The pervious time I went there, they had whole wheat noodles. I was excited to have them again, until I discovered that they took it off the menu. (Also, they only have white rice). By then, it was too late. The food was OK, but I prefer having healthier options like ehole wheat or brown rice. The place was popular however, with an obvious college crowd.

Compared to Korean offerings in cities, it's sub part. Per Princeton standards it's ok. I like that they offer some good veg-only options, but I've never had a great meal here, just ok. Nearby Roots is a better choice.

Nice Amercanized(?) Korean food! I wouldn't say it was authentic korean or asian food, but the dish itself was very tasty. The staff were nice and professional, the atmosphere was warm. They also had tables for large groups (like 10 people), so it might be a good meal place for group hangouts. Parking lot is next to the building as well!

Decent and authentic food at a great price, despite the fact that they serve food from all major Asian cuisine. So don't be misled by that.

I don’t go here often, but the food is fresh and filling. The only con is that the service is a bit pushy and I always feel a little obligated to eat my meal quickly and go (this is early afternoon when the restaurant is not filled yet). Take out it recommended

Great takeout experience during quarantine. Easy ordering over the phone and picking up contactless. It was packaged well and tasted fresh. Nice to have sushi while at home. You can find their menu on yelp.
