Apr 18, 2026"When I saw seafood pancakes on the menu, I headed straight over from my doctors appointment. Upon arrival, not only did they not have Seafood pancakes on the menu, but it seemed like most of their menu had been neutered. Nevertheless, I pressed on and ordered the Spicy Pork/K chicken bowl. Delicious! I had the few bites that I could and took the rest home. Microwaved it when I got home, but it just... Something was off. Made me sick later in the night. I think this is a great place for eating in/ at the mall while studying, but if you have a long drive like I did, probably pass on it."

Apr 16, 2026"When my parents moved to Iowa, I thought it was over for korean food. Before moving, I lived fairly close to a korea town in NJ, and all I knew about Iowa was it had corn. Boy, am I glad I found this place. Everything we ordered today was just perfect. We had the summer ice noodles to beat the heat (one of my favorite foods ever), and this is THE place to get it in Iowa. The sides we got were great too! The k-chicken was crispy and juicy. It was fresh out too, so I had to wait a little because it was so hot. The kimbap seems to be rolled fresh when ordered, too. I could taste the difference in temperature and flavor of the individual ingredients. If you can get a roll and eat it right away, that's the way to go. I'll be with my parents over the summer and I think I'll be coming here as many times as I can."
