This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I had a misunderstanding with the waiter, but the way they handled it was beyond unacceptable. I specifically mentioned that I’m gluten-free, but they still brought me soup with gluten noodles. I assumed they would substitute it with rice noodles, as that’s a common practice in most decent restaurants. When the soup arrived, I politely informed the waiter that I couldn’t eat gluten and wouldn’t eat the soup, as I hadn’t even touched it. I asked for a replacement, but instead of accommodating my dietary restriction, the waiter rudely responded, “That’s your problem, you have to pay for the soup,” and then walked away without offering any solutions. The service was absolutely horrendous. They didn’t care about my dietary needs or the mistake they made. The staff here clearly doesn’t care about their customers at all. If you have any dietary restrictions, be prepared to be treated like it’s your fault. You’ll be forced to pay for food you can’t eat, and they’ll just shrug and tell you it’s not their problem before walking away. I will NEVER come back to this restaurant again. Avoid this place at all costs if you value basic respect and decent service.

I had never had Korean food before, but after going to this restaurant many times, I learned that Korean food is my favorite cuisine. The food here is that good. It's always a huge difficulty deciding if I should get something I've already had and love or something new! I've only had one meal that wasn't a personal favorite (though it was still very good, it just wasn't totally my jam) but every single other appetizer or entree I've had, I crave on the regular. My husband loves it here too, and I've loved all the meals he's gotten as well. They're also great about having gluten-free options! Also, everyone is super friendly. My son is 3 months old, and when he was only about a month old, I took him here. I was having a hard time eating my stone bowl meal because I was trying to hold him and eat at the same time (difficult with how hot the stone bowls are), but our server was awesome! She mixed it up for me and then brought me a little plate to eat off of so he wouldn't get close to the hot bowl. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!

This is great! Get a stone bowl... You really won't regret it, but if you do regret it, you don't have a soul and never deserved to eat here in the first place... There's vegetarian and gluten free options and for those of you that are both, there's options for you as well. PS - with this review, I'm now a Level 3 Google reviewer, so I know what I'm talking about... Now get in there and get you a scorching hot stone bowl, you champion of culinary consumer.
