Home away from home,
While I am Filipino, my mother. Grew up cooking a lot of authentic Korean food, moving to the city it was quite worrisome whether I would find a place that would taste like "Mommas" cooking. But this place does it just right. The cleanliness, the quality of the food and the pricing is just right for a small buisness making an impact in the city. They cook with passion and purpose and for the past 2 years going here they have my support and my wallet 🫡
The restaurant was nice and sleek. I ordered my food on the self serve check out. My choice was the bulgogi tacos and the ginger honey tea it took less than 10 minutes and my order was ready! The food was delicious to say the least and I loved tea it had pieces of ginger in it and the sweetness of the tea was perfect!!! I must say I am very satisfied with my experience at this restaurant! I would definitely recommend!!! I will be back!!
This restaurant means so much to me. It is my favorite place in all of Philadelphia. I love to bring people here and it always feels like an amazing home-cooked meal whenever I go. I fully recommend going in person and eating there and supporting her business. I loved coming here when I lived in Philadelphia and her food always made me feel so much better. i love the Stone bowl way better in person than take out. On a winters day its perfect! Miss it here so much!
Looking for lunch and ran by this place. Love that it has self serve kiosk. Clean but small dining area. Good drink selection. Friendly staff. While I just got the tofu bibimpop I saw some other things I would like to try. The meal was good and I had a nice quiet lunch. Happy experience. Would come.bacj to try other things.

The attentive staff adds to the positive atmosphere, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring a pleasant meal. Whether you're a Korean cuisine enthusiast or a newcomer, this restaurant is a must-visit for its exceptional flavors and warm hospitality.
Nice. The food was good and new to me.
This place had an ordering touchscreen with a quick and easy interface. The entire place just smells amazing because the kitchen is open to the dining area from above. The food came out really fast with tidy and Instagram worthy plating. My partner got the spicy sauce on their food and I got the mild on mine. Neither were too hot that you couldn’t enjoy the food. If you don’t handle spice well just opt for the sweet sauce. Excited to visit again soon!
Great food overall. Wings were very crispy and moist. I got the spicy wings but they weren’t really spicy at all. Rice cakes are squishy and delicious. Scallion pancakes were delightful. Short ribs were a little bit fatty but tasty nonetheless. Egg rolls were also crispy. Yum yum.
The food isn't anything special. I accept the overpriced options due to the location. The atmosphere is really nice for a quick fix restaurant. The staff was friendly and prompt.
FYI This establishment is B.Y.O.B, so you know we had to grab a few beers before heading over to enjoy some grub. We heard a lot about this place, and so we had pretty high expectations. It wasn’t terribly expensive and was definitely affordable, and we had the fried chicken (which was VERY crispy and delicious) and we had one of the sizzling bowls where the food was STEAMING hot!!! It was delicious, their prices are affordable, and we loved the recessed booths that provide a little privacy while you are eating. Overall this was an awesome experience!
Great food, excellent service and fair prices. Authentic Korean fare. Great for lunch or dinner. The japchae with bulgogi was very good and they put the hot sauce on the side so you could put as much or little on as you wanted. We will definitely come back
Hidden gem. Amazing food, fresh ingredients, and nice staff. The forks and knives feel more like at home than a restaurant. 10/10 would recommend.
Outstanding!!! We enjoyed the dukboki, bibimbop and amazing kimchi & pork stew!! Would definitely come back on our next visit to Philly.
Great spot! Delish spot. Great service.
a long time favorite lunch spot for me. glad to see they weren't lost to the pandemic! the old location was a nicer building, but you still get the same great food and friendly service on 12th Street.
