Very good fried chicken wings. The tteokbokki was more saucy, oily, seafood base than the style I like(thicker sweet spicy sauce with ramen noodles) but still good. Very authentic Korean style and taste. Friendly staff. New favorite spot for sure.

Great food and music. Only thing I wish is that they would offer a 4 pc. On the chicken.

Very pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of Gyochon Chicken in Korea. The sauce did not make the skin soggy and it was very crispy. The sauce may feel a bit Americanized to Koreans but it was tasty and unique in itself. The meet was soft and bones looked fresh. Radish was just the way we liked it. Couple suggestions to make it even better is 1) for chicken katsu, please consider placing the sauce on the side. We ordered it for our kids but realized that the spicy sauce was already drizzled on top and we had to scrape it off. 2) I wonder making the consistency of the sauce bit thicker would make it even better. Otherwise, we had a wonderful lunch time.
