I've only been there a couple times now, but the food is absolutely amazing and I've yet to be disappointed. I'm obsessed with the galbi tang (ribs soup) and loved the chicken wings with red chilli sauce.
Its a small space and definitely is no upscale restaurant, but I think the food more than makes up for it. Especially with the winter months coming up, I'll definitely be returning for that galbi tang every chance I get.
The only confusing thing for me is that the most prominent door is not the door you enter into.... there is a door to the left which I thought was side door.
I’ve been here a year now and this restaurant never disappoints! The woman is so sweet and the food is excellent! My favorite is the Jjambong, which is a spicy noodle soup with seafood and veggies. It has two mussels and shrimps, 3-5 strips of squid, spinach, bean sprouts, and green onions! It’s a big portion and it’s worth the money. I’ve gotten the gimbap, tofu soup, the mackerel, and other dishes before and it was great too! You always get side dishes! It’s different each time and my favorite is the fish cakes. I highly recommend eating here!

What a delight!
This is GOOD Korean food. Everything is made by hand. The chef is the owner, and she and the woman running front of house were friendly and just lovely. The chef even came out and personally chatted with everyone who was eating here.
Now, you are probably wondering how the food is? Oh, it is SO good. They could compete in San Francisco.
I received 4 size dishes. Pickled daikon (yay) a mysterious, Herby, spongy green I am unfamiliar with, and a new experience is a rare treat for me, fish cake strips (my favorite) and REALLY well-balanced kimchee.
I normally do not care for kimchee, but this was so good!
I got a seafood pancake and a squid and pork belly dish, which also had onions, hot pepper slices, and sliced savory fried rice cake. Also, of course, a bowl of rice to eat it on.
By default, I was given cold water rather than hot tea, but i found it was quite welcome today.
If you want GOOD Korean food, you should absolutely give this place a try. The people are so nice, too. They treat you like family.
Me: "this is all so good!"
Her: ""Oh! You are good also!"
Happy belly, happy heart.
Great authentic Korean food. The woman who owns the restaurant is extremely nice and willing to adjust the menu to suit your taste buds. Seating is a bit crowded but the meal more than makes up for it. You should really try the Korean Pancake (seafood or vegetarian). I was skeptical at first but now I order it every time. U also will be in for a treat if you try the Korean Fried Chicken. I can't tell you how many items on the menu I have tried and still enjoy everything. Everything tastes just as authentic as sitting in a South Korean mom & pop restaurant. If anything, please stop by and support this business to maintain the variety of culinary options in the Syracuse area.
Love love love! Extremely delicious. I got Yukgae Jung and it was so good. Could have been a little more spicy though 😉
If you're korean and near this place, mist visit. So so good 10 out of 5 stars for me.
Wings were amazing.
It was a late Saturday evening. Alas, I realize suddenly I have an urge for Korean food and I guess what I am out in the country…45 min away from a city that possibly will have Korean food. So my adventure into the city lands me at a rather humble looking kind of take out looking restaurant.
I ordered the standard Korean style Chinese menu - Tangsuyuk(deep fried sweet and sour) and Ganjjajang(Noodles with pork in black bean sauce). The thing is I wasn’t expecting a great super tasty Korean meal at a joint that looks like a takeout restaurant.
Alas, I was wrong. Once I started tasting the food, I was floating up above in a gourmet heaven dancing “Kangnam Style” and devouring them (although I wasn’t really hungry hungry). Fortunately it was close to closing time, and I was able to have a little conversation with the owner and I can’t say enough on how genuinely nice and kind the owner is.
I will have to say I probably had one of the best experience in Tangsuyuk and Ganjjajang of my life!
Amazing service! Sweetest people, amazing food and worth the price entirely. I was able to get two meals from my order. They even gave me samples of some other food that they think I would like in the future. Can't wait to go back!

What a delightful hidden gem! 🤣 I do mean hidden though, I had to call to find out which door led me to the restaurant!
To give you an idea of the food, and my credibility I want to share- I am Korean American and grew up on Korean food. my parents own a really well known Korean farm to table restaurant, we used to go down to the city every other week and eat out regularly and almost exclusively at Korean restaurants…
When I moved up to Binghamton, I was so sad, there weren’t any good Korean spots, the places in Ithaca and Syracuse that I tried were very mainstream and simplified to suit the American palate.
I ordered the YukGaeJang, a spicy beef brisket stew, and WOW. The broth was SO delicious, it was deep, beefy, and SUPER spicy, just like it’s supposed to be. The Kimchi was amazing, the fish cake was fantastic, all the sides were SO good.
The owner, a sweet hardworking woman, makes everything from SCRATCH! Hard to find in ANY Korean restaurant, and hard to find done well.
Syracuse residents, you’re so lucky to have this spot right here. I live in Binghamton, but will definitely be here regularly. What comfort food ☺️
We went here before a show at the Westcott, which is across the street. It was recommended to me by my Korean friend whose super Korean mother loves it there too. So I knew it was gonna be good.
Now, it's not a fancy place. Not a ton of tables. Only one, maybe two people working front of the house. But the food is terrific. We had some dumpling and a kimchi pancake. I also had a noodle dish that I can't remember the name. Japchai or something to the lilike. Regardless... it was really delicious. Not too heavy either, which is ideal if you're about to go dance for a couple hours.
This place sould be top of your must eat list. Everything we ate from the banchan to the main dishes were exquisite. I was able to substitute tofu for beef in the Cilantro Bokkeum, so good! Perfect amount of spicy. I highly recommend checking this place out of you're curious.
The Korean chicken wings were some of the BEST wings I've ever ate! We always get the spicy noodles, so no complaints there. I recommend 10/10!
Had delicious Mul Naengmyun and Bibim Naengmyun here.
Food was beyond amazing! Very filling and awesome flavor. Would definitely recommend anyone who has never had Korean BBQ to try this place out.
Honestly this is the best kept secret in Syracuse. The owner is the chef her daughter and son help with serving and delivery. Everything is fresh and made to order. Every single dish is better than the last. From giant fried squid to hot pots and kimchi even chicken wings are perfection.
Great food for a reasonable price. Every time I have been here the food has been full of flavor, from the main meal to the side dishes. The side dishes themselves are very tasty and a good variety are offered. As it is a growing business there are times when you may have to wait to be seated but don’t let that discourage you, the food is well worth it. The owner is friendly and does her best to accommodate everyone.
The food here is awesome. Very authentic tasting Korean cuisine. The restaurant is small and can get crowded but, it is well worth the wait. I have visited Korea several times and the food here at Gangnam brings me back with every bite. I recommend this for the adventurous eater or simply for those that love food and different tastes. Service is friendly and quick. Waits can be up to 15 minutes when full. This food is straight up good!!!!
