The entrance was so well hidden, I circle the entire building before finding it. Turns out, I missed the entrance because I thought it was the staff entrance to the kitchen. I'm pretty sure this is just a side business for the family that owns the Korean Sauna/massage center up front. But don't let the dingy door and indoor tables next to the washing machine fool you. The food here is excellent! It really reminds me of random hole in the wall restaurants you can find across Asia, and I'm glad they spent all of their attention to the food, not the decor. Plus, you can always get the bento box to go, although it is best served hot, especially if you ordered something with crispy skin. There is a dinning area outside, but it's only usable when it's warm and bright outside.
It's located on the corner right next to Saratoga Ave. Might not be easy to find since there is no sign. The bento box are delicious. We were there at noon, the eel and mackerel were sold out already. Both bulgogi and salmon teriyaki are good with both quantity and quality. The small side dishes are yummy, too. The place is not big, about 3 small tables inside, and few picnic tables outside. Sitting inside, you can basically watch the chef cooks and does everything by himself! Pretty cool!
Hidden gem (aka hole in the wall) in the health center with a small selection of bento boxes and rolls. I had the spicy pork. Everything in the bento box was fresh and delicious. Everything made fresh so be prepared to wait. Hard to find, look for the patio off the parking lot.
This place is to die for if you live at most an hour drive oh my it's worth the drive. The beef pork and eel are the dishes I've tried and all are absolutely amazing.
Small hole in the wall, with excellent food at reasonable prices. Come check it out! I heard that some of the dishes sell out quickly so may want to phone ahead if you want something specific off their menu.
