What to Order

Aromatic and flavorful stew with a rich seafood essence that is perfectly balanced and not overwhelming.

Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup)
A pleasant and flavorful soup featuring incredibly tender pork that effortlessly falls off the bone.
"The flavor of the gamjatang was also very pleasant and the meat was just so tender that it fell off the bones with minimal effort (I had to take a picture of it cause it was just so satisfying)."
Joanne

Flavorful and well-executed dumplings, praised as an absolute favorite by many.

Kimchi Jjigae
