This was my first time having Korean food and it was really good. We were leaving the UIUC Engineering career fair and decided to grab a bite prior to getting on the road. The food was fresh and flavorful. I love the textures of the foods and the spicy sauce you can put on your foods. We ordered kimchi soup, seaweed rolls, fried dumplings and Bi Bim Bap. Would definitely return in the future.

I loved this place before until yesterday when my friend and I went there around 8PM. We got our food 10 mins later and started eating. At 8:23, the waiter approached us and said “are you still eating?”After I replied “yes”, he forced us to leave right away, without even a chance to finish our meals because “the restaurant is closing” while the official closing time is 8:30PM. This means, I even didn’t got a chance to eat the rib I was working on and was still underfed even though I paid for the food and service as a customer. To kick us out, he took out boxes and one old lady came out, signaling “you should get out now”. I first tried to pack my food by myself, but they even rudely grabbed my box and started packing for me. Obviously they blamed me for my slow packing. Well they could have allow us more time to eat, right? Or advance notice for more time? Or they should stop receiving orders earlier? Or apologize for closing soon? No, they did none of them but just directly kicked us out and indicated we were not welcomed even we were customers there. This is my very first experience of terrible service in my life ?????????

This is my favorite Korean restaurant in Champaign. The selection is broad enough for you to find something you’d be into! I’ve been here 5 times, and the flavor is consistent. I like trying new things each time. This time around I got the dak galbi and the kimari. The dak galbi was a well balanced in spice, though heavy on the onions. The kimari was not my favorite, and has been better at other spots. My favorites at this restaurant are the kimchi fried rice, soon doo boo and ra bok ee. The dining space is clean, so is the restroom. There’s a mixed theme of NYC and Paris in terms of decor.
