When the customer base at a Korean restaurant is 95% Korean, I think you’ve hit the right place. The food, the staff and the people sitting next to us advising us along the way made fantastic dinner experience.

Food was too good to picture before eating. If you haven’t been here, you’re missing some of the best KBBQ in lake county! The staff were very sweet and attentive as well.

I had lunch with my Japanese friends, and the food was fantastic and absolutely delicious! The ice cream for dessert was sweet and amazing. The manager and the waitress were kind and friendly.

I noticed a big jump in quality during my last visit. I’ve been here a handful of times since they opened, but something feels different now—the flavors are just hitting harder. Super impressed with the change. Definitely my new favorite spot in the area.

I had an amazing experience at this authentic Korean restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming service made me feel at home. The quality of the ingredients in every dish is excellent, everything was fresh, and the flavors were incredible. The BBQ was perfect, best I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for delicious Korean food in a cozy atmosphere, this place is a must-visit! I can’t wait to go back.

Great Korean bbq location that isn’t all you can eat. I was very pleased by the assortment of banchan. They provide high quality meats, particularly their kalbi. We came with a group of 7 and received a hemul pajeon for free. The real star in my opinion is their naengmeyon. It’s refreshing, clean, and has great texture with the chewy noodles. Getting the kalbi and a bowl of naengmeyon is the way to go. The cherry on top was getting ice cream as a nice sweet treat to cap off the meal.
