I went in on a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy. The service was really fast and I got my food soon after ordering. The standard bibimbap has a lot of toppings but I wish there was more meat. They offer a galbi bibimbap at a higher price, so I'd recommend ordering that if you want a bigger portion of meat. I really liked their bibimbap sauce, it was sweet and not too spicy for someone who doesn't have a strong spice tolerance.

I have order from this place a few times I think it deserves a s review and more!!! I have always ordered to go and never at at thsi location. With that being said even though the food was delivered the food quality was still on point. I ordered the spicy beef soup and it prob one of my favorite along side with the kimchi soup.

To compare with Pho next door, broth of the soup is not as flavorful as Pho. I barely can taste anything but boiled water for my rice and dumplings soup. But the lady cashier is beyond friendly and amazing.

After watching this Korean cooking reality show, I was craving to try authentic Korean food that was not the typical kbbq. This place showed up on our food delivery app, and we are SO happy to have this gem in this area of LA. We really really like the food here! We usually order the yuk gae jang (spicy beef soup). Mix in some rice in there. SO GOOD. We have tried the bibimbap, bone soup, and ginger chicken soup, and a couple more; they were all tasty! We gotta support this place; wouldn't want them to leave!

A MUST when visiting LA! I can't even begin to explain how incredible the food was - it was hands down the best I've ever tasted. We ended up ordering *7* dishes, and let me tell you, every single one blew me away! But let me start with the absolute star of the show - the *Yukgaejang*! This dish is now officially *Top 1* on my list. The spicy beef soup had the most rich, deep flavor - each spoonful felt like a warm hug for my soul. The tender beef, perfectly spiced broth, and those amazing hints of garlic and vegetables made it the ultimate comfort food, but with an exciting, fiery kick that I couldn't get enough of. It was incredibly satisfying; my boyfriend got another one to go. The rest of the dishes were just as amazing! I was in food heaven the entire time. The service was top-notch too--attentive, friendly, and always on point. If you're in LA, you absolutely *have* to make this place a priority. The best Korean food in town! Wish we had this back in NYC

Couldn't find a "BDC"-esque tofu house in Pasadena and so happy to find one in Eagle Rock! A bigger plus is that there is a large parking spot (which is a treasure in eagle rock!) -- We got lucky on a friday night around 6PM and was able to find a parking spot but I used to come to this Vons plaza after work and it can be very hard to find parking during the day FYI. Food= *(Soft Seafood Tofu Soup) -- I would totally get again. minus-1 for no spice preference but still very good. I usually get mild and this was definitely a more mild soup (just in case for the spice lovers out there, maybe you can ask for it to be spicier?); it had lots of protein and for 15$, not bad. (I do wish you could order a combo of soup and meat like BCD) *(Pork cutlet) -- my better half got this and to my surprise, it was such a hefty portion and the pork wasn't overly breaded. Highly recommend. Comes with rice and salad. *(Short Rib Plate)-- 21$ for short rib and rice. Pricey and almost wished we just got the 40$ plate but didn't want to spend so much because I know I could go to AYCE KBBQ for that price. It was good but not sure if it's worth the price. Service -- It was as best as it could be.There was one person manning the counter for in-dining orders and phone orders (which was non-stop) and he was the same person handing out the food/cleaning up. I felt so bad for him but he had an obviously tired attitude which I know would piss off some people but I didn't expect much and it was fine. You can self serve yourself some water from the silver water containers up in the fridge and bring it to your table without asking Overall-- This is a great much needed add to the Northeast LA/Pasadena area! Great for casual dine-in or to-go orders. We don't have many options for good korean tofu houses here and even though it's one option on the menu, I will definitely be back versus driving to K-town! There were many other soup options that you can try too!
