, but it came with a hefty price tag. Unfortunately, the service did not match the cost. I spent over $250 for our table, and when I requested additional lemon slices for seven people, I was met with an annoyed response from the hostess. She stated that more lemon would cost an extra $5, which felt like nickel-and-diming, especially considering lemons are abundant and inexpensive here. As a loyal customer for years, this incident made me reconsider my patronage. It's also worth noting that while tips are optional, there's an expectation of upwards of 30%, regardless of service quality. Ultimately, customers seek great food, friendly service, and fair value. This restaurant excels in food but falls short on service and value, missing the mark on two out of three essential aspects.

Cozy Spot with Delicious Food!
I tried this restaurant last night with a friend who had been there before, and I liked it a lot! It’s small but cozy, with very kind and attentive staff. The food and the jasmine tea were delicious! I especially loved the appetizer with cheesy corn! 👌🏼

Delicious food, wish I lived closer!
My experience at the restaurant was marked by delicious food. I only wish I lived closer to eat their food more often. The service and atmosphere were also rated highly.

Flavorful Dishes and Great Vegetarian Options
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. We ordered the Spicy Boneless Chicken and the Vegetarian Sizzling Bibimbap. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful and outstanding. I was particularly impressed with the many vegetarian options available. We are definitely planning on coming back to try more dishes.

Cute, Cozy Spot with Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! It's a cute, small, cozy restaurant with fast and great service. I highly recommend trying their dishes! For appetizers, the Vegetarian potstickers were delicate, crispy, and absolutely delicious, served with a sour, tasty dipping sauce. The Vegetarian Ramen, specifically the Vegetarian Gyoza Ramen (spicy level), is an absolute must-try! It was spicy, hot, and delicious, with more than enough quantity – a real treat! For a meat option, the Chicken Jjim had a yummy soy garlic flavor and tender chicken, which I also recommend trying.

Service Nice, Food Just Okay
My experience at this restaurant was just. Fine. The service was nice, but nothing we ate truly wowed us. I would advise against ordering the Bimbibab; for $22, it was a shallow bowl of piddling rice and meat. The Chicken jjim was better, but paying $3 for an extra thin layer of cheese felt dramatic.

Decent Lunch with Good Service
I visited for a Friday lunch shortly after the restaurant opened and was the only customer. My experience included decent food and good service. The Bibimbap was good, and I would consider trying other dishes if I find myself in the area again.
