W.F. Google Review

“absolutely would be my place for Korean food to go”

“Surprisingly very good service! I dropped a box of sushi kind of shrimp and without hesitation they told me not to worry about it!! The willingness to make customers feels *SATISFIED* that’s what matters! Absolutely would be my place for Korean food to go!”

A.T. Google Review

“visit this place at least once”

“This is the best place to have quick snacks… take-out Korean lunches. Incredible selections of freshly in house made appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and desserts are always available for eat-in and carry-out, all packaged nicely. Visit this place at least once. I’m sure you’ll be back there again very soon. I definitely give this place 5 STARs 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.“

Z.Y. Google Review

“This place is awesome.”

“This place is awesome. The selection is huge and the food is fresh — couple this with the price — and you can’t beat it. It’s a must if you’re looking for a quick meal that’s good and affordable“
