The space has a very nice atmosphere with great service. They refilled our tea a ton throughout our lengthy stay and didn't bother us about sitting for so long chatting. Food was all very tasty too and the yuzu vanilla gelato was great!

Beef tofu stew was delicious. Spicy chicken was okay. Seafood scallion pancake was top notch. Sweet and spicy wings were more sweet than spicy. Meat was a little chewy. Service was excellent. Ambiance wasn’t bad for Forest Hills.

A very popular spot in Forest Hill. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They immediately cleared the table as soon as table become available for our party. The restaurant is very modern and simple. The food was very good. Not like traditional Korean food I’ve had but very tasty. Great flavors and portions are very good. The seafood pancake was a little too oily but still crispy and delicious. My family enjoyed our lunch

The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. I was very surprised on how much they filled up our water, they filled it up almost every single time that they went by and saw it was empty. The atmosphere was very nice, I wish it was a bigger place, but besides that it was amazing authentic Korean food.

The food was great and the atmosphere was welcoming and clean. But what gave them the 5 stars for me was the service. The staff was attentive with my table in general but went above and beyond. I am 8 months pregnant and when I ordered a soondubu, the waiter automatically said they can cook their egg thoroughly as they understand I can't have the raw egg. They also offered caffeine-free tea and a healthy yuzu drink. I felt so taken care of.

Honestly, I don’t get why there are so many bad reviews. The food here was actually really satisfying, the flavors were exactly what I was craving. The place isn’t fancy, but it’s cozy and clean enough. Service was decent. For Forest Hills, this is a solid Korean spot. I’d definitely come back if I’m in the area again !

Great experience all around! The service was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Drinks were spot on, and the fried chicken was absolutely excellent—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Definitely a place worth coming back to.
