Generous, authentic Korean share platters and comforting hot stews
Korean Fried Chicken
The fried chicken is a standout, with generous portions that are perfectly crispy and flavorful.
Monike San Seafood Pancake
It was crispy on the outside, packed with seafood, and absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best I’ve had.
Creative Assets Pork Hock
The Pork Hock was incredibly generous in portion size and surprisingly not greasy at all. It was so well-seasoned that it tasted amazing even without the dipping sauce, and the accompanying vegetables were a great touch to cut through any richness.
V L Pork Soft Tofu Stew
The broth was flavorful, and the spice level was just right for me (I can't handle much spice, so I appreciated that it wasn’t overpowering). What really impressed me was how generous they were with the pork — I got meat in every scoop, which is rare for a dish priced at $24 with rice included.

Japchae
I especially fell in love with the japchae side dish it was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and cooked to perfection
Charchit Thapa Chicken Feet
The star of the menu, however, is the chicken feet. Although they could benefit from a bit more cooking time to improve tenderness, the sauce is absolutely superb, elevating the dish to a new level of deliciousness.
Monike San Bulgogi Bibimbap
The bulgogi bibimbap is surprisingly large, packed with aromatic and delicious ingredients that make it a satisfying choice.
Monike San Chicken Noodle Soup
The broth was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, which the little ones absolutely loved.
