What Clients Say

A Very cool korean late night music bar in Santa Clara. I visited after a long shopping day with friend. I was delightful to have hot nice food at 9:30 pm. We were quick seated after arriving. Military soup: it is a pretty good one, the largest portion soup in the restaurant. I had it a lot back to college. It tastes still as good as it was ! Spicy Kimchi soup base mixed with sausages, spams, veggies, and pork. Kimchi pork fried rice: I love it with pork and one egg in the top! It is definitely delicious! The kimchi mixed pretty well with the rices! I gave 5 stars because I like it a lot ! I gave credits for opening late !

Kimchi fried rice is a must have! Restaurant is open late, good vibes, good music. If you don't like loud music, you wont like it. But I enjoyed. Felt like I was in a different place, like Korea! We also ordered chicken gizzards, Yakily soju steamed egg (so fluffy) and a large soup with sausage, spam, rice cake, noodles (enough for 2-3 people).

떡볶이 맛집 - 엽떡😋 Best place for tteokbokki. If you order Yeop Tteok (spicier than regular tteokbokki) it comes with fries combo you can dip in tteokbokki sauce.

Came here with a group of 10 to drink soju cocktails and that's exactly what happened. It was a fun vibe to just drink and hang out with friends. Food was decent and hit the spot when you're getting drunk LOL. Our bill came out to hella but it's as expected because we were just there to have fun. Drinks: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Vibes: 6/10 Value: ???
