I would recommend this place.nEverything was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed everything.nThe oxtail soup was very flavourful. You could tell there it was densely flavoured and not watered down.nThe short ribs were quite sweet and very tender.nKimchi was fresh and generous portions. As were the reddish kimchi.nVery cool small pressure cooked rice hot pots.nnOver all everything was great. Service was friendly and made really good recommendations. I would travel 30+ mins just to eat here.

I come here for the kimchi and the radish, the portion size for the galbi and the mushroom bulgogi was a bit steep $27 for what it was but todays goal was for the kimchi lol so if that’s you too then yes go try if not then as long as you don’t mind the cost you’ll enjoy it here! I usually order the yukehjang id def get that next time instead of the other dishes

I visited this Korean restaurant with my family for a special dinner. The place was filled with a korean style luxurious vibe, and it's becoming increasingly popular in Albany. I always recommend making a booking beforehand due to its rising popularity.nnOur order included Galbijjim Korean-style Braised Beef Short Ribs and a large serving of Suyuk Jeongol Boiled pork hot pot. Despite being reasonably priced, the quality of the Galbijjim was satisfying. Although intended for one person, my family shared it as an appetiser, finding it quite yummy with a deep-flavoured sauce that complemented the beef well. The Suyuk Jeongol was a fabulous shared hot pot, featuring soft ingredients that paired excellently with wasabi-soy sauce and rice.nnAs a signature touch, the restaurant allows you to pour hot water into the rice pot at the beginning of your meal and encourages you to drink that water at the end, following the Korean traditional way of finishing a satisfying meal - a practice that may be appreciated half-half depending on personal preference.nnHaving visited the restaurant multiple times, I consistently love the food and the overall atmosphere.

The food is so delicious as well as the side dishes. Service is alright but will definitely come here for the food again. The portions are also generous and so flavourful.nThere is also some beautiful ceramics, tea sets and artwork.

Enjoyed a hearty and filling meal. I was honestly expecting more but it was still delicious. Perfect during this cold weather.
