In my experience, it's the Korean restaurants that remind me of a humble family home that shine the brightest, and K Cuisine fits the bill. Clearly a small family owned restaurant, this is the best Korean food I've had in San Diego in my 6 years here, and I am disappointed to have only discovered it now. We ordered the bossam and the spicy beef and vegetable stew, and they were authentic and delicious. It had that comfort food, home cooked air about it, and I felt transported to a Korean home with a couple Korean grandparents in the kitchen whipping all of this up. The bonchon is also not to be left out as it was the best kimchi I've had in San Diego. Although on the pricier side (which is expected for an entree like bossam), the quantity of the two orders was probably enough for 3 people. I implore you to visit this quiet, friendly business and experience all of what I am describing firsthand. We left happy and full, and I assure you that you will too. Overall 8/10
food is good but it takes forever to come out. seems like it's fun by a couple. the woman is the server and the man is cooking in the back by himself. I'd avoid dinner time.
Seafood tofu soup is the best soup I have ever had! So so so good. The service is nothing wrong, but could be better.
Tofu soup perfection! Ordered beef tofu soup and bulgogi & it was devoured with the incredible and fresh side dishes. Awesome flavor at this mom and pop shop. We will be back! Great service also.
Super yummy mom and pop shop! The best tofu soup I've had in San Diego! Definitely a no frills type of joint, but they're serving quality, quantity and flavor is on point Their banchan was fresh and delicious and their prices were affordable
The best tofu seafood soup in SD! Must try! Seafood pancake is also good. The beef ribs were sweet and tasted delicious! The owner is also very nice and friendly. The restaurant is small but feels like home.
Table was actually dirty when we came in. When I whispered this to my friend? The waitress may have heard me she apologized and promptly wiped down the table! I believe I got the seafood tofu soup, but I'm positive the seafood came from a seafood mix bag from the grocery store. The mussels were the size of a penny. Good nonetheless! Love that this place opens late!
It was very satisfying to have a nice Korean hotpot on a chilly night. Their food is pretty delicious, the pork bone hotpot we had is very big, with a lot of meats in it, it is also flavorful. Comparing to other Korean hotpot places like Jomaru, this place is not the best, but not bad at all, it more tastes like a home made. It was a little slow on a Saturday night and they were not even that busy, but their free small dishes came fast and they ate free refilled.
The lady working is so sweet and nice. I really enjoyed my mushroom tofu soup. The spicy chicken wings were good, had a good coating and tasty sauce but they were kinda over cooked which caused the meat to be dry. The bulgogi was pretty good. Would go back to try other items.
