When I crave for Marinated Soy Sauce Crab and the Spicy Beef Ribs Stew Soup then I go to my favorite Korean known best for their Stew and Soy Sauce and Spicy Crab. The Soy Sauce Crab was shipped all the way from Korea so the price was a little expensive for just 1 crab is $47. But tasted hella good lol. I just wish they have more alcohol selections besides soju and beer cuz I get headache with soju the next day and I don’t drink beers. I was never a beer person that’s why lol. Staffs nice. Food’s great.

This is the best korean hot pot place that I have been. We order the beef rib and octopus hot pot. The broth was so flavourful. It is so much better to eat with ramen. I would recommend the fried rice which they will mix with the broth and cook it on the pot after you’re done eating. The cons are that the restaurant is small and always crowded, so the wait is long. The price is on the higher side, especially if you go with 2 people. Would recommend go in with a big group and share the hot pot.

The restaurant is spacious and airy, the food is delicious, the small dishes are great, especially the Octopus hot pot with a unique delicious taste, with great service. Will come back and recommend to friends.

We like to come here once in a while for special occasions although sometimes more than that when we want to treat ourselves as they do tend to be in the pricy side. The staff are friendly and treat us like family. One time I wore a white shirt since I didn't expect for us to end up eating here and they brought out an apron for me to wear. They also have some available for other customers too which is a thoughtful sweet gesture. They're attentive and clear out empty plates along with making sure we have enough water/broth for our hot pota

The food is the best If you like the spicy food. Don’t arrive late, the official close time is 10pm but the last call is around 9pm. Don’t expect too many services. Many people complain about the service. But remember it’s not a fine dining. In an authentic Asian restaurant, they just don’t greet the customers, answer every question and provide customized food. If you successfully make it, here are the foods you must try. Spicy raw crab is very fresh and the sauce tastes much better than other places. You will regret for your life if you never try it!!! Beef tails is cooked for long time. It’s tender, juicy, tasty and perfectly greasy. No annoying smell like typical beer tails. the vegetable in the hotpot absorbs the sauce and soup completely. It’s all fresh and has no bitter taste. The pancake is also pretty good.

We’ve been to this Korean hotpot place many times and it never disappoints. Every time we get the short rib and octopus hotpot, added bean sprouts and ramen — everything was flavorful and satisfying. The fried rice at the end is always a must; they make it perfectly crispy on the pan. I’ve seen a number of one-star reviews complaining about the service, but honestly, we’ve never had a bad experience. The two Korean ajummas running the place may not be overly warm, but they’ve always been attentive — we’ve never had issues getting refills on broth or side dishes. They get the job done, and that’s what matters.

The food is really good and the service is super. The waitresses are really nice and friendly and they won't let you do anything and do everything for you. I ordered the Spicy Beef Rib Casserole with Octopus small size for 3 people as it is what this place is famous for. After including tax and tips it was $122. Make sure you order the ramen. It tastes much better with ramen than udon. Definitely recommend it and will visit again. The moment I wrote this review, I already returned here for the second time as my family loves the food here. You can also order this togo if you don't want to wait as this place is kinda small, so it will take a while to dine in.
