It is a very good reasonably priced restaurant . I like the beef short ribs , the beef is very tender and well seasoned. I like the 5 or 6 small appetizer plates placed on table as one sits down.

Amazing tofu soup . One of my favorite Korean places, ever. I usually go for the mushroom tofu soup , but it's all good. I love the banchan here too! Very authentic , great and fast service !

Raymond Peck

I always get the haemul soondooboo (seafood tofu soup ) and daeji bulgogi (spicy pork ), my favorite Korean restaurant . Cell service is non-existent and dining area is loud but still worth it.

Can get crowded but it's a great lunch spot for a change of pace in Palo Alto. I recommend the spicy tofu soup with kimchi and bulgogi .

Sherry Li

Private parking lot but gets busy on a Friday night. Wait wasn't too long and turnover is fast. Tofu soup is legit. Good banchan too.

Herbert Yang

Not necessarily the best Korean restaurant around Stanford, but everyone has heard about it and been there. It's close to Escondido Village . The line is usually long but it's worth the wait.

Open Sunday! Generous sizzling BBQ platter portions. Soon dubu is on point, and if you ask, will give you the spiciest in the Bay area. Ban chan includes kimchee with oysters ! Yum

You'll smell like Korean food after you're done. Really the only Korean restaurant in palo alto so it's usually very crowded by 6pm. Get here at 5:30 pm and you're good to go

Caroline Deng

Vegetable tofu is really good, but I'd recommend getting it medium spicy at least. Service is typical Asian service (aka nonexistent) but at least the male waiter is hella cute .

Kelley L.

Bibimbap is excellent. I usually go for the beef as the meat.

Bianca Navarro Bowman

Got the tofu soup with dumplings and added ramen -- was absolutely delicious!!! Definitely would come back!!

Koji KOMATSU

Great korean restaurant . I always order Conbination Tofu Soup , and add Bibimbap or BBQ Beef (Bulgogi ) according to mood.

Eduardo Rodrigues

Can't go wrong with the house specials .

Karan Bedi

The beef bibimbap was outstanding. The bulgogi was also pretty good.

Christopher T

Bibimbap was some of the best I’ve ever had.

Alex Kim

Always love good soon dubu but they don't serve the rice in the stone pots! What's up??

Alice Fang

Soft tofu with cheese tastes better than it might sound, if you want a slightly creamier soup base

Armelle Goreux

Soup used to be a lot better in my opinion but still alright. Bibimbap is good. The cold noodle soups are a bit expensive . And... The dokboki is actually really good.

Celeste Wong

Come before 6pm before it gets crowded - popular place even on week nights.

Omer Zach

Great soft tofu soup . Regular is almost definitely spicy enough.

Becca Atherton

Truly authentic Korean BBQ . Loved their Dugolgi!

Hope

Even if lots of people are waiting outside, the wait for a table is pretty quick.

Andrew Sandler

The Bibimbap is awesome. Highly recommend.

Jeffrey Zhao

Medium tofu soup combo . Amazing.

Cecilia Zhang

Great tofu soup and seafood pancake

Cristina Casas

I was coming with high hopes, but I left the place very disappointed. The bbq chicken isn't bbq , too much sugar on it. the beef bibimbap was ok. I don't recommend it and,obviously, I'm not coming back

Xin Niu

The Korean food here is pretty good. But it's very busy. So prepare to wait.

When you get the tofu soup wait for it to cool down, unless you want to singe you're taste buds

Don't get the cheese soondubu unless you like cheetos flavored soup . It's not melted on top it's mixed in. Stick with the basics!
