Excellent Korean food! Love all the included side dishes.
The tteokbokki and beef bulgogi was delicious.

My family of 4 went here and we weren't very satisfied with the service. The food we ordered: - Short ribs: it was too well done, the meat was incredibly stretchy and chewy.
the flavoring is good though, i wouldn't recommend this dish 3/5 - Ramyeon and Dumplings: it was spicy, had meat/veg filling dumplings.
it was mid, i wouldn't recommend either 3/5 - Sinjeon's Set B: Rose tteokbokki + Deep fried set: their Tteokbokki is really delicious but sweet.
it was creamy and had a kick but very sweet.
if you have a sweet tooth, that's for you.
As for the Deep fried set, it was delicious actually.
The *sweet potato fried and the seaweed roll* was my favorite.
I'd personally recommend just getting specific dishes of the deep fried items and not a set because it wasn't all yummy unless you want to try it all.
I'd also recommend substituting for the rose tteokbokki for sweetness and less spicy.
5/5 The Service: - Our server didn't seem like he wanted to work there.
He recommended the chicken/veg dumplings but we never received it.
Instead, they told us they "mixed" the chicken/veg dumplings into our deep fried set.
That was very much an excuse....We never received any.
We also originally received the wrong teokkbokki too, came out as the regular and not the Rose.
Overall, they seem like a mess and don't have it all together.
The only reason why I gave it a 2 is because at least the food came out fast.
2/5

Conclusion: Really wanted to like this place due to the menu variety, but can't because of the disappointing service.
DO NOT COME JUST BEFORE CLOSING, they'll rob you.
(much less food, and up your gratuity probably) Menu/Food: (4) Packs everything you might want to eat, from Tofu stew, Galbi, Bulgogi to Bibimbap.
Topokki to street vendor fried food, they all tastes pretty good.
However, we came just before they called for last order, got two tofu soup, and the portion was definitely lacking compared to other places, only 80% full. Service: (1) 1.
Like many (Korean) restaurants, when you want more side dishes and waves your hand to the waiter, they pretend not to see you. 2.
Came on a Saturday night, door said closes at 10pm, but actually made last call around 8:20pm, and closed the door at 9.
We weren't rushed, but felt cheated.
Please update the restaurant hours. 3.
THEY CHARGED 21% AUTO GRATUITY FOR PARTY OF FIVE.
This was not specified on the menu (see my upload).
I also feel cheated on by this since auto gratuity is usually for 6+, and 21% is a bit more than others.
My bill only stated 1 guest, so my guess is it's not an auto system function.
No other reviews mentioned this.
Made me wonder if this is a restaurant policy or an act of our waiter. 4.
(Again related to early closing) They didn't actively ask if we want our side dished refilled, or state no more dish dish refills after last order.
As a result, we receive ONE extra piece of potato as our ONLY refill to the side dishes.
Feels like an insult, telling us "This is what you get for coming before we close" Atmosphere: (4) Nothing to comment on.
Was "late night", two more tables remaining after we left.
Wasn't too loud. Parking: As always, this plaza sucks for parking
