The food was great and the atmosphere was great. I enjoyed it for the most part. However, due to some miscommunication, it had the experience less enjoyable. At the end of our meal, we paid at the register and l left a 80% tip. As we were driving off, one of the waiters chased us down demanding us to pay for our meal. We told him that we did pay and even gave him a recipient, he didnt believe us. We were asked to return into the restaurant for a further investigation. After it was straighten out, there were no apology. Although, the food was one of the best Ive tried in the Northern East coast, the humiliation I felt, I may never go back. I felt it was just rude and very insulting to be treated like a criminal.

Excellent soft tofu bowls, great side dishes, and great option of "nutritious stone pot" rice. Ive never been to a restaurant that included kalbi as a side dush; and the rice had a boiled chestnut, small piece of ginseng, jujube, and various vegetables mixed in (as well as black rice). Very cozy setting, with lots of wood in the interior, and good service.

Really, one of my familys favorite restaurants. You cant go wrong with a kiddie playroom (with video monitor), delicious and affordable Korean food with good bachan selection, and a nice atmosphere. We come here whenever we can. The proximity to Hmart and Paris Baguette is a HUGE PLUS!! Highly recommended.

Had a great dinner here of japchae and bimimbop and fresh dubu (tofu). Place is terrific even if you dont have kids to take advantage of the kids play room, with tv monitor for the parents, or to use the special kids step under the sink in the bathrooms.

Great food, excellent service. The prices are more than fair for the food received. Tofu appears to be served for any meal ordered. The blend of sides are well thought out amd go well together. The staff is very courteous, quick, and thoughtful.

Arrived at 3:30 PM and still full house on 28th Dec (Wednesday). one of the sign that this is a good korean restaurant. Ordered Beef Sundubu. LA Galbi and Nakjibokeum. Nakji is chewy like rubber. Galbi is tender and nice. sundubu is good

Great food, great appetizers. If you are looking for a higher class Korean BBQ, this is the place for you. There is a kids place where children can rest and play and their staff is really active throughout my experience

Love the food here, the staff is really nice. Actually one of the best Korean restaurants that Ive been to. If you live 30-40 min away from Elkins Park like I do, I would say it is definitely worth the drive.

I have never had a better restaurant experience in Philadelphia than this location OMG!! The kindness of everyone that works there is a rare find. We were all really happy that we happened upon this place!!

Food was wonderful, staff was lovely as well. Portion sizes are humongous, I would recommend sharing. The hot pepper symbol next to the dishes isnt accurate. Its very modest, and should be taken seriously.

Excellent food. Good service. If this restaurant was in my neighborhood, Id go quite often. Its a restaurant I went out of my way to visit (more than once) and recommended to other friends.

Love the food here. Great service. The spicy pork bulgolgi is fantastic, and their small dishes is great. Of course, their soondubu (tofu "casserole" soups) are amazing.

Great korean food at a reasonable price. The spicy soft tofu soup is amazing. An added bonus is the kids room so the kids can play while the parents are eating.

If youre in the mood for tofu soup, this is the place to go. They also serve fried fish as the first appetizer for each person at the table which is pretty good.
