This place is the best! I enjoy coming here with my husband. The food is amazing and the environment is great. Customer service is excellent! We try coming at least once a week, it’s that good.
Recommended. Came on weekend and busy. Please come early or make reservation. Great restaurant, great taste and busy place. Must try if you’re in this area.

The Osam Bukum (squid and pork belly combo) was too sweet, but the spice was right. I ordered it mild.
The free condiments were incredibly tasty, especially the kimchi and the fish cake.
The free Snickers Ice Cream Bar was a nice surprise.
The strawberry milk soda was a refreshing delight. It was free with a Yelp check in.
Jon the waiter gave me spectacular customer service. It is because of him why I will return to try another dish.

Authentic Korean food with excellent service. Good portion as well. So excited to find this gem in the neighborhood. Now I don't have to drive to Flushing to have Korean food. Will definitely be back!

My fiancé and I visited this restaurant because we were craving Korean food. We were seated immediately and the service was kind and attentive. More importantly, the food was amazing! We ordered the pajeon, Bulgogi, Kimchi Jjigae, and Cold spicy noodle (not pictured). Everything we ordered was a 10/10 and they even served us ice cream after the meal. The side dishes and steamed egg were included with our order as well - also incredible. We are excited to bring our friends back here shortly!

Food was very delicious. We ordered Soon Dubu , Jja Jang Myun, and Spicy Dak Bokum. We asked for everything extra spicy and it came out perfect. The dishes came with traditional Korean side dishes (e.g. kimchi). Usually, would have to go to the city to get good Korean food. Not anymore! Although it can be expensive, portion sizes are adequate. At the end the waitress gave us complementary ice cream bars. Very generous of them! Staff is extremely courteous, humble, and friendly. They explained items we were not familiar with. Will certainly come again!

Been wanting some Korean food lately and decided to hit up this spot based on the menu and reviews. Was not disappointed at all. The food was amazing. Seated as soon as we walked in. Friendly staff and quick and attentive service. Ordered the duk mandoo guk, mandoo, ja ja myung, and soy garlic friend chicken. Everything tasted amazing. Wifey loved the soup as that’s all she pretty much eats when we eat Korean. Plus they threw in steamed egg on the house and I was in heaven. Haven’t been able to find a place that serves steamed egg and was so excited that they gave it to us on the house. Food was so good and at the end, they gave us some haagen das ice cream for dessert. We will definitely be coming back here for our Korean food fix.

This has been open now for a little while and I have been meaning to give it a try. Could it actually replace a trip to Queens for a quality authentic meal? I have heard mainly positive reviews of the food so I was less leery walking through the door of what used to be a local bar. There was just the two of us that day so this is a somewhat limited review.
First, the interior is spare and is dominated by a long bar on the right side as you enter. The tables are spaced far apart (presumably for COVID reasons since typical Korean restaurants are packed in tight!). But you’re definitely not eating here for the decor.
But onto the food. First the banchan - since it was lunch time, there were just a few given: kimchi, damuji (the yellow pickled daikon), potato salad, fish cake, and a spicy marinated root vegetable. One thing that’s different about this place is that they allow you to specify the protein for many dishes. We ordered the vegetable dolsotbibimbap (bibimbap served in a nuclear hot earthenware bowl) and the jjajangmyun (noodles with fermented black bean sauce) with pork. The jjajangmyun was just ok. First the noodles weren’t the more chewy kind you get in the typical Chinese-Korean places. Also, because they allow you to pick the protein, the sauce probably didn’t benefit from being cooked with the pork. Overall it was ok (still ate the whole thing) but probably not where I’d want to go if I had a craving. On the other hand, the dolsotbibimbap was excellent. Like many people probably would, I expected the absence of meat to be a fatal flaw, but even without the salty protein, this had a ton of flavor and textures. It was like I was tasting this for the first time. To be honest, I would come here just for this.
At the end, maybe because we spoke Korean, maybe because it was a slow day, they gave us each a Haagen-dazs ice cream bar for dessert. Completely out of place but, who can say no to that?
So, I definitely have to come back here to try more of their food. My instinct tells me to stick to the more traditional Korean dishes. So 3 stars for ambiance and the jjajangmyun and +1 for the Korean dishes (including the banchan) and for the convenience of being closer to home!

Albertson, do not snooze on this spot!! The food is delicious and travels well! We have gotten takeout several times and always love the options! There are options that satisfy my vegetarian family members and we always have more for the following days. Make this your new go-to spot!!

I am so happy to find a good Korean restaurant that's close by, no need to go to queens. My favorite is seafood pancake, soy bean fried chicken wing, and sweet and sour pork. The service was good, and price is very reasonable.
