The owners have changed. Since the change, the food has become lower and lower in quality while prices keep rising every few months or so. Understandable if it's due to inflation, but obviously not the case if prices increase only over a few months! I've had most of my usual dishes here since before the turnaround, ranging from spicy pork and kimchi stirfry to the summer's seasonal cold noodles. I was always impressed with the cleanliness of the place as well as the extremely tasty dishes and sides (banchan), but I can't say this anymore. The new owners do not take care of the cooking, while the old owners were owner-chefs. Perhaps they hold different perspectives on what they want to prioritize. I returned a couple of times after the change and tried their beef bulgogi dish as well as their dumpling soup, and both were subpar in quality. The beef was too sweetened and tough/stringy, while the dumplings were the frozen cheap type and the soup base was super watered down.
I don't think I'll return here again nor recommend it anymore as the best korean restaurant in ktown to my colleagues or friends. Very disappointed about how the place has completely changed.
