The food feels authentic to traditional Korean but still somehow tastes better, elevated… even my Korean mother in law who cooks amazing Korean food and frequents Annandale and Centreville approves (aka she loved it). Ifykyk

Food was good but I'm very disappointed that none of the staff spoke Korean. It was unfortunate and sad to watch an elderly Korean couple who probably visited a Korean restaurant hoping for some familiarity but was only met with language barriers in a restaurant that sells their comfort food from their own culture/country. The restaurant staff were very patient and helpful, and I appreciated that. I really hope they hire someone who speaks Korean.
