Authentic Korean food. Good flavor. Awesome staff. Clean. Price per portion is very high. Food flavor is like korean fast food, not matching the price. Treat it as a night out at a fancy restaurant and expect to pay a lot, but its still nice... especially for a small town in Indiana.

This is one of the only Korean places in town, and we're lucky it's a good one! They have a great selection of tasty food. Prices are a bit higher, but portions are good for the entrees. We're tried a number of things from the menu. The seafood pancake is a favorite, though at other places it is served with a soy type dipping sauce. The seafood rolls are great, and are popular with the kids. Our go-to is the the Bibimbab. The way the rice cooks to the bottom of the bowl is wonderful. The hot pots are solid, but beware that if you order one, they automatically tack on an 18% gratuity to your entire order.

I visited this place as it was long i had Korean food and the food here did not reduce my expectations. The taste was amazing. I had ordered veg glass noodles and they were soft nice and warm. And even the side dishes were yumm. Loved it. Would definitely visit again. Staff is super friendly and the waitress was very enthusiastic.

I can't believe it took me this long to write this review. It's one of my favorite Korean restaurant in town both for dine in and take out. Great ambiance, it feels cozy and welcoming. Service is always wonderful and pretty quick. The food is fantastic! We haven't had anything we haven't liked. The only thing I haven't tried is the hot pot but everything else is well cooked, delicious, and very filling. It does feel a bit pricy as most review have mentioned but personally I think it's worth it.

This is an authentic Korean restaurant run by Korean. The sides were great but the portion size was unpleasantly small and asked for 2 to refill. However, the flavor and the service were all great. Will definitely go there again to try out more dishes!

Heard a lot of good things about about this place, decide to visit on Friday night. The restaurant was packed, but they still managed to bring in our food really fast. The service was above and beyond, they even split our leftover hotpot for us in the containers! The food was very legit and delicious. Love the seafood pancake, definitely will come again just for this! The environment and the vibe is nice and comfortable. You can see that everyone is happy to be here and enjoy the experience. Good job!

This has now become my favorite place to eat and meet my father who lives out of town. The food is fantastic. The price is a tad up there, however. The atmosphere is wonderful and inviting. The service was exceptional.
