There’s. Reason for the 5 star reviews - great , authentic food and family atmosphere and great service
The family makes this place a top class gem.
They try with 5 or 6 real Korean garnishes for your meal. We started with traditional kimchi pancake - something delicious in the recipe I couldn’t identify but a real rich down home flavor.
3 of us had bipimbop - a little light on the protein but th flavor was delicious. The fourth plate was excellent bulgogi (Korean bbq) with awesome flavor and delicious sauce.
I really want to try the fried chicken on next visit
Highly recommended!

This is the best Korean food I’ve had in this country—tied only with some restaurants in Southern California and L.A.. The homestyle food is particularly unique and delicious 😋 I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

So pleased to have these folks in our neighborhood. Fall off the bone ribs with layers and layers of flavors, kimchi, revolving array of pickled veggies. Quick service in the restaurant and from delivery. Just a delight. You should eat there often. No kidding!

Authentic and DELICIOUS Korean food. We can attest to this having recently visited Korea. Family run with dad in the kitchen and son up front- both working their magic. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

The seolleongtang taste like water, none of any single part of this thing taste like soup. If I didn’t see my delivery came in its full closed packaging I would thought someone eat my food before it’s delivered. It’s RIDICULOUS the soup has only two pieces of beef in total, and sweet potato noodle? Barely see it anywhere, I have to use spoon to stir to find some little pieces of sweet potato noodle. And even this soup with rice cost me 17 dollars despite the delivery fee. IT’S A SCAM
Update: the owner of the restaurant let me”educated” myself like I never had seolleongtang before, at least I know if I make beef bone broth in my home without salt, it’s still taste like beef, not like WATER lol. And for reference I posted some YouTube video making the soup to see how many beef slices and sweet potato noodle in there😂
