  Been here for so many years always love the food here. Their Gamja Tang is always on point food is very fair price. A bit hole in the wall but definitely authentic food. Definitely recommended!!!

  There is a HUGE FLY in my potato rib soup. They took it away very fast and I haven't have the chance to take a picture of it. It is not just a regular size fly, it is a hugeeee one, the leg is almost as long as a cockroach. Can you imaging how disgusting that is？ After u 2/3 done with the soup？ i throw up right away.
  The worst part is, there employee who has a heavy eyeliner ajuma, has a very bad attitude, keep yelling and keep speaking Korean to me. I spoke English back to ask for discount for the bill, she gave me that look and asked " excuse me????"
  Ok, I will never come back here after eating here for 5 years.

  Eh...Pictures can always be deceiving..and perhaps its just because we are not accustomed to Korean Palates. The BF and I decided to try a new place because it had gotten such rave reviews and the photos looked good. What reviews didn't say were that items were a bit on the pricier side for the portion that you receive. Now if you look at the photos I took it makes the dish look a bit larger then it really was.
  
  Mom was surprised by her udon soup in that she was like it looks like a huge bowl but behind all those slices of fish cake were a few noodles and an egg.
  
  BF ordered the ox tail bone soup and was highly disappointed it was so small. Lucky for him he decided to get the  Donkatsu...Oh but that was about 15.99.
  
  Myself I ordered the buddae jjigae which was overly acidic...I mean I like sour stuff...and Kimchi doesnt bother me but I felt like I was consuming
  hot kombucha.  
  
  Lets  put it this way if your looking for  soondae or bossam this is the place. But if your looking for other korean dishes. It is probably best to search the rest of annandale to find a more affordable and better option.   Our  4 dishes set us back about  $50+ tax. Normally I don't care about a price tag if the quality of the meal is there but this was just  mediocre.

  This place has decent Korean food. If you are craving soondae this is a convenient place to go to. We ordered the regular soondae which was good. I do wish it was more fresh, but all in all it's good food. We also ordered the fried soondae. This was really good and I loved it. Even though I have had better. It is still pretty good. It is soondae fried in a spicy sauce with various vegetables and noodles. Lastly, we ordered the pork wraps. The pork was pretty tender and soft, but again I have had better. I liked how they give you a lot of side dished. All in all, not a bad place to go for decent Korean food.

  Two words: budae jeongol.
  
  What is this delicious dish, you may ask? Kimchi broth with tofu, spam, sausage, and ramen noodles. You read that right - ramen, tofu, spam, sausage, and kimchi in a kimchi broth! It's as good as it sounds. Meant to be shareable for the table, it's $29.99 and worth every single penny.
  
  We also shared a soondae bokeum ($16.99), or stir-fried soondae (Korean blood sausage) with veggies. The taste of soondae is quite mild and if you haven't had soondae before, I think trying it here is a good idea. Also if you never had jokbal or pig feet before, this restaurant does that too.
  
  Would definitely come back for more soondae and certainly more budae jeongol. A lot of reviews mention that the cleanliness and service is somewhat less than desirable but I had no trouble with service and while I would not lick off the floor, I didn't find any significant health hazards while I was here.
