Just moved into the area. Happy to see a Korean restaurant option in my neighborhood. Service is attentive and informal. Definitely feel like we were guests vs. patrons. Make reservations if you plan on dining here on a Fri or Sat night. Chef will adjust the "heat" to your dish if you see an entree you'd like to try but you're concerned it will be too spicy. Apps were as good as the entrees. Good portions. Unusual dishes, all very flavorful. They'll plate your table up to share dishes or have your own entree if you'd prefer. This restaurant has moderately priced asian fusion dishes but some might consider it pricey for this cuisine. Still cheaper than a steak joint and a whole lot more eclectic. A fun place, change of pace for sure.The menu options are just adventurous enough that I have to warn readers that this is not your normal asian takeout. Be prepared for new flavors, recipes and condiments you wouldn't normally see at your table. This may not be for you if you're a meat & potatoes, American cuisine mid-westerner who doesn't normally like to try new things.Fit for foodies I suppose. In downtown Arlington Heights, close to the train so city patrons could easily dine here. No need for a car

Two couples, first Korean food experience and we all enjoyed our meal very much. Small, bright, very clean restaurant. The food is excellent and with all meals in the $10 range excellent value. We order dumplings to share as an appetizer and we all agreed they were the best we have ever eaten. Soups were hot and tasty and the bibinbap was great. Definitely worth returning to.

This place isnât just a good sushi/Korean restaurant for a strip mall, its a world class restaurant period. Iâve been here at least 30 times now. I would come with a group of friend many late nights and drink Soju, Sake, and eat tons of sushi. Now Iâve been much more adventurous and I have been woke to just how unbelievable their menu is. The Kimchi pork belly stone bowl, Hamachi Khan, and Spicy green mussel appetizer are all amazing dishes that would go over well even in a Michelin Star quality place. The owners and workers here are the best people, they always go out of their way to make us feel welcome and provide you with tons of extra tasty treats. Iâve been lucky to have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world and this place is my favorite, hands down.

Hidden gem! Was a little apprehensive when we arrived, we were the only patrons at 6:30p. But what a surprise! Customers, mostly Korean, started to arrive. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered Kalbi BBQ and the hot coal pot really adds to the flavors! Moondu (Korean Dumplings), dol sot bibam pap (hot pot rice bowls with mixed vegetables) and soon do tofu chigae were just like my mom used to make. The side dishes were a great mix and fresh. The one and only very very small disappointment was the Kimchi was served a little on the sour side. It's actually the way kimchi is made to be eaten but my son prefers the fresher, less fermented version as do I. Would have lunch and dinner there everyday for our trip.
