Small spot so may have to wait for a table, but let me tell you, it’s worth the wait! Some of the best authentic Korean food I’ve had! The kimchi stew, and Bibimbap was spot on !! Ban chan even came with dried anchovies! Also very reasonably priced!

The food is delicious. I got the Galbi ribs and they were amazing. The place is small so hopefully they are able to expand soon because the food is packed with flavor. I also had the kimchi pancake and it was excellent.

What a shame. I've been wanting to come here for over 6 months seeing how Korean bbq options are far and few. We walked in and one small family there. All other tables filled with left over dishes from customers a while ago. We waited to get directions on if they'll seat us or take a seat. Made eye contact with the buser and the Korean lady. They said no greeting or where to sit (no smile). We sat at a table connected to one of the dirty tables. The reviews are good so we figured let's give a second go. Waited about 10 minutes for menus or drinks orders. No one came. It was strange. My wife who never does this stood up and just said let's go they don't want our business. Very strange and disappointing for the owner and staff to not even acknowledge us.

Very Good Korean food! I try their Bibimbap and it was very delicious along with a savory sauce and assorted bancan if I said that correctly. Service was good and waitress was nice and chill. Will come back soon. 😋

The food was so good I forgot to take picture. It brought memory's of when I was a kid and made me sad knowing my meal was over. My wife also said the fried rice was the best fried rice she has ever had. I do believe this is the best Korean food in El paso.
