    So I have very high expectations for jook (Korean rice porridge), cus my moms used to make it at home growing up, and I wasn't disappointed, had the abalone jook. The kimchi jigae (soup) was good too

    Good bibimbap. Reasonably priced. Solid banchan lineup. Drizzle of gochujang is of my doing. This hapa approves. Eat all the delicious foods

    Very fast and delicious Korean food. The spicy stews are the best thing in the world when you have a cold

    I love the ramen but if you don't like kimchi you may want to pass. The steak bimbop is fantastic.

    Bibimbap is delicious. Wish they had a spicy version or sauce. Also, $1 ice cream bars!
