"I loved this place!! I hadn't eaten dinner and didn't want to cook so decided to see what was open on a Monday night. Thankfully this place came up and seeing all the good comments made me feel like it was a solid choice. It certainly lived up to the precious experiences from y'all. I walked in and was immediately attended to. They were packed on this Monday night, and the staff was so apologetic for the wait, which was barely 5 minutes. Once I was seated, they gave me a complimentary rice cake ?? for having to wait. I found this so endearing, especially considering that a barely 5 minute wait is nothing compared to other wait times. It really set the mood and the appetizer was delicious and warm. The banchan came next and had green apple soju alongside it. Always a fan of the banchan and that they restock it if asked. I ordered the Korean army stew since I had seen some great reviews for it. And when it came out, I just knew it was going to be a great dinner. The stew was hot hot hot so waited a bit to start on it, but golly was it delicious with the right level of spice to clear all my nostrils and maybe even depression, and to combat the chilly night. Huge shout out to the waitress that attended me because she was always so nice and sweet, would check in with me at the right times, and having gone there by myself, made me feel so welcomed. Will definitely come back sooner than later!"
