  The Food: Daaang it's good. We ordered Combo Set A: kalbi/bulgogi, chicken & mandoo combo ang Hot Guksu (noodle w/ soup & beef) both are really good. Love the broth. So flavorful. They only put few thin slice of beef on it though. I want more! Coz they're dang good. Combo set A is literally asian portion when it comes to serving. The chicken and beef is so tender. They're so flavorful. Our tummy were satisfied.

  The place is not that big. Interior design is cute and simple. So asian vibes. They also got green placard.  So far ambiance is good. The staffs are super busy but they're kind & polite. Price isn't that bad. We'll surely be back in here and try their sizzling short rib. Leave the restaurant with a happy tummy after that sumptuous dinner.

  Aloha Friday and enjoy JUANDERING fellow yelpers!

  Love this place! I've been coming here since it was the original owners. And now with the new owner it's still as good. I'm all about good service with good food so 4 stars for their warm personalities. The food doesn't taste like it did before when it was the old owners, but whenever I order their dukboki and bibimbap it's always a hit! Their mandoo is delicious too.
  
  Their prices can be a little higher but trust me if you get their bibimbap or dukboki, you won't be disappointed. This is one of my go tos for lunch when I'm at work.

  I didn't know there was such a thing as bad Korean food. The reviews seem to be good overall, so maybe it was an off night? Went for dinner on a Friday night around 7pm, and a little over half of the tables were full. The other half of the tables were covered in dirty dishes, so we had to wait for the worker to move the dishes from one table to another so we could sit down. After we ordered, we waited 35 minutes for the food to come out. We ordered:
  
  Combo Set B: Chicken, Meat Jun, & Mandoo Combo. The meat jun had a lot of tough, gristly parts and did not come with meat jun sauce (!!). The one measly scoop of rice was extremely wet and mushy. The chicken was not charred the way Korean BBQ chicken should be and the flavor was just okay.
  
  Yukgaejang (spicy beef with vegetable soup): The soup seemed very watered down, barely had any flavor, and wasn't spicy at all. The fernbrake shoots were very tough and barely edible.
  
  The entree portions weren't very large considering the price, and the banchan servings were pretty pathetic too. Service was bad, quality of food was worse. Will not be returning.

  I like coming here. Good food, quiet restaurant, nice wallpaper, and friendly staff. Easy parking in manoa shopping center, and they also have super affordable breakfast/lunch specials !

  Great food. Had a very satisfying dinner there. Especially enjoyed the Kimchi pancake and Fried Mandoo. Side dishes were nice and was surprised to see a Kale side dish that was really good!
