"We were in the Brunswick area to explore and came upon this Korean restaurant. Upon walking in, it is very reminiscent of a mom and pop shop. Very cute and lots of photos of menu items throughout the shop. Plenty of parking around as it was in a small, outdoor strip like complex. The service was great and the ladies were super sweet and accommodating. We chose a table and were waited on immediately. They give you a lot for the prices you are paying for. I will say the prices are a little bit on the pricier side, but the quality and portion sizes were wow! We got the following: Kimbap: 8/10 essentially like their version of a sushi roll but it 's filled with daikon radish, rice, carrots, bulgogi, veggies, etc. For the price, you get alot! Like two rolls! The rolls are cut up into sushi like pieces and each bite is more delicious than the last. Tip is to dip it in some soy sauce for extra flavor. Galbi short ribs: 9/10 I love galbi and depending on the place, they either give you thin cuts (which I 've had about 85% of the time at Korean restaurants) but here, the pieces were not only thick, but huge! We had a hefty portion and although it was thick, it was tender and fell off the bone! My husband and I shared the plate and we still had some leftover to take to go! The marinade was just right as it was sweet, salty, and oh so delicious! Beef bulgogi bibimbap in a hot stone pot: 9/10 my husband always gets this and their version of this exceeded his expectations, It came sizzling hot and the flavors were dancing on his palette! Bibimbap generally means along the side of mixing rice and that 's exactly what you have to do here. It comes with the meat, veggies, rice and since this is the hot stone pot version, you have to mix it right away when you get it so the rice doesn 't burn. However, if you 're like us and like the bits of crispy, burnt rice at the bottom of the pot, then wait a few more minutes to mix it. I feel that burnt rice enhances the flavor of everything else. They also have a regular version without the hot stone pot if you 're more into that. This came with a side of gochuchang (Korean red pepper paste) and not sure what brand they use or if they made it in house but it tasted pretty good. All the dishes came with rice and banchan (side dishes). My only critique is that I wished they had more side dishes but that 's okay. The ones they provided were delicious, especially the kimchi. Overall, a nice place with authentic Korean food. I cannot wait to come back to try more dishes on the menu! If we 're in the area again, definitely stopping by again."

"We were visiting from Atlanta where everyone always assumes the best Korean food can be found, but I politely disagree. Northern Boulevard, with all its humble storefronts, is where some of the tastiest hidden treasures can be found. I thought I knew where the best jjajangmyun, or black bean noodles, were, but in the time I've lived outside of New York, this noodle house has apparently and recently gained the reputation of the best jjajangmyun in town.There are tons of combination platters in case you're craving a variety of the most popular plates (with cleverly sectioned off bowls that keep the two entrees separate), but I went straight for my tried and true order of black bean noodles and especially appreciated that there was a vegetarian variety for non-meat eaters like me. I've never seen whole broccoli florets in my black bean sauce but I appreciated the healthful touch. Plus everyone else at the table who ordered the regular kind seemed to be gazing enviously at my verdant pops of veg.The noodles are fresh, with just the slightest toothsome quality, and the sauce was just as delicious as my parents promised it'd be. We also ordered some of the spicy battered shrimp, which ended up being a little softer than I'd like, but when a dish is so saucy, it's hard to maintain a crunchy batter.This was our very first meal after our plane touched down in New York, and it'll likely be where I have every first meal henceforth when I visit."
