What you wont find in a Korean Restaurant? Koreans!! Anneunghasao..whoops.. Ni Hao! New ownership is Chinese they serve a Chinese menu (in Chinese)..and kept a few Korean dishes.. I came here to eat Korean, but because My wife is Chinese, I texted her the menu to ask what I might like (she is from Hunan and we like spicy food). She may have been sarcastic but told me the Chinese menu was American Chinese and told me to get a sandwich from Publix. Ignoring her, I ordered Edamame, spring rolls and a dolsot bibimbap.. edamame were good except I have a problem with black pepper.. I asked that she wash off the pepper and just salt them (customary seasoning)..She did this and they were fine.. the spring rolls were American Chinese fare and delicious.. The dolsot (stone) bibim bap arrived with a half cooked egg on top of vegetables (I like it raw or half cooked so it can be cooked on the very hot stone bowl.. only problem was as I stirred the egg, rice vegetables and meet together, that the bowl was barely warm...I could hold it against my cheek warm.. Ive had Korean food in China and in Taiwan and would have low expectations as the Chinese are as bad at making Korean food as Americans are at making authentic Chinese food... heres why... The stone bowl Must be hot to cook the egg.. otherwise, your eating raw egg ( I ate a few bites but feared sickness). Any Korean will also tell you the hot bowl makes the rice crispy giving it texture. This restaurant needs to rename as a Chinese restaurant to at least alert the general public their not at a Korean restaurant and all that comes with that... All of the customers in the restaurant during my visit were Chinese Nationals..the menu board attached is not in Korean (which I can read and speak)....

This is not really a Korean BBQ and Sushi place anymore. Its more like an authentic Chinese place now with a smattering of Korean and Japanese dishes. They have an English menu and a Chinese menu but they are very presumptuous. The English menu has the more "Americanized" Chinese dishes like General Taos chick while the Chinese ONLY menu had the more authentic Chinese dishes. Many people travel nowadays and understand the more authentic Chinese dishes, or second and third generation Chinese who knows about these dishes but cant read Chinese, can not order from a Chinese only menu. I strongly recommend to have the same dishes for both English and Chinese menus. These days, there is no reason to have two menus. Just have one and put both languages on them! In the Triangle, I would think they want both Chinese speaking/reading people AND English speaking/reading people. The dishes were not very good. The seafood clay pot was more like noodle soup with some seafood in it, and tasted full of MSG. The noodle was soft and had no body to it. The fried pork rib was fatty and (for my taste) too sweet. It was more like "General Tsos pork". The Szechuan cold noodle had no flavor. The service was attentive.

My husband, baby, and I had an absolutely wonderful and delicious dinner here! We ate on a Friday night but the place was almost empty. We dont understand why because the food is so good, although it is a little bit pricey! I had the deep fried spicy chicken and my husband had the beef bulgolgi and some sushi. Everything was very fresh and well prepared! Also, the hostess and the server were both so nice and kept coming over to play with my son, which made him just smile and laugh so much! We definitely would eat here again if we ever return to the area!

Worse experience ever! My husband and I ordered three dishes from the lunch menu. They gave us one dish and we told them we have two more bento boxes and she said ok. She brings out one bento box 15 minutes later, the beef was not hot. We also reminded her we have one more. She said ok. Reminded them three times and after an hour of being there, i still have not gotten my lunch. Plus, we asked for more water and never got any refills. totally a waste of my lunch hour.

Food is good enough. The chef is nice, but the older lady that works there as a waitress and cashier who seems to be an owner always gives this nasty "Whats all you are ordering?" type of look and shes not at all friendly. I was happy to see a Korean restaurant near by, but she just ruins it and my family and others we know dont want to go back because of her. I wouldnt be surprised if she responds back to this comment with cursing and etc.

The food was not well prepared. My family ordered food from almost every part of the menu and not a single item was decent. My sushi was warm, the noodles were over saturated, the dumplings tasted like they recently thawed out. The spring roll was cold, not like a little cold. I mean cold like it was meant to be served ice cold. All in all the experience was subpar.

Asian cook barley speaks English and when a word comes out of his mouth its followed my multiple strange clicks from the back of his mouth. His wife is an old lady who is very unappealing to the eye and is one of the single rudest woman in the world. Every time I go there Jim Kong Yun clicks in my face and serves me cold soup with a cold expression on his face

The sushi although creative and tasty is average. I preferred it when it was more Japanese than Korean. I love Korean food but this place still has a Japanese ambience. The staff is always very pleasant and sociable.

The waitress was bossy. The decoration was almost creepy. The food was bad. The frog legs are fried to death. One of the worst meals I had in a while. I seriously think Panda Express is better than this place.

Bibimbap was cold, no warm bottom and was barely able to cook raw egg (clear whites) with the steamed rice. Served in a cold metal bowl. Service was also poor.

Best Korean food in the area. It is a must place for me and son. Food is our favorite. The chief has been very nice and given ice scream to son every time.

Omg. Sushi is good but the Korean food is the bomb. Sashimi bibimbop was unreal. The spicy korean soup is just perfect.

The Korean BBQ and soup is very good and authentic. They added Chinese dish, and we like that as well. Very impressive.

One of my favorite Korea/Japanese places in the town! The owner knows how to serve the customers.
