WE LOVE IT!
It was such a pleasant experience to have a traditional Korean dinner here. Just like what you see in picture, there are lots of banchan and most of them are refillable. You should try at least once!

This place is a must go if you want to taste real korean cuisine (not street food like rice cake or chicken).🌼 Owners are really warmhearted they help you in every way also the food is free to refill other than meat ones. We really liked their korean pancake. They also showed us their cultural toys and instruments we played something similar to archery throw thing and also a foot kick toy. And also there are hanboks so you can change in to them and take photos.

Visit on November 2024 and find out the halal Korean good could be that delicious. The variety of food is worth the price.

Not only the food, but also the way they serve is way better.

When we ask about praying room, they do not have dedicated room, but they will provide the available room complete with playing mat. What a service...

Dined in dinner on 24/12.

Good visuals and quantity, spacious and comfortable.

Food was tasty. The beef stew was a little bit too sweet and little bit too tough but still very delicious. Some of the banchan like pan-fried-cake and fried fish, I felt would have been even better if served hot/ warm.

Two thumbs up 👍
