Walked in and a sweet lady said it was usually reservation only but she still helped me. I ordered the beef bulgogi and the bi bim bap to go. The food was delicious. If you want to enjoy this place, I 100% suggest calling to make a reservation or to order ahead, but the food is worth doing so. Will definitely be back.

Best Korean restaurant in SA by far. Don’t be scared off by the appearance. I’ve been to most of the Korean restraints in SA and this place is the most authentic (native Korean sparking here). I’ve had their homemade kimchi kyoza, spicy pollock soup, spicy pork, and spicy octopus over two different visits and they were all delicious. Price is similar to all the other Korean restaurants. Go here. Go twice.

A very small space hidden away on Rittiman Rd, but absolutely awesome! Everything is cooked to order by the mamasan owner/chef so you may have a bit of a wait, but the wait is totally worth it. Due to the small size and limited seating, reservations are requested.
