Love this place. They were closing at their normal time but we got our times messed up and showed up 10 minutes after they were closed. They still made us our meals. Both of us got an entree and it was only 20 and some change. Great deal. Great people. Great food. (Try the bulgogi)

Wonderful find: Korean food in a fresh, new spot. Try the veggie mandu's, but be advised: they are a bit spicy.

To start, I had no clue this place opened up recently! I originally thought it's been closed for four years, but it reopened under a new owner I think. This menu is entirely Korean based food, unlike the fusion I've seen in older menus. I got kimchi spicy pork rice and it was delicious for the most part. The price and portion is great for the area. The spicy pork was actually spicy and pretty strong while the kimchi was fermented and strong but savory. My only complaint was that the rice was a little stale. They provide self-service kiosks and have very hospitable workers. The atmosphere is also very chill but gets full quick during lunch times.

This restaurant recently reopened as a Korean street food restaurant, and I am so glad that it did. It is the most authentic Korean I’ve tried south of Doraville and definitely the best in the downtown area. The menu boasts a variety of tasty, traditional Korean food items that remind you of umma’s cooking, including customizable combos, which I personally have really enjoyed. The portions are generous, pricing is very reasonable, the service is friendly and quick, and the vibes are chill if you’re planning to sit down for a meal. I’ve seen many Korean-speaking Koreans come through for lunch and that in itself speaks to the authenticity of this place. It’s encouraging to see a Korean establishment in downtown ATL that actually does its food right and represents Korean cuisine well. Definitely make it a point to check out this spot and you won’t be disappointed.

Service was incredible. The Bingsu was so good that my friends and I came back TWICE in the same hour to order more. 1000% a must when visiting Atlanta.
