This is a small hole in the wall authentic Korean restaurant. I went there with my financee who loves Korean food. We got the bossam there which was delicious and the coup that they give is also flavorful. It can be kind of hard to gauge the food unless you know Korean but there are pictures and the restaurant people are kinda I will be back to try other dishes

Korean aunties will make you feel at home here. Everyone else orders the soup but I come for just one dish.. bo ssam! Pork belly with plenty of sides and a soup (add salt to your taste). When it's busy that place gets slammed. But that just means everybody knows how good it is. Has never been really loud to me. I will keep coming here often.

Sundae Tang was tasty but not extraordinary. The service and atmosphere could improve. I will come back to try other dishes.

Abbaee was a cozy and authentic spot. The server spoke limited English, but food and service were great. The bossam was amazing, and the portions were pretty decent.

Our party of six (three adults and three toddlers) had a good dinner experience. We ordered roughly $150 worth of food. The taste was good and the portions for the price were great. The glazed pork hock (large, $35) was definitely the best dish. The kimchi and lettuce combined with the hock was divine. My two year old ate at least 10 slices of the pork hock! The flavor was amazing and the texture was perfect. The stir fried squid and pork ($21ish) was also pretty good. The best part about this dish was the marinated sauce. The leek pancake was pretty good as well. Each bite was tasty and crunchy! The budae jjigae $16, buckwheat noodle $15, udon noodle $13, and the $30 buckwheat noodle with lettuce and spicy marination were all just average to okay. We'll definitely come back to try the other dishes!

This is our favorite place for soondaebokkeum. Something about the sauce and how you smother it will perilla leaves will leave you wanting more -- definitely a standard deviation better than all of the other places that serve this dish. I would say the one downside is when you're asking for leftovers to be packed -- at times they'll ignore you and want to take everything away so please speak up in order to be heard here!

Food: if you are looking for some authentic Korean food, check out this place. We got Pork Neck bone soup which comes with a bowl of rice and some side dishes - cabbage kimchi, pickled radish, radish kimchi, and spicy garlic stem / pepper. Service: our server provided great service. She checked on us several times for our drink & side dishes. Ambiance: nice cozy place in a stipe mall. The restaurant has about 10-15 tables available & when we visited on Saturday around 11:30, there were enough tables. We didn't need to wait in line. We will come back~

Fantastic authentic Korean food. The bossam was very moist and juicy. So delicious Soondae was very tender and I enjoyed the unique variety of flavors

I used to hate soondae because where ever I went, the smell and the texture just made me nauseous. It was not until recently when I went back to Korea it sparked new love for it again. Abbaee soondae really captures the true soondae experience. They offer a few different varieties and I also like that they offer it as a combo platter as well. We opted for the jokbal (pigs feet) and abbaee soondae + tteokbokki spicy rice cake. I personally do not eat jokbal so I did not to try it.... but the soondae was so bouncy with the addition of the sweet rice. It also had a very mild flavor which pairs nicely with the salt or even the rice cake sauce! The tteokbokki was also very delicious!! The sauce was a good balance of spicy and sweet. The portions were generous and had a nice mix of rice cake, fish cake and veggies. It even came with an egg.. which does not happen often at restaurants. The service was also excellent! There were 2 women working the front and they were quick, friendly and made sure we were taken care of despite how busy the restaurant got. Another really great spot for lunch so if you're looking for something more casual and quick, I highlyy recommmennndddd!!!

I have tried their soondae before because my friend has brought it over to snack on but I never dined in. The restaurant is a little small so I imagine there would be a wait during peak hours/days. My partner and I ordered: Gamjatang: Initially, this soup needed a little more flavor so I added some salt. I feel like when we got to the bottom of the soup was when the it was the most flavorful. This was the first time I tried this soup and I would probably get it along. The soup had soooo much pork in it and it was so tender. I was sad that we only had one potato but I prefer getting more meat anyways. The soup was a little spicy and made me feel cozy inside. Jokbal: this was my second time trying this dish and I really like how they cut the meat thin! Soondae: I ove soondae but I think the soondae here was a little mushy when served fresh. When it cooled down, it became less mushy... I would definitely come back when I am looking for a cozy meal. I really enjoy the banchan from here! Especially the kimchi, yum!
