Not the best Korean I've ever had at all. It was passable. The server was very nice, but the atmosphere not so much.

Ordered take out order, and this cost 15.99 with such a pity amount of food.
If it’s that so why use such a GIANT container?

My girlfriend and I ordered the pork bone soup casserole and it was delicious! Generous amount of pork bones in the soup along with vegetables and glass noodles. Staff was super friendly and great energy. Will definitely be coming back!

Came here for the first time during lunch. The food was tasty but the portion was very small. I'm not sure if it's because it was lunch but the bibimbap came in a bowl and not a hot stone dish which kind of defeated the whole purpose, as one of the reasons I like bibimbap is the rice continues to cook and crisp and I can cook the egg instead of eating a runny one. I saw reviews that the banchan was good but we didn't really get any. Except a little bit of kimchi and the shaved radish. The spicy rice cake was very tasty. I'll come back and give it a chance outside of lunch hours. The lady that works there is really friendly and helpful.

I’m sad to say that after 20 years of satisfaction, tonight’s food was NOT good. We ordered our usual bibimbop for take out.

Portion significantly smaller, overcooked rice, almost no meat, very bland vegetables, and no kimchi toppings included like they used to. It was blah! …definitely NOT Korean.

Ownership changed 3 years ago, and while the woman serving was super friendly, I’m left wondering what’s going on? Things change.

We’ve enjoyed for a long time, so will try again but there are other great options for Korean food in the region.

Really lovely place to enjoy Korean food! Very delicious and it’s the best Korean restaurant I’ve been to. We had three people and ordered 3 different dishes. All of them were yummy. We didn’t finish them all and asked for a box to take home. The service was also very warm and friendly. Highly recommended.

I had gamjatang and it was delicious! There was a lot of meat and everything was good overall! The soybean paste stew was delicious, and the kimchi pork and bulgogi were all delicious! Haha.
+Could you please tell me where the candy near the checkout area is sold? It was so delicious that I wanted to buy it separately.

100% would recommend. 5 star food and service.
Went there for dinner a couple weeks ago with my family and we were all impressed by the quality of the food and the workers charisma.

We were served by a lady who I believe is one of the/the owner (s) and 2 young girls, all of them were friendly and very helpful.
The lady and young asian girl were very helpful with the menu, the blonde girl was very attentive and cordial.

We left with a big smile on our faces, we will surely go again next time when in the area.

Owner/ employee was very kind and charismatic, joyful and fun, food was not the best Korean food I’ve ever had but still very good! Just a little far from we’re I live

Excellent spot in St. Catharines for Korean! I recommend the hot stone bibimbap. Very friendly service, good prices, central location. Vegetarian options as well.

I lived in Korea some time ago and since returning home always look for good Korean restaurants in Canada. After trying Korean restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area and elsewhere, I would say this is my favourite Korean restaurant in Ontario. The portions are a very generous size, the food is consistent and delicious every time, and the menu has a ton of items to choose from, including some of the items which are sometimes missing from other Korean-Canadian restaurants, like spicy squid. Their kimchi is particularly awesome and for $5 you can get a huge tub of it. I've seen some reviews say the price is high, but for the portion sizes (there are always leftovers unless you really pig out) the prices are quite reasonable. To top it off, the staff are always friendly and even after roughly twenty visits or so, they've never missed or messed up a single order. A+ place and Niagara is lucky to have it. Gam sa hab ni da, Duru staff and ownership!

Service was fantastic and the staff was very friendly. Serving sizes were good and it was quite affordable! Do take note that certain dishes can be a bit spicy so do ask before ordering!

The jjamppong was still delicious! I wondered if it would be okay because it was udon noodles, but the firm udon noodles tasted better with the clean, crisp, and cool jjamppong soup. If you eat it together with radish, the spicy and cool flavors are fantastic.
I came with a clean one-shot of the soup:) The staff were kind and nice. There is still no taste of jjambbong like this in Toronto:) If you are planning a trip to Nayagara, you won't regret if you stop by.

We have been here many, many times, but I always forget to take pics because the food is so delicious, that we just can't wait to dig in! But I finally remembered this 8th? 10th? 11th? Time we went! This restaurant is our favourite - THE best and most authentic Korean restaurant we have found to date in St. Catharines! Super highly recommend - we have tried so many of their other dishes on the menu (spicy and not) and have LOVED them all! Their bulgogi stew is my favourite comfort food! Their service is fabulous, the banchan super tasty, and this is THE BEST cold noodle (only in summer) I've had outside of Toronto!

Poor service! Treat customers differently! Every good comment here can be exchanged for a pop

Outstanding Korean Food and the service was amazing! I recommend stopping in and enjoying traditional Korean food. You will not be disappointed!

We always get the pork bone soup for 2. $30 and you get lots of leftovers. Amazing every time

The food is very delicious! I tried jjajangmyeon, naengmyeon, takoyaki, and tangsuyuk, and enjoyed them all. The restaurant has a clean atmosphere, and the owner is very friendly. I would love to visit again when I come to Niagara Falls next time.
