It's a yakiniku restaurant, but in many ways, it's just unbelievable... I ordered the Kalbi yakiniku lunch, but what came was "meat and vegetable stir-fry". It had Kalbi meat, but with more vegetables. This is definitely not a menu in the 1000 yen range. If it's a yakiniku restaurant's Kalbi yakiniku lunch, wouldn't you think you'd have to grill it yourself? And if what came out was meat and vegetable stir-fry, you'd think, "What's going on...?" Also, they said you can't use cashless services unless it's over 3000 yen. I mean, credit card payments should have no lower limit, right? But they said, "The fees are a waste, so you can't use it unless it's over 3000 yen." It's been a while since I've seen such a violation. This is not criticism, just information. It's information to prevent dine-and-dash incidents when you see the cashless sticker and enter the restaurant. I would rate this experience 5 out of 5.

I went to eat Samgyupsal on a day when it was cheap. I struggled to eat it because I wasn't used to it, but the white soup of the Solontang was very delicious. It is close to my house, so I also go for lunch. For lunch, you can eat most items for under 1000 yen.

Sundubu is delicious with just the right amount of spiciness.

Bibimbap with bulgogi. It's great that it's full of vegetables.

I ordered Stone Bibimbap and Yukgaejang soup, but despite the spiciness, I couldn't taste any flavor at all. As a fan of Korean cuisine, I was very disappointed. I think they should put more thought into the taste. It's great that they have a kids' room.

Since moving here, I hadn't tried Korean food until I went to Insadong. The restaurant looked like a casual yakiniku place, but I decided to give it a try. It was lunchtime and quite busy with customers, but surprisingly there were no customers before me. I felt a bit uneasy ordering, but I ended up getting the Bulgogi set meal, the Jjigae set meal, and the Bibimbap set meal (one of them was the daily special, if I remember correctly). The Jjigae had a nice balance of spiciness and richness, it was delicious. The Bibimbap had a consistent taste. The Bulgogi needed a bit more quantity. One disappointing aspect was that the soup served with the set meals was miso soup instead of the usual Korean style soup.

■Visit Date: I visited during lunchtime on a weekday around 1:30 PM. ■Access: The restaurant is located about 500 meters south from Higashi-Murayama Station West Exit on Fuchu Kaido. It's about a 7-minute walk from the station. The first floor of the building is a parking lot with space for about 9 cars, making it convenient for those arriving by car. ■Exterior, Interior, Atmosphere: The restaurant is a well-maintained establishment with the first floor being a parking lot and the second floor housing the dining area. I initially thought it was a chain restaurant, but it seems to be independently owned. The interior has around 5 tables and 6 sunken kotatsu tables, as well as a raised seating area suitable for banquets. The background music playing Korean songs adds to the ambiance of a Korean restaurant. ■Customer Base: During my visit on a weekday at 1:30 PM, there were no other customers besides the owner and what seemed to be a relative, enjoying their meal. ■Food & Drinks: They offer a daily lunch special (680 yen) which varies depending on the day. On this day, it was Bibimbap day, so I opted for the stone pot version (+100 yen). I ordered the "Stone Pot Bibimbap" for 780 yen, which was served after about 7 minutes. The dish came with miso soup, kimchi, and 4 types of namul. Mixing the Bibimbap with the gochujang sauce provided a rich flavor with a hint of spiciness. The abundance of vegetables in the dish is a highlight, and the slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the stone pot adds to the enjoyment. The variety of namul side dishes was a nice addition. The miso soup was average, but it's understandable for a Korean restaurant. I also enjoyed the complimentary iced coffee as part of the lunch set. ■Service: The service was polite and attentive. ■Cost Performance: It was 780 yen, which I found to be affordable and a good deal. ■Overall Impression: The restaurant's location along Fuchu Kaido, its spacious establishment, and diverse menu suggest it's a popular spot, especially with the nearby city hall and police station. I was impressed by the quality and variety of dishes offered during lunch, and I would definitely consider revisiting for dinner to explore more of their menu. Thank you for the meal.

