    Highly recommend Palilgu for a casual yet lively dinner! The pork belly and teobokki was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try out the other dishes.

    The pace of the dishes being brought out was great. The kitchen and server had everything timed perfectly so that you are able to eat your way through the menu without a crowded (smaller) table. It was our first time here and we are looking forward to revisiting!

    The flavor profile of the food was good, but very oily. The service was unfortunate as it was a newer male server who seemed very nervous. Forgot to tell specials. Ended up having Aria come over and tell us the special, she had amazing energy and we ordered one of those. There’s really no ambience in the space. It’s kind of cafeteria like. Was really hoping for more. But the pricing of the food and drinks was very reasonable for the city.

    We got the LA Galbi, bibimbap with the pork and seafood scallion pancakes and all were pretty good! Galbi was a little burnt and the seafood scallion pancakes were a bit over done on edges but not fully put together towards the center of the circle. The bibimbap was a great combination of items and was served in a hot stone bowl which we enjoyed. Overall was good and really enjoyed the ambience service. Would definitely go again to try some of their other items.

    nowhere close to being authentic korean cuisine..extremely overpriced for ridiculously small portions. also not sure why their storefront sign is a ramen restaurant when they're supposedly korean cuisine? no wonder why they have to do paid promo to get customers /: 1 star bc 0 isn't an option and the only okay thing was the atmosphere.

    They ran out of all steak options, so we couldn’t even enjoy a lot of the menu we were looking forward to. One of the waitresses almost gave our sliders to the wrong table and we had to correct her to bring us our food. She then did the same thing with our rice dish and brought it to the wrong table and caused a delay in us getting food. Our waiter acknowledged she made a mistake, which was nice but we then had a huge gap in getting our food. The chicken was subpar and included pieces that didn’t even have meat on it, and it was just fried bone. Would not recommend.

    It was fun. I’m new to Korean food and the server helped with good advice. Prices were quite reasonable for this neighborhood.
