Very dear Korean mom and her husband. Warm and helpful. It is very cozy and we feel at home. The dinner is a lot and very tasty. Lots of self-collected and home-made vegetables. Very healthy and very tasty 😋 She also makes grape juice and rice milk herself. Ask about it, it tastes really delicious! She goes up the mountain every day and gets fresh mountain spring water. Very healthy and very fresh! The rooms are all large and very clean. Only the street next door is a bit noisy. Domo arrigatou gozaimasu ❤️

The owner is very friendly and always welcomes you warmly!The male staff are actually very kind as well, which I appreciate.Korean food is so delicious that you can't stop eating it and end up eating way too much!The seasonings are made with fruits and lots of natural ingredients, so you'll be addicted to it.This is my favorite restaurant that satisfies both my stomach and soul.The signboard has also been updated, so I will upload it with a photo of the owner and master!

Portion of food is huge! We could not finish all of them and thankfully the kind ahjumma packed it for us to takeaway🥡 restaurant ambience is very homely and warm, ahjumma is also very friendly~ but if you like spicy food then this is not the place for you.. ahjumma asked us if we could take spicy and we said yes, but the dish came and it was totally not spicy at all (and my spicy tolerance is very low!!)

A hidden restaurant run by a married couple. At first, I thought it was nice because it was cheap, but there was a dog 🐶 in the restaurant. It wasn't wandering around, but since it's a long-haired dog, I was worried that there might be hair flying around. It might be better not to worry about that at all.

Korean omoni (literally translated as mom, but here we refer to the person in charge of the shop)A Korean restaurant run by her and her husband.From the entrance, it looks like the hurdles are quite high, but when you actually enter the store and exchange words with the owner,That will disappear in no time.The menu changes daily, soIt would be best to call the store to confirm before visiting.There is no doubt about the taste.delicious.There is a parking space right next to the store.So, if you talk to Omoni in advance, you may be able to get free parking.This is very useful information for those who want to go by car.The shop has counter seats and a tatami room.It's not very spacious.If you are concerned about honey,I think a counter seat would be fine.Oh, and also.The quantity is just too much. lolAlthough I am happy,It might be a good idea to add your wishes before ordering, just in case.Also,If there's a Korean dish you've always wanted to try,It is also a good idea to discuss this with your mother.Even if it is not possible on that day,I'm sure it will come true at a later date!It's worth visiting once.