I had always been curious about this restaurant because of its appearance and sign in Korean, but I was hesitant to go because I wasn't sure if they spoke Japanese. However, after reading reviews from other customers saying that language was not a problem, I decided to give it a try. When I arrived a little after 5 o'clock, I saw a child from the family playing at a table. It seemed like a family-run establishment. The interior was clean and had the typical feel of a Korean restaurant, with Korean characters everywhere. There was a bell-like device with Korean writing on it, so I hesitated to press it, but someone came over to assist me. I ordered white kimchi, cheese tteokbokki, seafood pancake, and cold noodles. Here are my thoughts on each dish: - White Kimchi: Extremely delicious. It was not just spicy, but the juice from the white kimchi was also very tasty. I've had kimchi in many places before, but this was the first time I found kimchi this delicious as a pickled dish. I asked about it when paying, and they said it was kimchi made using the Korean pickling method. Highly recommended. - Cheese Tteokbokki: The taste was quite straightforward, with a good balance of spicy and sweet flavors. Unlike other places where it may include fish cakes, this one did not. I wished it had more variety to enhance the taste. The portion size was decent for 2-3 people. - Seafood Pancake: This dish was more voluminous than I expected. It was filled with various ingredients and had a thick texture. The batter was not uniformly crispy; some parts were chewy, while others were crispy. I enjoyed the mix of textures and the flavorful pancake sauce. - Cold Noodles: Unlike the Morioka-style cold noodles, these were made with dark buckwheat noodles. When it was served, I was honestly taken aback by the presentation. The boiled egg was cut in half with the yolk facing away, which was a unique presentation. Underneath were cucumber and radish pickles stacked like a campfire. The soup was refreshing, but lacked depth in flavor. It was tangy and refreshing, but I prefer the complex and indescribable taste of traditional cold noodles. I wished it had more elements like apple or kimchi to enhance the flavor. Overall, the dishes were quite direct in terms of flavors, which I assume is authentic Korean cuisine. While I don't see this as a negative, I believe adding more depth to the flavors could make it more appealing to Japanese customers. The restaurant's name includes "hometown," so perhaps they aim to maintain the authentic Korean taste rather than catering to Japanese preferences. The prices felt slightly high, but if they were a bit more affordable, I would visit more often. I still want to go back if I have the chance. They only accept VISA credit cards.

This is a restaurant I've been curious about for a while. When we sat down, they served us delicious corn tea. I ordered the "Stone Pot Bibimbap" and my husband ordered the "Bulgogi Bibimbap." We also ordered a half ginseng chicken soup to share. After a short wait, the dishes were brought to us. The side dishes were all tasty, and the bibimbap was flavorful and filling. The portion of the ginseng chicken soup was small, but it was just right for us since we were also eating the bibimbap. The lunch comes with coffee and soup, but it was miso soup. I think the soup was better, but the taste and service were good and we enjoyed it. We will definitely come back to eat here again!

I go for both lunch and dinner. For lunch, they offer grilled meat lunch or rice dishes like bibimbap for around 1000 yen, and they also come with several small side dishes. The taste is really good! Instead of accidentally going to a mediocre restaurant in Shin-Okubo, I think this place really has delicious food. For dinner, they have a wide variety of options like grilled meat, samgyeopsal, ginseng chicken soup, and more. Both samgyeopsal and ginseng chicken soup are delicious. I've eaten a lot in Korea, but the taste of this place is really something. The owner is friendly, and it's easy to go alone.

Located along the street and easy to enter even without the assumption of drinking alcohol. There were no children present, perhaps due to the spicy image of Korean cuisine. This was a relief for me as I am not good with children. We ordered Samgyupsal, Seafood Pancake, and Yukgaejang Ramen. The portions were just a bit too much for two people. The Samgyupsal came with lettuce, kimchi, and green onion salad. However, the green onion salad was forgotten and only brought out after we reminded them. The meat was crispy due to the fat being drained. The portion was just right. The Seafood Pancake had a lot of onions in it and was filled with ingredients. Personally, I prefer it to be a bit less filled with ingredients and crispy, with a hint of egg smell, but it was a standard taste. Next time, I might try it without seafood. The Yukgaejang Ramen could be chosen with either udon or ramen. I wanted to try the ramen, but it tasted more like spicy ramen than Yukgaejang, which was disappointing for me. When I asked the staff if the soup was the same as Yukgaejang soup with noodles added, they hesitated for a moment and then confirmed it was the same. I don't believe it, though. I think they probably diluted the Yukgaejang soup with ramen soup a bit. The taste was more like a spicy ramen deluxe version. It was delicious as ramen, but not as Yukgaejang. I will try ordering just the soup next time and reevaluate. In terms of cost performance, it was average for a Korean restaurant. But don't you think Korean cuisine in Japan is a bit expensive? They serve corn tea instead of water, so you might not need to order Oolong tea. Also, we didn't receive any appetizers, maybe it depends on the menu you order? The service was not bad, but a bit lacking. We had to wait a bit for tea refills, serving, and payment. It's not bad, but it could be better. I will try their lunch menu next time.

Smoking: Allowed Beer: Available This Korean restaurant is located across from Higashimurayama Police Station along Fuchu Kaido. The atmosphere inside is cozy and welcoming, making it easy to enter. There are both tatami and table seats, making it suitable for families as well. The menu offers a variety of popular Korean dishes, including Samgyupsal. The staff, mostly Korean, managed the service without any issues. While the selection of alcohol is not extensive, they do have Makgeolli.
