Seriously one of the best restaurants in West Texas. The best Asian food for sure. My spouse is Asian and a great cook so that’s really a big compliment from her.

Everything about this restaurant is top notch!! The staff are extremely kind and attentive. We had the pork egg roll and gyoza for appetisers and they were perfect! For entrees we had the #8 Manduguk which was a huge helping and the flavours of the broth and dumplings were so well balanced and delicate. Also I had the #17 Jeyuk Bokkeum “medium spicy” and the pork was so tender it literally melts in your mouth. They give you a ton of sides and sticky rice all of which complement the dish perfectly. Wish I lived in Lubbock but I would be broke from eating here every day!

We love this place! It has become one of our favorite Korean restaurants. Originally from the DFW area, we were surprised to find this quality of Korean cuisine in West Texas! Definitely worth a visit. The food, service, and atmosphere were all on point.

Such a wonderful experience! I will definitely be coming back. The service was excellent! The hosts were accommodating and answered all of my questions. They made everyone feel like a regular customer they know. The utensils were laid out and easy to navigate. The atmosphere was incredible and you can tell the owners put incredible thought and attention to detail into the decoration and layout of the restaurant. A tteokbokki craving was the reason I stopped by (and it exceeded my expectations!) but I also ordered Manduguk at the last minute and the broth was so flavorful! The sides… OH MY GOSH the SIDES! The best part of my meal and they make them fresh daily! I will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever had such incredible service anywhere else. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and able to order right away. While we were waiting, the owner came over to talk to us and was truly the sweetest. Her staff was just as kind, apologizing for any delays and quickly bringing anything we asked for. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but for quality Korean food in a city like Lubbock, it felt worth it. I also appreciated that they had all the utensils and extras laid out so I could grab exactly what I needed. Everything we ordered was delicious. We got the dumplings, fried shrimp, kimchi stew, and bulgogi beef. My boyfriend chose the spicy version of the bulgogi, and it wasn’t our favorite, but I think that was mainly because of the spice. If we had gone with the regular version, we probably would have loved it, since the beef and seasoning were still very flavorful. The dumplings were also really good and were gone in seconds. The shrimp was decent, though not particularly special, so I might skip it next time, even though the sauce it came with was very flavorful. The kimchi stew was the highlight for me. I absolutely loved it. Even though it looked like a small portion at first, it was actually very filling. It also came with a great variety of traditional side dishes, which they happily refilled when I asked. I really enjoyed getting to try different kinds of kimchi I hadn’t had before. We ordered extra rice to go with the stew, and it made the whole meal even better. The entire experience was wonderful, from the warm service to the cozy environment and tasty food. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it.

The food is amazing. I grew up in Southern California where they have some of the best Korean style plates and this place made me feel right back home. Amazing food, amazing service, I came in during dinner time and was still served within 20-30 minutes. I highly recommend to anyone looking for some quality food in a calm and delightful setting.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Lubbock! Food is authentic and delicious. The owners and employees are soooo nice, and eagerly welcome everyone with compliments. They gave us extra rice for free, and an extra side of potatoes. And since it was so cold today and I was shivering, they even had a space heater to warm me up. I’ve never seen such outstanding service. Also have to mention how cute and homey this restaurant is! I’ll definitely recommend this place to my family and friends!

The updated interior has a trendy café or lounge vibe, which was a pleasant surprise and an unexpected fusion we truly loved. The atmosphere was extremely nice and added an enhanced twist to the visit. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. We especially appreciated the counter-service format: order and pay at the counter, grab your own utensils and water, and the food is brought out when ready. This streamlined approach benefits both customers and the restaurant. By not having wait staff, the restaurant reduces overhead costs associated with training and ensures a more consistent experience for diners, removing the variability often tied to individual servers. Additionally, the cost of minimal-value-adding service isn’t passed on to the customer and inflating the cost of a visit.

Sweet Success

I love Korean food a lot. This place just got so much better with its new location and new owner. My husband tried it today in this location for the first time and he absolutely love it. The food was great and obviously it was home made. The owner was very hands on and would talked to his costumers casually. He was very accommodating and workers are very friendly. My next food trip will be at this place again. 😋
