“ I thought it would be similar to other restaurants because it was Korean food. However, I got to experience Korean food in a new style here. Everything was delicious, and the portions were large. Above all, both the restaurant and the food were very clean!! ”
“ The food was fresh and delicious! It was our first time trying it and we have no complaints. They stayed busy from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out, definitely recommend and look forward to eating here again. Pictured are the Bulgogi Bowl with white rice/carrots. Korean Corn Dog Mozarella with sugar on top (SO GOOD!) and the sweet and spicy chicken with fried rice bowl. The milkis and banana milk drink were tasty as well but they have regular drink options as well. ”
“ The food was excellent, with a decent portion sizes! Ordering was quick and simple, the prices are also at a great value, and once again I have to reiterate; the food was great! Tasted really authentic, unlike some places that call themselves “Korean cuisine”. Looks like I found a regular spot for Korean food!! ”
“ The food was excellent! The flavors are authentic and reminded me of Korean food I can get in Atlanta or Los Angeles. I was pleasantly surprised. Be warned—the ddukbokki is on the spicy side, so consider requesting a milder level. We will be back again! ”
“ We found this place by chance on GrubHub and felt it was worth coming in for the Korean corn dogs instead of getting food delivered. And we're so glad we did! We had the potato and also the original corn dogs, calamari, and dumpling soup. We'll be back to try the bowls and bibimbap soon! ”
“ Honestly, this has to be the best authentic Korean food that I have tried in Chattanooga. I will most definitely come back. I had the bibimpa , fried tofu soup, and some Fried seaweed rolls. Not one of them disappointed they were so good very flavorful and fresh. ”
“ Found this place a little over a year ago. Good food. Prepared as requested each time(allergy). Service has always been friendly. Price is just right for what you get. Have tried several dishes here, all are great. Looking forward to the next time I dont have to cook dinner. ”
“ Look it's not an amazing visual experience. It's kinda small but don't let any of that fool you the food is amazing. You walk in and order at a kiosk but as a person with food dye allergies I'm always afraid of anything red but no issues they make almost everything in house. I have eaten almost every thing here and have yet to be disappointed it's not super expensive but it's not cheap but you won't be getting cheap food either. I would recommend trying it at least one and like most reviews on here I highly recommend the corndog with sugar it's sounds odd but trust me it's . ”
