Delicious food!! My toddler and I shared a bim bim bap and we were both very pleased! The banchan small plates were so good that my 3 year old ate all the cucumbers. The wait staff was kind and helpful. We'll be back!

Me and my husband and family have been going to this restaurant for years since it was called Sigaljip. The food is authentic and always hot and on point. Also had kimchi soup(kimchi jjigae) not featured in pics sorry. The servers always greet us and remember who we are. If you have nerved tried Korean food or if you have this is a great place. I'm sure you would love it and go back again. The Korean veggie pancakes are also great! Thank you Shus another great time and meal. see ya soon!

Came here on a Thursday night. Plenty of seating but very slow service. You can see the owner (probably) is burned out and whoever is helping her as well. But money is probably decent. You won't get as much attention if you're not actually speaking korean. Kinda normal since this place is super korean and korean owned. Hugeee menu. Bit pricey but portions are worth it for sure. Lots of variety, so go with someone who knows the food. I brought a friend who never had bimbimbap so ordered that. Would order again though when she brought it, the lady mixed it right away, whereas I like to let the rice get more burnt.. Ordered the kimchi fried rice too, yum. Great flavor. Huge portions. Had deep fried mang du too, okay. My friend really liked it. The small dishes were pretty good except the fish cake.. that was soggy. Seafood pancake... wasn't exceptional. Tasted like any other. Overall, food pretty decent, service sucked.

Some friends took us to this place. It was a nice clean place. Simple decorations adorning the walls. The server was sweet. She showed us how to eat Ssam Bab: Rice, grilled pork and grilled beef & soy bean paste rolled in lettuce. Grab the perilla leaf and tear off the steam. Grab a red leaf lettuce leaf and tear off the harder bottom part and discard. Then, stack on top of one another, add a little steamed rice, fermented soybean paste, add your grilled beef, grilled pork, Jalapeño, and raw garlic piece. Aftwards, wrap it up and place in your mouth! She was sweet. Even scolded us in Korean! Of the grilled meats, I preferred the pork as it had some fat in it, so it was more moist. The grilled beef was dry. Hae Mul Pa Jeon: Seafood scallion pancake. This had a nice crispy edge to it. Filled with green onions and Octopus and shrimp pieces. Go Gi Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab: Rice mixed with beef, fried egg, & vegetables in a hot stone bowl. Personally, I am not a big fan of this but my wife likes it. Japchae Noodles were decent. The banchan that came with the meal was ok. The pickled cucumbers were crunchy and refreshing. The Korean mung bean jelly came in thick cuts! We ordered a lot of food and had plenty of leftovers. Good place without the long line of people, like Seorai.

Overall a comfort korean restaurant. It gives of home cooked korean meals vibe with homey side dishes as well Our table got the Ssam Bab which is a platter of veggies to wrap with meat. Lots of veggies and meat isn't as much so you can order an extra meat dish to wrap with it. It also comes with a tofu soup Lots of good side dishes so definitely good to eat. Parking might be a lil hard and very cramped but the neighborhood down the street has plenty of parking. The servers are your typical Korean ladies who like to mom you so be aware of that. Note: if you're not used to it, it might come off as rude in some cultures. Lots of seating overall, meant for big parties.

It was pretty empty when we came on Friday at around 1:30 pm. Plentiful side dishes - we received clear jelly made from mung bean starch (nokdu-muk I think), cucumbers, julienned spicy radish, fish cakes, bean sprouts, kimchi, and stewed potato pieces. Also purple rice! Lunch specials are about $4 cheaper than its equivalent dinner item and come with a decent pile of meat. I was super full by the end of it even though I can usually eat a lot. We ordered the grilled pork which was very flavorful - like sweeter Korean BBQ sauce and spicy. It came on a bed of half-caramelized onions. The bulgogi (beef) was more like stewed rather than "fire meat." But also had some sweetness (taste of mirin, soy sauce, and maybe brown sugar). Came on a bed of regular sliced onions.
