beautiful place!! beautiful owners!! A M A Z I N G FOOD!!!!! 100% becoming a reg here

Food is phenomenal! Service is just what we like, not over the top nor bothersome. A very sweet and kind couple own and run this spot and it is a successful endeavor. Food comes out quick and hot and then you get left alone. You bus your own table but the gentleman who was in the kitchen was so nice to us and handled our trays for us. Ambience is just fine, nothing special but nothing offensive. We will be coming here for years to come if the food stays this solidly prepared. Bulgogi beef is exceptional.

I've been here twice now and will definitely return next time I'm in St Johns. The service is very friendly, the presentation is unexpectedly nice given the unpretentiousness of the restaurant, and the portion sizes are generous. Not a huge selection, but still plenty of things to satisfy even picky eaters, and the food is delicious. The best cheese corn I've had. I've also enjoyed the veggie bibimbap and the kimbap. Others in my party really liked the steak and the pork. Ambience is uncomplicated. A perfect place for a wonderful lunch.

It was amazing. The place is clean. You order on a tablet. It's fast and efficient. And yet customer service is phenomenal. Then the food comes out. It's presented in a beautiful way. And then it tastes fresh. It's perfectly prepared. It's high quality. I can't say a single bad thing about this place. I will drive all the way out to St. Johns to eat here. It's perfect for those who are gluten free, dairy free, vegan or not. My beef bulgogi was everything I wanted it to be.

Delicious Korean food. Not a ton of selection but too many choices complicate things-right?! I did my due diligence and read reviews before I went and took the advice of a few people who recommended the steak. I'm glad I did! The steak was perfectly cooked & seasoned. It came with a nice variety of sautéed veggies, rice and a side of marinated bean sprouts and kimchee. We also tried the tea. I'm not that fond of Asian teas as a rule because they lack flavor. But I really liked this tea made from corn. It had an interesting "bouquet", if you will. The flavor is nutty but definitely has an underlying corn flavor. Two friends with me got the vegetarian Bibimbap that features tofu. They said they enjoyed it. My other friend had the gochu-jang chicken, which she loved. We all remarked about the generous portion size. I took some of mine home and had enough for another meal. The ambiance is ok. Clean and not much in the way of decor. The service was polite, if impersonal. The food arrived neither quickly nor too slowly. Give it a try for some tasty Korean classics.

The steak was pretty good. Just the right portion. Steak was well cooked. Vegetables were crunchy. Ambiance and service were meh though. Felt like I was just there to eat. No experience

We happen to drop by this lovely little spot while exploring the St. John's area and we are so fortunate that we did. Everything from the decor and ambiance to the staff to the food, we couldn't stop raving about. As a quaint Korean shop, you order by using a touch pad. As it was our first time, the staff, who happen to be the family that owns the spot, were more than happy to explain the dishes and tell us their favorites! Although there were only two of us, we order three entrees. The mom of the shop even came out to make sure we had our order correct and didn't want to overcharge us! The food was simply amazing. Truly comfort food at its finest, but never lacking any details to the flavor profile and makes you feel right at home. The steak was cooked very nicely and the mint butter glaze on top was absolutely amazing. The vegetables were cooked nicely and served underneath with the gravy of the steak that brought a good balance to the dish. The tofu bibimbap was a good take on a classic dish. Probably one of the better bibimbap's I've had in my lifetime, had a good sense of savory flavor with a hint of sweet behind it. They provide two sauces, we loved both. The green sauce was more like a creamy pesto sauce and the red sauce was a gochu jang blend that really added to the dish. The ox bone soup was probably my favorite out of the three. This really made me feel at home. While being light and having a pure taste, the ox meat was hearty and good subtle taste. Each meal came with their own banchan. Because we order different entrees, I'm not sure if they gave us different ones to try on purpose or if the banchan are unique to the entree. Either way, we have kimchi, one with cabbage and one with daikon, beansprouts, and miso soup. I loved the kimchi, as it had a good sour taste while not being overly spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and would definitely come back and highly recommend! If you're ever in the area, stop by. It won't disappoint.

A absolutely amazing Korean spot. Located in St. Johns, it's a bit far from Portland but it's 100% worth the drive. They have simple menu and everything is delicious. The inside of the restaurant is cute, clean, and I love the look of natural wood. I got their edamame, cheese corn, japchae, vegetarian bibimbap, and gahn-jang beef and it was all so delicious. The edamame comes in two portion sizes, which such a nice option to have. The cheese corn is a nice generous portion and has the perfect amount of cheese with the corn. Japchae is delicious, but I just wish there were more veggies or some meat in it. The tofu bibimbap was a HUGE portion and they gave you a special spicy bibimbap sauce that complimented the dish perfectly. And, the gahn-jang beef was cooked to tender perfection and seasoned perfectly. Everything was delicious and I would love to come back. Service is so kind.

We came here with a friend who lives in the neighborhood, but had not been here yet. It's a super casual spot -- order at the counter, they bring your food and drinks to you, and then you bus your own table. I got the sweet night cocktail, which was a lychee and citrus drink. It was quite lovely! My partner got the after school special, which had a ton of strawberry flavor. For a main, I got the salmon. It was blackened, crispy, and packed with flavor! The steamed veggies were a great accompaniment as well. The meals also come with rice, kimchi, and bean sprouts. The menu had a lot of delicious-sounding options, and I would not hesitate to return!

Had an errand to do in St. John's and wanted to try somewhere new. Parking was a bit rough due to it being a Friday night around 5 pm. It's totally worth it! I got the vegetable bibimbap and edamame. When I got home and saw how large the bibimbap was, I was pleasantly surprised. The price is on point, and the flavor is bold and addictive. I raved to all of my friends as I was eating this meal, and I would go back again! Staff was very helpful.
