This place is absolutely packed at lunch time, which is a great sign that the food is worth it. However, they only have 2 people serving the whole restaurant, and those 2 people also have to double-up as front/hostess/reservation/phone people, taking and serving orders as well as busing tables. For a restaurant of that size, it is definitely not enough. We had a party of ~10 and all ordered from the lunch menu since we were not the sharing kind (the food here is mostly family style). The menu variety was pretty comprehensive for authentic korean food (tofu soup, bimimbap and bbq meats) and stuck to the classics. I got the spiced beef bulogi which came with the traditional sides (kimchi, potato salad, been sprouts, etc). The plate looked small but it was literally all meat, which ended up being filling (had to take 1/2 of it home). The red pepper paste on the side was a perfect addition as it added spice but also sweetness to the meat. My friends were all happy with their selections and were not too thrown off my the heat (very low) and spice content of the food. It took a loooong time to get our checks because our server was overwhelmed with other orders, but it eventually came and she split our checks correctly. Definitely worth a return.

One of the best, if not the best, Korean restaurant in Chandler. Their menu mostly consists of spicy dishes, so this may not be the place for those who arent a fan of spicy food. But, there are a few dishes that dont have any heat. The restaurant is small, as well as its parking lot so get there early for lunch and dinner to avoid a wait. Oddly enough, theyre closed on Tuesdays.

I have eaten here in and off for 3 years. First off, it is staffed by very friendly servers. The service is super prompt and polite. The service alone is worth making this place a regular lunch spot, but its the food that blows my mind and keeps me coming back. My work schedule is tight so I need to order and eat pronto. The food is always served quickly and always delicious.

I think this is the best Korean in Arizona. They dont FILL the bulgogi dish with onions to make it look bigger like many of the others. I think the pricing is just right the portions are enough to share with starters. The soup is full of veggies too not just tiny slices like other Korean restaurants. Mandus, I think are home made just like mom makes them!

We found this restaurant after checking Yelp reviews. Very delicious comfort Korean food for lunch. We had Bulgogi menu and Dolsot Bibimbap in generous portions and really good flavors. Many Korean customers also for lunch, which is usually a sign of honest food. Nice service and fair prices.

Ive been here a handful of times. It is always great. Ive had the beef bulgogi, the spicy chicken bulgogi, the spicy pork bulgogi, the short rib, its all amazingly good. The kimchi is great too!! Its out of the way, and doesnt sit with other stores to attract a crowd. But great food!!!

Ive driven by this place for years and never knew it was a Korean restaurant. All that missed time, oh well. Tried it for the first ten the other day and Ill say at the least it was delicious and the lunch specials were generous portions. Ill definitely be back.

Very good Korean place for a very good price. You would be gravely mistaken not to try this place if you are new to Korean food. I suggest a stone pot meal, its something new and tasty like a vegetable goulash. Really starting to crave it again.

Honestly, they really need to hire more employees and also the parking space is really pact even they have an extra space in the back still not enough room. However the food was worth it but little bit pricey.

Having lived in Korea for many years, I consider this to be the best Korean food available in the East Valley. Its clean, fresh, and tasty. Plus they have the best spicy pork Ive ever had in the US.

Super disappointed after reading the reviews. The food quality itself was good, but the service was horrific and the prices were way too much for what you get. We definitely will not be back.

Best Korean food in AZ. The owner and staff are friendly, fun, and attentive. Ive developed an addiction to their house made kimchi... One day I will convince them to start selling it ;-)

One of two decent Korean restaurants in Tempe/Chandler/Mesa area. If you like Korean food, this might be your choice. Serving was fast and servers were friendly.

There was a nice variety with standard Korean options. The banchan selection was a bit wanting in variety, but adequate. Food was a bit expensive, but tasty.

From the outside this place seems like, "Im not sure if I want to go in there." However, the food is great and the staff is awesome. A diamond in the rough.

This is one of my favorite restaurants because the food (tofu soup) is flavorful and well done, and it tastes even better when you add bulgogi and seaweed

Good side dish, good Korean food. Restaurant atmosphere is good for family time. Something doesnt smell right when I try the spicy marinated bbq pork...
