“이런 작은 마을에서 한국 음식을 먹을 수 있게되어 반가웠습니다. 역시 한국 식당은 친절하고 깨끗히 관리되고 한국 레시피로 제공됨 😀 벌써 열번은 간 듯 80/90년대 맛 그대로임. 현재 한국에서는 이렇게 제공하면 지역 맛집 될 수 있음. 한국보다 더 맛있음. Highly recommended trying the authentic Korean spicy pork.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Food was good and spicy pork was very tasty and actually spicy. Def will be back absolutely phenomenal”
“Wonderful experience, the two young ladies working there are very friendly and took the time to explain the menu options, they really made the wife's day. Food wise everything was delicious, Spicy Buldak Chicken for the wife and Japchae Spicy Buldak Chicken for me, we both had the Brown Sugar Bubble Tea. This was our first time eating there, but hopefully not the last, even though we live over an hour away. We have highly recommended the restaurant to our friends and family.”
“Food was overall really good. We got the bulgogi beef bowl with noodles and the spicy pork. Wanted the roll but they were all out. That was a bummer but good for them. Also tried the apple cider Boba. It was my first time ever trying so have nothing to compare that too. Good portions and flavorful. Only things I could complain about to be fully honest are the meat was quit fatty so if you're a texture person like me do not get the pork bowl and I wish it was a bit saucier. But besides that we were happy. There is parking in the back too.”
“I ordered a mango smoothie. It is very delicious and refreshing. Having a smoothie from Yura Nuna for the first time, I feel cheated all the times I purchased any flavor smoothie from McDonald's. Service was great very friendly and quick.”
“I’d been eyeing this restaurant for a long time, and I’m so glad I finally went. The drink menu had tons of great options—all of them looked amazing. I went with my go-to, the traditional mango smoothie with boba, and it was perfect. I also tried the recommended Galaxy Lemonade, which was refreshing. As for the food, both dishes hit the spot. The beef bulgogi was flavorful, and the spicy chicken buldak had a nice kick that built up gradually, it got spicier the more I ate. I’m not sure if you can request spice levels. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They helped me choose a drink. The space was clean, including the bathrooms, and most of the restaurant was accessible. Bonus: there’s convenient parking in the back. I’ll definitely be back”
“It’s so hard to get Korean food anywhere near Joliet, which this makes it a gem. The food is always good, the drinks are great and customer service is always great.”
“The food is so good and the chicken is cooked to perfection every time. They deserve WAY more patrons than they get with how good everything is.”
