We were craving Korean food and did not want to drive to Koreatown or Orange County. This place is a gem in the heart of Arcadia. The food was delicious and authentic. I had the tofu dish on a cold night and it satiated my hunger. I would come back again! The dining room slowly filled up during the course of our meal and it was a sign to me that this is a local favorite. Come and check this place out!

We stopped by here mid day, and it wasn't crowded. It's a simple Korean restaurant, no decorations with big overhead vents. Average cost of a dish, not including the meats for about $20. It was really tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time I'm in the area I would definitely come back and revisit and try other things

My group was originally going to the restaurant next door but we ended up walking in here instead. It's a Sunday and there was only one couple at a table inside. We said 'Hi' to the host and sat down. Host was friendly and he gave us time to peruse the menu. Wasn't quite sure how to order, and we were about to leave but MIL said to stay, so we did. After getting over the awkwardness, we asked the host some questions about the menu and he was kind enough to explain what accompanied the main dishes. The seating and table areas are nicely spaced out. Exhausts were very clean and well lit. We ordered the Pork Belly 'Trio', LA Garbi, Kimchi Fried Rice, Japchae, and a take out Beef Bibimbap (not pictured) for our prego SIL waiting at home. We liked the variety of banchan and dipping sauce. When the food started coming out we were very excited, happy, and impressed! Meats were grilled perfectly and the kimchi fried rice was delicious. Owner/Chef was out in the dining area and said goodbye to us on our way out. Glad we stayed and took our chance at this new Korean BBQ joint. Will put them on our list to check out next time we are in the area. Thank you!

Finally made it here for lunch! (My family is a Moffett's family, so I am often vetoed.) How delightful! Lovely service and delicious banchan: yes, please! The restaurant is usually a grill. In some restaurants, I find that if you order lunch specials that are less expensive, you're neglected. (Understandable, relative to clients paying for higher-price, more intensive meals.) Not the case here. Lovely service, fun little background music. The tteokbokki was especially delicious: spicy, but also full of flavor and chewy in the best way possible. Dinner next time!

Saw that this place had ox bone soup so decided to try it out. Came in at 5:30pm on a Sunday and it was pretty empty but it filled up pretty fast shortly after around 6 pm. Menu is pretty extensive with many different items like kbbq, some hotpots, and rice/noodle dishes. I ended up trying these. Ox Bone Soup - This was fire. Would recommend, the broth was pretty strong and the noodles and small chunks of meat were delicious. Didn't really need any extra salt and rice was complimentary. Would get again! (5/5) Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap (Beef Bulgolgi) - This was a solid bibimbap. Its a bit on the expensive side at $20 but it was good. They give you a mustard bottle on the side (which is pretty much gochujang) and you mix the rice bowl yourself. It was a good but also nothing super special. (4/5) Overall, I would totally be back to try out the tofu soup next time and get another bowl of Ox Bone Soup. Prices are a bit on the higher side but its also located in Arcadia.

My boyfriend and I were looking for dinner options and we decided to check out Fork Over Pork. I had been eating a lot of chicken and beef this week, so pork was a good way to mix things up for me. The restaurant was fairly empty at the time of our visit, we were able to sit at any empty tables of our choosing. I saw them cleaning up another table while we were here and I really want to commend their cleaning efforts here. The menu was on the pricey side with limited variety and large portions. It would probably be better to come here with a big group. Since it was just the two of us, we just got an Original Pork Ribs ($28.99) and a mild Seafood Tofu Soup ($15.99). As with most Korean restaurants, they also served some side dishes and a salad, which were average in taste but no refills were provided on the ban chans. The pork ribs had decent flavor but it was not soft and tender like I have had at other Korean pork rib restaurants. Definitely not the fall off the bone I want when eating ribs. Surprisingly the tofu soup was better than anticipated. There was a decent amount of clams in there too. Nice to try but I'm not in a rush to come back. It was good but lacking a mastery in its' specialty dish.

The food here is pretty solid. Everything was tasty. The lady server/owner is nice. But my wallet is crying. We got the galbi for table top grill. It's like 38-39 dollars, not including tax. It comes with 3 strip of big pieces of meat. The meat is tender and marinade is sweet and nice. You can cook it yourself, but the lady would flip and cut it for you when she gets to your table. We also got the ox tail bone soup. This one is rich and creamy. If they put it in a black bowl instead of white, it would look nicer. It's a white soup... But it tastes delicious & worth my 15 dollars. Sadly the meat burnt my wallet, otherwise we would've ordered another noodle dish! The banchan/ side dishes are all pretty tasty. The only downside that I can think of is the price. The serving is pretty normal so it's good if you're trying to watch your weight, i guess. With that price, people would choose all you can eat. The lady gives nice service but she is solo. Takes order, serve, grill, clean up, deal with payments.
