Attached to a convenience store so look very closely and sits at the corner. The is Very delicious. Very quick service. Only one bathroom but is surprisingly very clean nice water pressure. The Arnold palmer/VIP is very light not really sweet. I ordered the kimichi ramen mildly spicy and my friend ordered the seafood ramen. We will be here again. The triangle dish was the appetizer called the Seu-Jon is an egg pancake with fish in it the dish was really good.
This is a casual, busy joint for Korean food at Overton square. Overton square already has a tons of hip, and cool diners, and bars. This is another cool and casual spot. We started with some fried mandu/ Korean dumpling. The fried dumplings were absolutely gem. We had the beef one. The dipping sauce was very tasty ( I guess that was soy sauce, mixed with some seasoning/ spices). In the main entree, we had a ramen stir fry with Korean bulgogi, topped with a fried egg, and another chicken ramen soup. Both the dishes were of a good portion size and the food was hot and fresh. They served a sauce/ hit spice mix ( forgot the name) with my chicken ramen soup- that was terrific. I loved the place overall, and I’m already planning to go back. If you plan to stop by, don’t go with a rush. Their service is a bit slow, and the ambience is totally laid back.
This place is really good. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the location is convenient. The portion sizes were very generous! The fried mondu was a tad dry, but the dipping sauce was fantastic!
Tried a new one! This is my first time here so I went with the recommended CURRY RAMEN with the egg boiled instead of mixed in. I also got to try the FRIEND MANDUS with the HOUSE SOY SAUCE. The soy sauce was such a winner that I asked for more just to put in my ramen and I took some home! The ramen was packed out and pretty good but I did have to season it up a little to my liking (hence the soy sauce). The staff was attentive and the ambiance gave a “neighborhood” feel that real Memphians could appreciate. I’ll be back!
Went here to try Korean cuisine. All of our dishes were served hot, looked appealing, and great portions for the price. My girls had a ball and got to experience something new.
