Traveled 3 hours from Indianapolis to pick up some of this food! Worth the drive. Restaurant had a great social distancing set up inside for takeout. A bit pricey, but for someone who has limited Korean options, I was happy to let it slide and support this business.

Personal favorite was Japchae. Soft chewy noodles, wonderful umami flavor.

Kimbap was fresh and had a comforting taste, a familiar one.

Sides of rice were all perfectly cooked.

Kimchi is a bit spicy but effing delicious.

Kimchi pancakes were a bit oily and had a certain bitter taste at the end (I'm guessing from the oil). It reheated a lot better the next day when I threw ittit with the rest of my leftovers in a fried rice.

Can't wait to go back once the pandemic is over. Good luck!
