I have eaten here several times and every time it has been great. The Kimchi Stew is wonderful and spicy . I can not recommend this place enough for people that enjoy Korean food.

The place was small, but clean and interesting. The pictures on the wall were pretty cool. The owner came out and explained all the food, and gave us good suggestions based on what we liked. The food was perfect in every way. It was hot, flavored perfectly, and I ended up buying a whole jar of kimshi home. They have a fridge with jars of freshly made kimshi and other items. I will definately be back, and I traveled 65 miles to get there. The owner and her husband have been in business for 30 plus years, so authenticity is definately there. Don't miss this one. You won't be sorry.

This place is the real deal! My boyfriend and I came here during our stay on Jekyll Island and were extremely impressed! The food is awesome and such a unique find. As someone who is Korean food enthusiast, this place is on the same level as spots in Miami, NYC, and Atlanta. If you decide to support this family business, you won't be disappointed! Highly reccomend the LA Galbi; it's 10/10.

We were in the Brunswick area to explore and came upon this Korean restaurant. Upon walking in, it is very reminiscent of a mom and pop shop. Very cute and lots of photos of menu items throughout the shop. Plenty of parking around as it was in a small, outdoor strip like complex. The service was great and the ladies were super sweet and accommodating. We chose a table and were waited on immediately. They give you a lot for the prices you are paying for. I will say the prices are a little bit on the pricier side, but the quality and portion sizes were wow! We got the following: Kimbap: 8/10 - essentially like their version of a sushi roll but it's filled with daikon radish, rice, carrots, bulgogi, veggies, etc. For the price, you get alot! Like two rolls! The rolls are cut up into sushi-like pieces and each bite is more delicious than the last. Tip is to dip it in some soy sauce for extra flavor. Galbi short ribs: 9/10 - I love galbi and depending on the place, they either give you thin cuts (which I've had about 85% of the time at Korean restaurants) but here, the pieces were not only thick, but huge! We had a hefty portion and although it was thick, it was tender and fell off the bone! My husband and I shared the plate and we still had some leftover to take to-go! The marinade was just right as it was sweet, salty, and oh so delicious! Beef bulgogi bibimbap in a hot stone pot: 9/10 - my husband always gets this and their version of this exceeded his expectations, It came sizzling hot and the flavors were dancing on his palette! Bibimbap generally means along the side of "mixing rice" and that's exactly what you have to do here. It comes with the meat, veggies, rice and since this is the hot stone pot version, you have to mix it right away when you get it so the rice doesn't burn. However, if you're like us and like the bits of crispy, burnt rice at the bottom of the pot, then wait a few more minutes to mix it. I feel that burnt rice enhances the flavor of everything else. They also have a regular version without the hot stone pot if you're more into that. This came with a side of gochuchang (Korean red pepper paste) and not sure what brand they use or if they made it in house but it tasted pretty good. All the dishes came with rice and banchan (side dishes). My only critique is that I wished they had more side dishes but that's okay. The ones they provided were delicious, especially the kimchi. Overall, a nice place with authentic Korean food. I cannot wait to come back to try more dishes on the menu! If we're in the area again, definitely stopping by again.

The restaurant is located in a plaza that shares a parking lot with other businesses [no need to parallel park here :)]. The restaurant does not easily accommodate large groups. The seating is made up of moveable tables pushed together. Due to room dimensions, the largest group that this place can seat comfortably is approximately 10 people at once. This is a good spot for smaller groups. The food was solid. I had the Tofu Soup with eggs/clams and was able to adjust the spicy level as needed. The flavor was pretty great. Others in my party ordered bulgogi (beef, chicken, and pork) and all mentioned that they really enjoyed it. The japchae (glass noodles) was really great as well (we had this to share with the group). I was also impressed by the banchan (side dishes). Loved the potatoes and bean sprouts especially! Soju and beers are also served at this location and can complement your meal should you need it. Not a big fan of the fact that they charge $3 for a bowl of rice if you get something (e.g. hotpot) that doesn't come with some rice already (e.g. bulgogi) The only downside is that the location can feel slightly understaffed, if you're coming at peak times or if the restaurant is busy. The staff was helpful and friendly, but you may need to remind them of water refills. Final payment is done at the front of the restaurant. Food pricing is in the $20-$30 range for dishes for one. All in all, I would definitely come back for more (with a smaller group).

What an amazing Korean Restaurant housed in Brunswick, GA. We were happily greeted upon entry. It is a sweet little restaurant. The menu can be found on the wall. That might help you order. Be prepared to wait a little bit for your food. It's worth the wait. Bulgogi is always a safe item to order at a Korean restaurant if you are new to ordering . The stone bowl did not disappoint. I would consider coming here once a week to try all of the dishes if I lived in the area. If I'm passing by again, I'll definitely return. I hope you try this very nice Korean restaurant and if you do based on this review, I hope your dining experience is as wonderful as mine.
