    The General Tso's Chicken is something we must order each time we are here. Tonight we tried the Pineapple Shrimp and it was Amazing!!

    Fortunate accidental find. Great dumplings drenched in sweet&spicy sauce. Only place I can order my 3 fav Chinese-Korean dishes together as a combo: jjajangmyun, jjampong, tangsooyuk (or gampoongee)

    Enjoyed Seafood soup and Jya-Jya noodle on one plate; was really good (big portion); Seafood soup was real tasty. Chinese Korean food with "friendly/cheerful service" which you won't see in K-town!

    With all the Korean restaurants in this area, go someplace else. We ordered a variety of sushi, appetizers & General Tso's Chicken (not spicy nor flavorful). None of it was very good.

    They have a combo menu with a decent price. You can get soju with it and everything was under $50. Taste wise it's good but not great as Dong chun down the street.

    The bibimbap with bulgogi and banchans are A-1. They’re also open late and I think they’re actually 24 hours.

    A bit disappointed with their food. I think regular Chinese takeout may perhaps taste better than this place. Seafood fried rice...where was the seafood?? Shrimp and squid & u call that seafood mix??

    Family style Chinese/Korean fusion for a decent price. Wish it was as cheap as it was 5 years ago

    The mapo tofu used to be my favorite dish but the cook changed the recipe. It's now tofu in sweet and sour chili sauce with onions and cucumber. It enraged me. I will NEVER come back here.

    Saw the "we have Pho" sign outside and were intrigued? TURN BACK, FRIEND! not authentic. Broth tastes like wonton soup. Better luck in Chinatown. Also- who serves CILANTRO w pho? (Should be basil)

    Mul naeng myun was kind if a downer. It didn't have the beef or jellyfish as mentioned in the menu.

    They make you put your dishes in containers yourself. This is the spilling that ensues.

    Had the seafood stew. It was ok. I've had better from a Korean Deli. And they only split the check by two forms of payment. My friend didn't like the fatty beef in the Pho.

    i became mayor of this place during a time in my life when i very obsessed with jajangmyun. this place has it pretty good, and the dumplings aren't half bad either.

    Beware, they don't honor the 4sq promo when doing a take-out! Apparently 'check in' means 'eating in' here.

    Couldn't get my free spring roll because it was too late. They should have added that to their complimentary item info.
