There aren't many authentic Korean restaurants around the St. Pete area so I totally understand why this place is ALWAYS busy (at least each time I've been here for dinner, and that's a lot). The food is delicious despite changing owners once or twice since opening. The menu is presented along with a corresponding array of pictures so if you're new to Korean food, you can feel at ease. We usually order the SEAFOOD PANCAKE, SEAFOOD TOFU SOUP, BOSSAM, GALBI and BUDAE JUNGOL. If you like pork belly, I highly recommend the BOSSAM. It's a gigantic serving size and it you eat it by yourself, I guarantee you'll have left overs for another meal. The flavors of the stews/soups are perfect and the meats are marinated well. Dining in, they do give you the available banchans (they run out of pickled radish and kimchi quite often) but in small quantities. I love their banchan options and we just found out recently they're all made in-house! My friends and I love this place and will always continue to frequent here.

Oh my! The food here is SOoo good! I had the bulgolgi plate for lunch at it was delicious. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is I asked for extra kimchi and I barely got a tablespoon. Bummer lol

Very Authentic Korean Food. We have enjoyed learning about the many dishes on the menu. The pancake appetizer is a must, we always take some home. Which reheats well in the air-fryer. Beware of the spice as some can be hot. All food is cooked to order and comes out fresh and hot.

Wow this place is goooddddd! Authentic Korean cuisine. The establishment is an old Taco Bell and it's very small inside. Limited seating. We walked in and was greeted instantly and shown to a table. Service was really slow but to be honest it's the same no matter what Korean restaurant you visit. Staff was friendly. They have a variety of options on the menu as well as a separate menu with pictures in case you need to see what the dish looks like. I ordered the beef bulgogi and hubs got the jja jang myum. We also got the veggie manu as an appetizer. Food was hot and fresh and delicious! I loved the bulgogi! So much flavor and the meat was tender and not fatty. We got the kimchi fried rice to go for my daughter and it looked delicious. The egg was fried to perfection and the rice had great flavor. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend!

We came here on a Friday night and even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes before we were able to be seated. All of the servers were really nice and sweet. The food was excellent. We got the Deok Bokki as a starter. I will say, the hard boiled egg was extremely overcooked, but everything else was perfect. It was super spicy though, so be careful. We also tried the Galbi which had this amazing marinade, another excellent dish. I ordered the Yuk Gae Jung which was flavorful, I only wish it had more glass noodles, but otherwise super tasty and spicy! I would totally recommend this place

My friend had read about this place so we headed over the bridge from Tampa to check it out! First thing we said when we drove up is that the building looked like it used to be a Taco Bell(which was confirmed later). Lol. Very clean dining room and bathroom. Super friendly people...especially our server Torrey! So polite and fun and helpful. A lot of what we ordered were from her recommendations. A hot day in Florida called for a cold beer. The chilled glasses were a nice touch. We shared the Potato Corn Dog. The lightly battered savory fried mozzarella dusted with that sweet sugar and fried potato pieces was sublime! We also split the Seafood Pancake...it was large and flavorful and full of fresh seafood. We shared a Spicy Pork Bulgogi Lunch Box too. It is a nice sampling of a few menu items. There was, of course, the spicy Pork Bulgogi, as well as a dumpling, white rice, Kimchi, and a surprisingly good potato and bean sprouts mixture(I could eat a bowl of that!). I will definitely be making my way back across the bridge real soon!
