Katie MainDecember 7, 2013All of the appetizers we had were so good. The best dumplings I've had anywhere! Kim, the owner, is wonderful. She made us feel like we were in the company of friends. I could "hang out" here often.
Mike BrownDecember 14, 2016I'm here at least once a week. Japchae, bibimbap, market stew, tako Tuesday... You can't miss. My absolute favorite kimchi ever. It is definitely modern/progressive take on Korean. Fave for lunch.
James NanceJune 26, 2015The dumplings and pork belly bibimbap were both fantastic. We also ordered the special dessert of the day, which were cherry-filled dumplings with a coconut sauce. Delicious!
H CMarch 12, 2013They have a great selection of gluten-free and vegetarian options on the menu which was great. Definitely try their seasonal veggie Mandu as well as their sesame greens. "Fresh and local" indeed!
Michael WhiteOctober 24, 2013Absolutely delicious! They take exquisite care with both the preparation and presentation, delighting delightfully tasty food (very quickly, I might add) that is absolutely beautiful on the plate.
Suzanne HinnantJanuary 11, 2014All made fresh & to your order! Fresh rolls with fried pork belly were great! The spicy crispy rice cakes were my fav - Yum Oh!
Rachel SasserMarch 1, 2014Holy god this place is good! So impressed. Pork belly kimchi ramen and Bibimbap forever.
Francela MJanuary 8, 2016Loved it. Totally unpretencious, but excelent food. Nice service! Very good value/quality. Totally recomend it.- Michael WhiteOctober 24, 2013I loved the bulgogi ssam, the kimchi, and the wonderful small side presented as appetizers. Highly recommended!
Dink DensmoreFebruary 26, 2013Kimbap is Korean for Spring Roll, amazing fresh and local food! A must visit.
Rachel Cole CannonOctober 7, 2013Pork belly lettuce wraps are fantastic! It's like thick cut tender bacon with a crispy edge. So good.
Vanessa MartiniJanuary 5, 2016WOW...! A-MAI-ZING! Everything was incredible... The shrimp scallion pancakes THE BEST!
Kimchi is amazing! I am a huge fan of spice and everything had just the right amount of heat!
Chris DuffyMarch 22, 2013kimbap ba duba dop ba du bop ba duba dop ba du bop ba duba dop ba du ...but seriously good kimchi
If you are here on a Tuesday, try the Korean tacos, they're A-mazing!
Kenneth JunMarch 6, 2013Sorry Dink, but kimbap and spring roll are not alike. Kim means dried seaweed and bap is rice. It looks like roll sushi but the rice is usually seasoned with sesame oil and salt, not rice vinegar.
Cindy UhlirSeptember 22, 2015I am surprised that this place gets such good reviews. I thought it was way overpriced and not enough selection. Won't go there again.
