What to Order
Jajjangmyeon (Black Bean Noodles)
A classic Korean-Chinese noodle dish featuring thick noodles coated in a rich, savory black bean sauce, often with minced meat and vegetables.
"Their jiajangmyeon + crispy pork sour sauce is best in town !!!"

Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup)
A hearty and flavorful Korean soup made with pork bones, potatoes, and various vegetables, often served in a hot pot.
"The kamjatang jeongol ($47.99) is a hot pot stuffed to the gills with pork bones, potatoes, rice cakes, zucchini, and even enoki mushrooms and jalapeno garnishes. The broth wasn’t very salty but still flavourful and once you let the peppers steep into the broth, they add a lovely spicy kick."
Gastro W.
Bossam (Steamed Pork Belly)
Tender slices of steamed pork belly served with fresh lettuce, napa cabbage, turnip, and a savory bean sauce for wrapping.
"Another substantial dish is the steamed pork bo saam ($49.99 for large) where slices of pork belly are kept warm on a hot plate. Diners tuck these soft meat slices into lettuce, Napa cabbage, and turnip with a smear of the savoury bean sauce for a protein packed bite."
Gastro W.
Tangsuyuk (Sweet and Sour Pork)
Crispy fried pork pieces coated in a sweet and sour sauce, a popular Korean-Chinese dish.
"The black bean sauce noodle here is the best i ever tried paired with sweet and sour pork top notch!!"
