  • House-Made Fresh Daily Kimchi Tradition

    Unlike standard aged free-flow banchan, the kitchen prepares crisp geotjeori kimchi daily to cleanly complement rich broths and roast dishes.

    we ordered their special “fresh” kimchi - which is made fresh daily & it was very good.

  • Rotisserie Chicken Roasted Over Crispy Flavored Rice

    Diners gather to share whole-chicken feasts pairing fall-off-the-bone herbal soups with rotisserie chicken served sizzling over scorched rice.

    We had delicious Hangbang (Korean roast) chicken which sits suprisingly on a bed of flavored rice.

  • Bubbling Stone Pots with Fall-Off-The-Bone Chicken

    Whole birds slow-cooked until the meat easily detaches from the bone create a deeply comforting dining tradition that satisfies pairs and groups.

    Tender whole-chicken samgyetang served bubbling hot in a stone pot — rich, clean ginseng broth with jujube and black sesame, and the meat falls right off the bone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are the soup portions, and does samgyetang come with rice?

Samgyetang portions are generous and come stuffed with glutinous rice inside the chicken, so ordering an extra bowl of rice is usually unnecessary. Diners note that a single chicken soup can easily satisfy one person or be shared between two when paired with sides like pancakes.

Is kimchi served complimentary with your meal?

While standard side dishes accompany the meal, fresh house-made geotjeori kimchi is served separately as a paid add-on ($5 per plate) rather than as unlimited complimentary banchan.

Do you need to reserve or pre-order certain dishes in advance?

Yes, reservations are accepted. Pre-ordering is especially recommended if you plan to have the duck herbal soup, which is prepared in limited quantities.

Is the restaurant family- and child-friendly?

Yes, the restaurant accommodates families with children, providing high chairs, and offers mild, tender chicken dishes and soups suitable for kids.
