verbatim, from Google
“I would show you the food but was too good and hungry to wait. Did take a bit of time for the food to come out, but was definitely worth it.”
“Did the $99 mixed beef Korean bbq and wow, we thought maybe it was a little expensive but you really do get a lot of food for you money!! Tons of sides dishes as well as meat. We have so much food leftover too and the flavors were really good. Service was friendly and resturant was very clean. We will definitely be back.”
“We’ve been coming to this place for a little over a year now coming in once a month to meet up with friends and have never had a bad experience. The food and service is fantastic. Portions are generous and we always leave with full happy bellies.”
“Top Korean restaurant in north suburbs of Chicagoland! Highly recommended!”
“Service was impeccable and the food is sooo good. We ordered hangover soup, both squid and beef stone bowl bibimbap, ttokbokki, chicken fried rice, and the mandu. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and look forward to my next visit. :)”
“With new Korean places popping up in Vernon Hills, this place is still a family favorite. The food is home-cooked and super authentic — not to mention several dollars cheaper than alternative K-restaurants. The mom-and-pop vibes are real, and we’re always greeted with big smiles. Will be back :)”
“I loved it here I went here with my family and the owners were very friendly, the food was very good very fresh and delicious, I just with it was a little spicier because most of the spicy food were sweet to me. Service was a 10/10 they were so nice even helped my cousin with her napkin. Loved it!”
