Order the seafood/tofu pancakes, the kimchi pancakes, kalbi ribs, soon tofu, or pork bone soup and I promise you won't be disappointed! This place is super cheap and consistently busy for a reason - because it's great! Definitely not a place for atmosphere, but for the price and taste its unbeatable.

Simple but tasty and very closeby. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Order ahead on Ritual as it gets pretty busy and can take a while to fulfill orders.
