Excellent food, excellent service, very inviting area to have a great lunch or dinner! The spicy bulgogi was extremely tender and full of flavor! After we got done eating we left with some sweet treats for the beach. We will be back before we leave to get some more bulgogi to go.
What an unexpected find! Although the place was super tiny and nothing special to look at, the food was delicious and fresh. The owners giggled at us for ordering so much food, but we wanted to try it all, and we were glad we did. The kimchi pancake was my favorite bite.
I ate here the other day with a friend and ordered the beef bulgogi, it was absolutely delicious. I love the environment here and the staff. We decided to cater here the very next day for the entire Mazda Staff of 22 people!! Everyone was thrilled and loved the food. The order was ready by when we scheduled and everything was packaged and bagged and even put in boxes for easy carrying!! I would highly recommend this place to ANYONE. They gained 22 new customers
The Food was excellent. I was only able to photo the appetizers which was amazing. When our food arrived, we were so excited to eat immediately that's why I didn't take photos. Food was excellent, the best we've tasted here in Panama City. The chef came out to ask how we were, aside two other worker came & asked if everything was okay. We ordered three dish.dishes. 1. Kimchi Fried Rice 8.99 2.Sundubu Jjigae, 10.99 3.Tangsuyuk 14.99
Delicious! Tried four dishes. They were all well prepared, fresh, and flavorful. Employees were super welcoming. Love that you can buy all the kimchis and pickled salads to take home. Brought home cubed radish and cabbage kimchi.
Great experience at this authentic Korean restaurant! The jjamppong was amazing, with a serving size perfect for two. The side dishes were delicious, and the waitress was friendly and attentive. We waited almost an hour, but the food was worth it. Highly recommend!
Lovely little quiet restaurant with amazing food! I can't speak for it's authenticity but everything I ate was delicious. I really loved the kimchi cucumbers and gimbap! The service was also great, we walked in, were sat immediately and our waitress was happy to answer my questions. I'm very excited to come back and try the rest of their menu!
I went here during lunchtime on a Wednesday. This place is popular and busy... and I understand why. The food was great! I ordered the Beef Bulgogi and Fried Dumplings. I highly recommend both. Tasty and good portions. This restaurant doubles as a store as well. Small, cozy place. Parking and dine-in seating are a bit limited, so you may have to get a bit creative and/or be flexible if you go during lunchtime. Not a huge deal. This place is worth checking out.
