The Scene
The mom-and-pop operation is sparsely furnished with maroon tables and booths, but regulars don't go for the ambience. Lunch and dinner specials for $5.99 and $6.99 appeal to locals; in-towners make the trip to satisfy late-night cravings. Service is polite and swift.
The Food
Don't let the tofu in the name fool you. Vegetarian dishes abound, but there are also plenty of meat and seafood specialties. Straightforward descriptions on the numbered menu make it easy to navigate. For more traditional choices, try the spicy kimchi soup or Korean-style marinated beef. Tofu soups are popular with eight flavors, from oyster to shrimp. Standards include fried rice and chicken teriyaki. The rice hash served in a clay pot, or bibim bop, is a fried mix of mushrooms, egg, spinach and sprouts which comes with a dozen smaller side dishes including two styles of kimchi.

This placed used to be quite good with 2 nice Korean ladies. Not having been there for 6 months, everything's turned to s**t. This Korean b***h, who we've never seen working there before, was first reluctant to take our orders when 2 other friends haven't showed up yet. Uh, hello? We are the only customers there at 11p with 10 other tables empty. The menu choice is drastically cut and prices went up. They are so cheap to replace the menu that they just put white tapes over the discontinued items. We were treated as if that is the only restaurant in town and is so important we have to eat there. Screw this piece of work! In this economy and this attitude, I'd be surprised if they last through May. I'd strongly recommend this place if you are looking for some Korean inhospitality. I was gonna rate it with ZERO star but the system requires at least one.

Naturally, a name like this sounds like a vegetarian's paradise. But there's really only one soup on the menu that's vegetarian. Be sure to ask for them to omit anything with fish sauce from the condiments, too.

One of my fav. Korean restaurants. This restaurant has better service than most of the korean restaurants out there. They are open 24 hours; always great food, and great service. The little dishes that come with your meals are great too. They pan-fry the little yellow croaker; it's always tasty and fresh. They let you choose the type of rice you want, too. Try the bean rice. They treat all customers the same. Unlike some Korean restaurants only 'attentive" to korean customers.
