We were super excited to come here for its gamja tang. But unfortunately they do not have it anymore so we ordered another soup that looked similar. However, it was another let down because the chef didn’t put any seasoning so the soup was basically hot water. I’ve requested to cancel the order but the chef said i have to pay because I took a bite of the side dish and had a scoopful of the soup…. (Yea I had to taste it to know that it wasn’t seasoned). The waitress was super nice and said she would cover that dish since I barely touched it and it wasn’t right. She is a great employee but the chef/owner can’t be said the same.

Great place. Very nice stuff. Tasty food.
If I come to Soap Lake again, I will stop in this place for sure.

I ordered the Sundubu jjigae with seafood. It had delicious spicy flavor and plenty of seafood mixed in with the tofu. I did wish they would have brought me some kimchi along with the sides.

I loved the spicy rice cakes. The sauce tasted so good and with the egg mixed in there, really good.
The kimchi noodle mix was my first time having a cold noodle dish and it was a great experience. There was a sweetness to the sauce and tanginess from the kimchi, the flavor balance between sweet and spicy was really something to appreciate. It was such a great experience. Thank you for such a unique flavor.
I would recommend this place to people and will be back!

Excellent food. One of the best Korean food , I had so far. They have good mix of vegetarian option. I tried soft tofu soup and was on of the best. Also glass noodles are very good. A must try if you are in UW area .

Great place to have some Korean, either take out or dine in.

The food was really good, it was served hot and in a timely manner.

Unlike other Korean restaurants around the area they didn't give the option to select how spicy you want your food, which isn't bad, but asking yourself could get you something more to your liking.

The server was friendly and the environment was bright and welcoming. We ordered a budae jigae (military stew) and a bibimpap. They both had way too much black pepper on them, making them super spicy. We didn’t end up finishing the dishes.

Got the Korean Ramen with additional egg, rice cakes, and dumplings! Super delicious! And the side dishes were really good too (especially the potatoes)!

Everyone was super welcoming and the space was bright and clean! Will come again soon.
