  I love Korean food! Especially a hot stone bowl bibimbop. I was ecstatic when I found an authentic Korean restaurant so close to my house. They are not lacking any flavors and they even have traditional floor seating inside the restaurant.
  
  I've never seen this place too packed so that is always a plus and the lovely people who work here are ALWAYS smiling. Save yourself a trip all the way to Buford Highway and grab yourself some authentic Korean food right here in Kennesaw!

  Best Korean food in Marietta area!!! I love to get the goat stew (yum-so-tang), my family always orders the fried fish for the table. For first timers I highly recommend bibimbap and or bulgogi.
  This place has been here for a long time.. I've been coming here since I was a toddler and now bring coworkers.
  Most of the employees are very sweet. There is one lady (not sure if still there) that is known for being a bit rude/blunt .. but I promise you, it's just how she is.. she honestly completes the true Korean experience lol.

  I just love this restaurant. It is family-owned and feels like Korea in many ways. You can eat on the floor or on tables.
  
  Really, it is the family that makes this place special. The food is good too.
  
  It is no surprise they are celebrating 30 years. Definitely worth a try.

  I've had great korean foods in my life. This is probably one of the worst spot ever. Worse than packaged korean food. Speaking of packaged food. If you get cold buckwheat noodle or something similar, it's packaged food. While I was walking to the bathroom I saw boxes of packaged buckwheat noodles lol.
  
  Servers got nasty attitude as well. If you come in 45 mins before closing, they will give you attitude and huff and puff through the entire night.
  
  Oh if you tip around 10-15% because of their attitude and nasty service, they will confront you about it too.  This lady told me "is this it?" (Pointing at the bill.  I almost cussed her out in front of people but just left.
  
  Also I thought a lot of korean restaurants give you side dishes as soon as you place your main meal? I asked for the side dish after we ordered and she said it'll come with your meal.  I can only assume that's because they want to save money on refills
  
  To summarize;
  Food - 2/10
  Service - 0/10
  Cleanliness - 4.5/10
  Time to get your food - 4.5/10

  I showed up about 15 minutes before they closed.  Even though they were not very happy to see me (I got a very grumpy waitress), the food was solid, and I left happy.  
  
  I got the pork bulgogi.  It was super flavorful and cooked just right.  The sauce was tasty.  
  
  The sides were on point.  They gave me 8 different sides, even some I hadn't seen before at Korean restaurants, including a pickled cucumber.  
  
  Down 1 star for the grumpy service, but tasty experience overall.
