I gotta say this is a very disappointing and terrible experience. First of all, food? Just ok really. My Korean friend visited before, quoted his words "just ok korean food, seafood is not fresh at all, you can try it but not recommended." Plus, no service at all! You order, you pick up, you return the dish and tray, I mean, do I need to wipe out the table as well?? If you say these are alright, hear this: I gave 10 dollar tips for 0 service and in the end, I wanted to take out our unfinished food and because Kimuchi is good so I grabbed another dish of Kimuchi, the cashier was so freaky rude said: "you cannot take away Kimuchi, that's no manner"! I was shocked, I was just trying to eat more Kimuchi, that's all, not planning to take it away! (oh btw, I can take away free Kimuchi from other korean restaurants with no problem at all) How can such business grow in Cerritos, don't come, don't recommend.
Stopped in around 11:30am while driving through an area I wasn't familiar with, and I'm so glad I did. The cashier was incredibly kind and walked me through their all-you-can-eat salad bar since I was new to it. I ordered my favorite Korean soup, and it came out in a big black bowl, still boiling hot.
The salad bar had kimchi, cucumber salad, and a fish side dish that I still can't name but need to eat again. Everything was fresh and delicious. The soup itself was outstanding — I savored every bite and finished the whole bowl (the rice wasn't really my thing, but that's a minor note).
By the time I left, the place had filled up with regulars. I was the only non-Asian person there but felt completely welcomed. Great food, genuine hospitality — will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
