"After coming here 20+ times, it’s safe to say this place is the most consistent and delicious pork soup I’ve ever had. The first piece of meat is just as good as the last piece of meat I put in my mouth. 11/10 service 11/10 food I come here sometimes 6 times a week after my friend introduced this place to me. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious!"

"Food is delicious. I ordered beef japchae and kimchi fried rice and couldn't decide which one I liked more because they were both so good. Friendly service and a small selection of beers and soju."

"We both arrived here out of coincidence by searching in Google map. I only thought of getting warm soup for my lunch but it turns out out it's a hidden gem of Korean traditional pork bone soup. It's perfect for rather cold and windy weather."

"Go for the pork soup - signature dish. Add in the spices into the soup and taste to your own liking. The portion is good to go with rice and side dishes. The service is fast and good."

"Authentic and friendly Korean soup restaurant. They only serve one type of soup. It's very hearty and warm during winter. The soup was full of different cuts of offals and pork - make sure you add some condiments or make a dipping sauce for the meat. Don't think I would know what to order of my Korean friend didn't take me! So grab a Korean friend and visit!"
