Went for a lunch on a weekday. Walked in at a few minutes before noon and the place was completely empty. In fact, the whole time we were there only three other customers came in, and two of them were together.

They do have a decent lunch special menu. I ordered soondubu (tofu seafood hotpot) which was not bad. It was not spicy at all though, which was disappointing. Others ordered dolsot bibimbap and pork bone soup with potato noodle. Side dishes were kimchi, which had a nice tang to it, a rather tasteless dish of kelp, and some marinated bean sprouts. None of the sweet potatoes that I like. The food is ok, not bad but not great. Lunch specials are a decent value though at around $7-8.

Being so empty, service was not bad. Tea was promptly brought when we were first seated, but we never got refills. Ringing the bell for the bill was quick. Overall not a bad experience, but there are tastier Korean places to eat close by. One person commented that the Korean variety/singing show they were showing on the tv got really annoying.

Since the recent change in ownership/management, I've been to this restaurant a few times. Sad to say, the quality has been going downhill. On this visit for lunch, I went with my mother, who was feeling a little under the weather. We were seated quickly and tea was brought promptly. I ordered the kimchi chigae (a kimchi stew with kimchi, pork, tofu, and SPAM). My mother ordered japchae with rice (stir-fried glass noodles with veggies and beef). These items were part of the lunch menu, so the prices were very good; $6.95 for my kimchi chigae, and $7.95 for my mom's japchae. As per the norm at almost all Korean restaurants, there was only one server. However, it wasn't very busy, so the waiter wasn't being run off his feet. He was very efficient and polite. The tables had those little cordless doorbell thingies that you press when you need to call your server. He came immediately whenever someone rang the doorbell. Our table didn't have a doorbell but this was not an issue, as he was always nearby, but never hovering. My kimchi chigae was delicious. It came with a bowl of rice. It was bubbling hot and spicy, with a touch of sourness from the kimchi. I was worried about the SPAM, but it was not an issue. There was one slice of it, and it basically absorbed the flavours of the rest of the stew, so I liked it! My mom's meal, however, was a different story. She didn't like her japchae at all. She said that the noodles, which are supposed to be kind of soft and melt-in-your-mouth, weren't. I had a taste, and I found the noodles to be al dente. Korean japchae should NEVER be al dente. The side dishes, which you always get when you have Korean food, were quite boring. There was the ubiquitous kimchi, a seaweed salad (which tasted too fishy for my taste), and some bland sauteed bean sprouts. But my kimchi chigae was so tasty that I didn't even have any of the sides, except to taste them. About the ambiance, it was kind of "meh". There was a TV on the wall showing Korean pop stars doing their thing, and some prints of foliage scattered about the restaurant. The washroom was clean. The tables were clean, and were bussed as soon as diners left. So it was a good experience. Not the best Korean dining experience I've ever had, but far from the worst.
