The service was slow and it was cold in there. But the food was good and the staff pleasant. We had the special for two and it could have fed four easily

Good place. Lunch prices so awesome. And they provide a rice with everything. You don’t have to pay extra money for rice which I think is ridiculous. I have Chinese places where you have to buy rice!

Good food, great value, and friendly service. It’s hard to find places like this still around! Love to stop in when I’m overnighting before the airport. Menu options and specials that are truly special.

They were closing at 10 and I came on the dot but they still served me chow mein to go! The food was delicious. I ordered beef and chicken (beef was my favorite)

Authentically old-school Chinese-Korean eatery. Masters of burnt onion and burnt cabbage flavors, sweet, savory. Seasonal specials written in Korean and Chinese on place mates taped to mirror walls, amazing. Sizzling Rice Soup (누룽지탕) truly sizzles, hard to find these days. 깐풍오징어, a thick crunch to calamari, tossed in sweet paprika sauce. 양장피 is flavorful and refreshing, a nice play on textures with raw cucumber, noodles, stir-fried pork and steamed shrimp. Mustard sauce tossed in tableside is a treat.

Delicious food! Friendly service! We walked over from our hotel at 9pm and were promptly and happily welcomed in. Our food was delivered quickly after ordering which was great as we were tired from a long day of travel. The kung pao chicken and garlic noodles were so good- just what we were looking for. Would absolutely order again! We recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving delicious Chinese food with friendly service.

A very solid Chinese restaurant in the area! I really love their lettuce wraps as well as their hand pulled noodle soups! The atmosphere is basic but it gets the job done very well. The tables and cloths are a little worn. Service is very friendly and the waiter can make good recommendations!
