| - Was visiting my BF in Smithton and wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to get some kimchijigae and turned to Yelp for suggestions. So happy to have found this place. One of the newspaper articles in the restaurant describes the owner as a one woman show and that is absolutely true. Especially with the intimate setup, it's like walking into a Korean mom's kitchen. We were there at 2pm on a Saturday and the place was full (only seats about 10) and service was really slow, because like I said, it's a one woman show. She was doing everything from taking orders & payment, food prep, cooking, and waiting. However, the food made the wait absolutely worth it. It took about 40 minutes to be served, but the mackerel kimchi stew, fried mandu (dumplings) and kimchi & pork fried rice were all so delicious. There was a generous portion of mackerel in the stew, the mandu was perfectly crispy, and the fried rice was really yummy and a huge portion. It's honestly better than the Korean food I've had in KTown LA, KTown NYC and Annandale, VA. I was so surprised with it being the middle of nowhere PA. Ms. Kwon repeatedly thanked us for our patience and checked in on us multiple times. Even though the food was really slow to come out, I would still absolutely recommend this hole in the wall.
