  This place reminds me so much of Dan Sung Sa but without the wait!! It also feels a lot darker and grungier, which I don't know if everyone will be into, but hey, I kinda liked it haha. The layout of this place offers a lot more privacy than other Korean bars in the area. You get your own like booth which makes it feel pretty cozy and it's not too loud.
  
  We got the Pork Soft Bone stirfry which was honestly really spicy but flavorful nonetheless. I liked that they give the rice balls with your meal! You gotta take the gloves and make them but that just adds to the fun. It was also a ton of food, so the price is pretty reasonable. The prices of the drinks are standard and comparable.
  
  My only real complaint about this place is the service isn't that great. It's a bit on the slower end, and they have buttons to call the servers, but there were two instances where we had to press it multiple times to get their attention. Aside from the buttons, they never came to check up on us or anything (which is actually fairly typical of Korean culture).
  
  Overll, not a bad option for a drinking spot in Ktown.

  Low key Korean bar with traditional bar food. One man waiting on all the tables, which works for the size of the restaurant. He was very quick with the service and was nice to add on a free drink or two after we passed the minimum amount required.
  
  It is definitely a no frills place, so do not expect new chairs and tables or even AC blasting. It did feel stuffy at one point, but the waiter turned on the AC. The restaurant reminds me of Dan Sung Sa without the long wait time and crowds.
  
  It does not have a full bar. Only soju, beer, and Korean traditional drinks, like makgoli.
  
  We ordered a few skewers, including the spicy chicken skewer (VERY SPICY. be aware). Also, dokbokki (spicy rice cakes), jjamppong with noodles, chicken feet, gizzards, and fried squid. All the food was decent and filling.

  This place got some pretty legit bar food, especially if you're craving some Korean-style bar food.
  
  I came here on a weekday with my boyfriend to try out their food and we were HOOKED. Btw, it was super empty in there but it was probably cause it was a weekday. (I kind of liked it empty and quiet haha..)
  
  We ordered some grilled hag fish marinated in a Korean spicy paste. If you like eel/hag fish, you've got to order this! It comes with a side of sesame leaves you can wrap it in and a bed of onions underneath the delicious fish. I usually wrap it with the sesame leaves and a jalapeno with soybean paste. BAM so good!!
  
  We also ordered the octopus stir fried with side of noodles, one of my favorite dishes. Nakji-boggeum!! If you like noodles, seafood, and spicy food like me- order this dish!
  
  Service was great, and the owner/worker were very friendly.

  I tried OdolPyo (Pork Soft Bone) 3 years ago, after then I am addicted to this menu. It is very spicy but you will want to eat more. There is several restaurant with this menu, but this house has the best taste. If you are a spicy lover you must try this menu. The ambient is very quiet so you can enjoy the conversation with your friends.
