"We decided to try out this spot on a Friday night randomly. I will say they do their best with providing a good atmosphere with the limited space they have. The spacing between the tables makes it a little difficult for the waitresses to get through comfortably. The menu was a little confusing at first as it's two separate pages so we thought we were looking at 2 separate menus. The food was honestly delicious which was nice because I was questioning whether or not it would be and I honestly have no complaints about the food except the lemonade was not great and my wife's water tasted weird. I feel like there could be something done with the space to give it a little more life. I would say the biggest negative of the night was the service. To be fair it seemed like only 1 of the 2 waitresses were really working for some reason. But when we asked for a 2nd menu the waitress that was working slammed down another menu on the table and walked away with no words. When we brought up the issue with her she just said she was busy , no real apology for her action just justification for why she did it and you could tell her frustration the whole night as she seemed to be frantic while serving everyone and she didn't check in much with us, we had to get her attention whenever we needed something. While waiting for our food someone came in for an online order which wasn't ready and the explanation was that the online orders weren't automatic , they get sent to an inbox to where the orders have to be put in manually and that inbox wasn't checked often so the order got put in late and this was the explanation from the other waitress who didn't seem to be doing much. I might give this place another try just because the food was actually really good but I definitely think they need work on their service."

"Went there based on someone’s recommendation. This place is a Korean-Chinese (like American-Chinese) restaurant. It has the usual Korean/Chinese signature foods.We initially were thinking about ordering the combo (dish that has two components), where you can get two dishes in one order. We ended up just ordering the full orders, figured it would be cheaper that way. If you have a smaller appetite but want to try two different dishes at once, I’d recommend you give the combo a try (the menu will provide additional details on the options)Here are the dishes we ordered – Jia Jang Myeon (Black Bean Noodle), Chicken Fried Rice, Tang Su Yuk Pork (Sweet Sour Pork), Katsu Don (Fried Pork Cutlet). What we liked about the dishes is that they are not overly salty. The Jia Jang Myeon is not heavy and it’s the kind that you can just eat and eat and eat. The Tang Su Yuk was nicely done, hot and crispy. We do the dipping version vs the sauce pour over version. The sauce is tangy and sweet with the right amount of sourness. The Katsu is VERY crispy. Crunchy on the outside while tender on the inside. I have to say, our least favorite is the Ck fried rice. It was rather blend and the kitchen has a ‘meat taste’ to it (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s okay).I would say this restaurant would be one of those if I want some Korean/Chinese and happen to be in the area, I would visit."
