The breakfast menu is great - good value. The hollandaise sauce is one of the best around. I usually order from the breakfast menu as the serves on the lunch menu are generally way too big for me to eat at lunch time - but if there are 2 of you sharing is the way to go. Have improved their service and food a lot over the last couple of years which is great.

Approximate cost: $20

I've been here a few times and love it. The lunch menu is great - $9 for a meal with rice and sides. Place is often full of students, service is quick and efficient and waitresses clean tables promptly. I ate there today and was the only non-Korean speaking person there but I was treated as a valued customer just the same. The spicy beef bulgogi lunch special was delish! Next time I might try the less spicy version, if you can't take the heat I'd suggest go for the standard rather than the spicy, it had a bit of heat in it today! Good value for a quick tasty lunch. Even the dinner dishes are a great price, around $12 for a main.

Approximate cost: $10

Went with a large group for a birthday party. It was great. Food was amazing and I can't wait to go back. Unfortunately we usually decide last minute to go out and it can be difficult to get a table at the last minute but we will keep trying. Want to try the chocolate pizza we watched them making. Great value for money - they don't have a kids menu but were very happy to provide two plates and split a dish, plenty for 2 hungry kids in one dish. Luckily my kids always like to eat the same thing anyway but the serves are so generous 2 adults and 2 kids could probably share 2 main meals with a side of garlic pizza or garlic bread and still have plenty to eat.
