I’m obsessed with this place now. I can’t remember how I found it but I’m glad I did. Their bento boxes are wonderful. I love that they always change the side dishes you get with it and so far all have been delicious. I’ve had spicy pork and Korean bbq beef so far, preferred the pork. The chicken wings are probably the best I’ve had in Coralville/NL/Iowa city..soooo good and cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to try the whole menu.

Had the Korean Spicy Pork Lunch Box and was definitely satisfied. As Korean who eats Korean food on a regular basis, it was an enjoyable delicious meal. I could see that a lot of effort went into creating this lunch box; the side dishes were very tasty as well. I will return to try more in the future.

Tried the beef Bulgogi bowl, chicken bowl, chicken bites, and the triangle snacks. All were good, especially the bowls. Lots of food for the price and the staff was super friendly.

My husband and I spent a year in Korea over 20 yrs ago. We loved the bulgogi there. Ordered it at LA Gourmet and it was not bulgogi. Did not like it. Authentic bulgogi does not come with egg and abunch of vegetables.

The best Korean restaurant ever! Tried their bulgogi box and was very pleased! After awhile I noticed their menu has expanded. Everything is great. Especially their chicken rice porridge! Comfort food. Reminds me of my mom’s when we got sick. The soups (broth) are the best. I taste the umami! Will order next the tteok-bokki & ramen. A must-have when watching K-dramas on Netflix & Viki (rakuten).
