Shockingly good. Like, I am so glad I happened to wander in! It's a Chipotle- or Mongolian BBQ-type setup where you select your ingredients and they are prepared for you into japchae stir fry or stew. But it is executed really well with amazing flavors and truly interesting items to select from. I got lotus root in my stir fry, there are a couple different mushrooms to select from there are proteins like shrimp and lamb and others, several types of greens and even the cabbage is available in full leaf or shredded format. You can really make this dish your own. I will say that even the number one is a fair amount of heat. But I'm telling you, the even with my nose running I was looking forward to every fork full.I really don't care about atmosphere so I just default gave it four stars. But the food and the service really deserve five stars.

This place is awesome! I missed authentic Asian food so much. I drove past this place and I just knew it was going to be amazing and I was right. The broth was so flavorful, the price was reasonable and it was such a good experience. This was also our first meal as a married couple and we couldnt have chosen a better spot. Highly, highly recommend!

It was my first time coming to this kind of restaurant and it was an absolutely amazing experience! This place has a very good atmosphere for semi introverted people as the tables arent too close together, but there are also larger tables for medium to large sized get together. The chairs are incredibly comfortable and the food came out very quickly. Every ingredient looks and tastes fresh, and the entire place is kept very clean! I got the second from most spicy option of broth(which was also delicious by the way) and it was perfectly spicy without overwhelming any of the other flavors. 10/10 will be coming here again!!!

Fantastic! Healthy, delicious, many fun ingredients to choose from and reasonable price by the ounce. Clean and bright atmosphere and friendly owner/staff. Great if you like spice! Will make this a regular lunch spot for sure.
