Here’s your updated, Google-ready review with that added in: ⸻ Went here with my other half around 5:30–6 PM on a Sunday and had a really solid experience. Took advantage of their happy hour and grabbed a beer 🍺—great deal. We didn’t order too much since we had an event after, but we tried the soon dubu soup, honey jam wings, and some rice on the side. The wings were the clear standout—easily one of the top three wings I’ll remember 🔥 Super crispy even with the sauce, great smoky flavor from the peppers, good size, and the batter-to-meat ratio was spot on. Everything was cooked perfectly. The soondubu was excellent as well—perfect portion size, well-balanced, not too spicy, not too heavy, and served at just the right temperature with a really clean, flavorful broth 👌 The space has plenty of seating whether you’re going as a couple or with a group. The service felt small-scale and homey, which made it really comfortable. Our waitress was friendly and patient, and the overall vibe felt very family-oriented. You can tell it’s a popular spot too—steady flow of dine-in, takeout, and delivery orders. Location-wise, it’s tucked behind the UTC area with plenty of parking and not much

My favorite place for Korean fried chicken and tteokbokki! Delicious, consistent, clean, plenty of parking, and staff are really nice. So grateful to have this place in town!

Saw this restaurant online and decided to try it. The bulgogi fried rice was the best of the three and very delicious. The wings were crispy and very tasty. Lastly, the kimchi pasta was interesting for a change, and even though the sauce was very creamy it was the weakest of all three options

A must try! Came here with my buddies and we wanted to try a little bit of everything. We started out with the corn cheese on that white cheese on the corn It gives it a nice flavor. Then we shared the Bulgogi fries it’s a must try. And if you like kimchi, I highly recommend the kimchi pasta that sauce they use on it was insane. We shared that plate, but I wish I had more to myself. I got myself the spicy tofu soup, but I wish it was a little bit more spicy and it comes with a side of white rice. Then we shared their wings. We got the honey jam, and the sweet and spicy the wings were my favorite. Restaurant was clean and service was great. Definitely coming back here to try more food items and their beer.

Three people ordered a COMBO 1 (suitable for 2-3 people), which included 12 chicken wings and drumsticks (with a choice of 2 flavors) and a portion of tteokbokki. We chose the Rose flavor for the tteokbokki and particularly loved it—it was very flavorful and so delicious! For the chicken wings, I selected HoneyJam and Saigon Style, which were just okay.
