This place reminds me of a joint in Seoul that I used to frequent, esp their bokkeum octopus, which has such a generous amount of octopus compared to other places where there's more veg in the dish.. their side dishes are also good and a hit for my toddlers.
Food was great, owner was very warm and friendly, family diner vibes.
Owner was also super entertaining because of her candid and chaotic nature.
This place is always crowded and managed to get a seat on a weekday late evening. The banchan dishes were plentiful and refillable. The hot stone bimbimbap is highly recommended. Lots of vegetables and delicious meat with a poached egg.
