“ The food is so good! They have traditional Korean food and some fusion food. I had the kimchi burger and it was so good. It's a little hard to find under the stairs, but definitely worth it. The staff is so kind and very funny. They love to chat and make everything feel so welcoming. ”
“ **Nifty & Authentic** Preface: This tucked away restaurant houses the best homestyle Korean cooking you'll find here in Downtown Orlando. In the bustling heart of Orlando, this spot is the place to be if you want to decompress with feel good Korean cooking. Food: My party had the Bulgolgi Ramen with Bone Broth, the Bulgolgi Bento Box, and the Bulgolgi Platter with vegetables. The food was feel good homestyle cooking and tasted amazing. The bone broth was creamy and umami with fresh noodles and a jammy egg. Service: The service was lackluster, but with good reason. The owners were the only ones working and they hustled to do their best with both cooking, taking orders, bussing, and doing inventory. They are very nice and hard-working so do be patient. Wait times can get up to 25-30 minutes both before and after your order is taken, so be prepared to wait. Atmosphere: A small intimate space decorated with Asian Pop Culture icons and anime. Clean but cluttered. Overall: Come through to relax and unwind in this small ramen bar. It's for sure the spot to get a good heart-warming meal after a busy day. ”
“ Amazing fresh and homemade Korean food. I've been coming for years and the food is always consistently delicious. And Helen, the Owner, is so sweet and knows the names of all her regular customers. ”
“ I've been to this restaurant 4x and it never disappoints! The Bulgogi Beef Bone Broth Ramen is always good! I believe this is the best broth I've ever tried- very flavorful! The owner is very friendly too and I like how the place looks so cozy. I've brought my family here as well and I can't wait to go back! ”
“ My experience at this restaraunt is from several years ago, I ate here October 20th, 2021 for my birthday dinner and was thinking of the wonderful food from here since it's around that time again. I just realized I never made a review. I got the seafood tteokbokki, it was phenomenal. I have yet to find another restaraunt in Florida or Georgia to make tteokbokki like this, usually they just serve tteok on the side. The woman who was working was so nice. She accommodated my sister who is very picky with her food and she says to this day that was the best teriyaki chicken she's ever had. She put on Squid Game because I'd said I hadn't seen it yet and she made herself food and sat and ate and watched with us since no one else was coming in. As soon as we got home, me and my family finished the show because it was just as good as she said it was! I'd love to stop by again and watch season 2 when it comes out. ”
“ The bulgogi bowl was flavorful and balanced. Sometimes eating Korean BBQ feels heavy but this was filling without that feeling. Not one for the anime decorations personally but the food was so good, I will definitely be back when I'm in Orlando again ”
“ Between the friendly service and home like ambience. This is a wonderful spot to come and get a quick bite or on a first date. The food for the flavor on abundance of items on the menu and very kind polite and friendly lady. That I believe is co owner. I would highly recommend this place if you are downtown in Orlando. It is tucked away inside one of the movie theater on the first floor but it is most definitely worth the drive. And experience. The ramen and bowls are fire!! ”
“ From the humble atmosphere to the great owners, I recommend this place 1000%. The doodles on the walls, plus the anime and KPOP banners make this a home away from home experience. The food was well priced and amazingly good, when I visit Orlando again, I won't waste time looking around for where to eat good Korean food, cause this is THE spot. ”
