"I'm so glad this restaurant is finally on Doordash. I've requested several times. The food here is high quality and comparable to some of the best Korean soup restaurants in LA Koreatown. And as a Korean who knows good quality kimchi, trust me when I say that their kimchi/raddish kimchi is fantastic. If they provide a little more meat, that would be preferable but that's nit picking. For those of us that live in areas that lack good Korean soup options, like Long Beach, this place is it. Hopefully, they stay on DoorDash because it will be my go to Korean soup place."

"Truly the best in everything---never ordered twice from a single restaurant before. Their #17 Sour Plum Tea (Cold)酸梅湯(冰) is exquisite and so refreshing, and their #65 Pickled Vegetables 酸菜 is to die for. The #5 Pickled Veg Beef Sandwich 牛肉酸菜燒餅 -- the bun kinda looks like a tree bark, and this flat bun comes so crunchy!! It's so crunchy that even when you reheat it in a microwave, the crunch remains. Lastly, their #21 Green Bean Pastry 豆蓉酥餅 and #19 Green Onion Pastry 蟹殼黃 were so, so delicious. Ordering more--ASAP."
"I ordered porridge because I was sick, then the porridge is super spicy, they have a lot of peppers!"
#2 Deep Fried Cruller 油條
Deep fried cruller dough is made in small batches in house every day. The dough requires extensive physical manipulation as our staff folds and kneads out these 15 pound pieces. Each piece is flipped and folded 3 times to stretch out the gluten and left to rest 30 minutes in between is allow the gluten to resettle. The end result is a dough that we cut up and deep fry every morning that expands to create a crispy texture on the outside but still chewy on the inside. One of the most popular ways to enjoy these cruller is to dip them in some hot soy milk so it soaks it all up or use it as an ingredient in your hot-pots to soak up all that broth.
$3.47
#33 Egg Crepe 蛋餅
The “tortilla” part is each individually hand made. The dough is hand-cut, then hand twisted in the palms of the hands to give it that chewy texture, then rolled out and one by one they are put onto a hot iron skillet and cooked.

"Tbh this the first time I ordered it and it came out this bad. I order from here all the time, but the broth just had a really funky taste to it and then the meat wasn't fresh. The meat had like a brown tint. I like this place. They have really good food normally but I had a very unpleasant experience with my last order. Did not like it at all. I didn't even finish it. I ate the egg rolls. It's kinda hard to mess that up but the pho I took three bites of it and I was grossed out. I don't know what was going on that day, but they need to figure it out. That was horrible."
