Def would come back but not get the kimchi fried rice ”

“ I've been looking for a place where I can get Korean ramen and I'm so glad to have found it! I ordered the dumpling ramen with shrimp added and it was really tasty and filling. My favorite part of the dish were the veggie dumplings. The dish came in a tin soup pot that kept it nice a hot. My husband ordered the tuna sandwich which comes with chips and pickles. He didn't find that it was anything to write home about, but he enjoyed stealing from my bowl. The restaurant was overall charming and clean kept and the service was great. The bathroom is pretty shabby but seems like they keep it clean. I have had the bi bim bop before by takeout and wasn't too crazy about it. I felt like it needed sauce/flavor but I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu because I really did enjoy my ramen dish. ”

“ ****Credit card friendly now **** love watching the fish tank while enjoying a simple yet delicious breakfast. It's definitely a dated space but very clean. Seat yourself and pay at the counter. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! ”

“ **CASH ONLY** I have wanted to try this place out for years! Small dive, on a great block, and walking distance from areas of town. Diverse menu to satisfy both Western and Korean tastebuds. The ramen was perfect on this rainy, windy day. Portion size was filling and flavorful. Not too spicy and you could still taste the kimchi. Looking forward to coming back!! ”
