This is the only restaurant I’ve been to in Denver where the flavors match Korea! The jokbal is incredible, and the Soondae plate is also fantastic. They always have a great rotating selection of Banchan. The restaurant is run by the kindest staff, and I felt like family when I was there. 사랑해요 Hanyang Wang Jokbal!!

If you’re looking for true, authentic Korean food in Aurora, this place is a hidden gem. The jokbal (braised pig’s feet) is rich, tender, and full of flavor…you can tell it’s made with love and tradition. The portions are generous, the prices are very affordable, and the whole vibe feels like you’ve stepped into a cozy home kitchen in Korea. What really makes this place special is the owner. She’s one of the sweetest, kindest people you’ll ever meet. She greets everyone with warmth and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s rare to find food this authentic paired with hospitality this genuine. Highly recommend if you want real Korean comfort food without breaking the bank. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Aurora!

My family and I came here to try out the new restaurant that took over the area. The portions are definitely worth the price, most of the food is for sharing because it comes as large & XL. We ordered number 1, 2, 3, 4, & 9 from the menu. The great thing is, is that these are not Korean dishes you can find easily in other places because of the time they take to make not many other places offer it. Everything is well seasoned, came out hot and delicious! It was a big hit for my Korean parents who haven't had these dishes in a while. We'll definitely be coming again.
