This is from Larisa Saveli’s son. Good place, the woman working here is super kind and gave us our food quickly. The food tasted amazing for me and my sister and the rest of ny family.

Excellent authentic Korean food. I lived in Korea for 2 years and this is the best food I’ve had since. The owner makes everything herself, she’s the sweetest little lady and is so nice to talk to. 10/10 recommend

The Owner was also the Chef, and she did not disappoint! Food came out quickly, included delicious 반찬 (introductory side dishes), and was well prepared. I have not had such good Korean food in a long time and this definitely impressed. I know I will be back soon.

This place had it's ups and downs. Would I go back there? Probably not, to be honest. The first plate you get is the one that is divided (not sure what they call it) but there was only on thing I liked on it... the broccoli. The dumplings were pretty decent and my mild ramen was really good. The chicken was too hot to even taste any flavor and the pancakes were decent as well. What got me was the service there. She didn't really listen to what we were asking and just said... "What type of meat do you want?" In a very sharp, irritated tone when we were asking how they cook the egg for the K-4 Bibim Bop. Anyways, it was a good experience but not for me for the future.

Went to grab lunch with my mom. We had just missed the lunch rush, and the owner was so sweet. She brought us an appetizer dish. It was so good I forgot to take a picture of it. I ordered the Ginger Chicken, it was so good, so healthy, full of veggies and comes withrice. She also brought over a bottle of some kind of hot sauce that she makes in-house. It was just enough of a kick and was full of flavor. The owner cooks all the food from scratch and is made to order. It does take a little time to get your food, but it was worth the wait. They don't use MSG in the food, so its very healthy too. It is a cute small restaurant, and i highly recommend this little place. *The only picture I got was of the Ginger Chicken. *

Kimchi Chigae is my go-to whenever I go to Little Pusan. I like that is fresh, and keeps boiling after it is served. Filling and satisfying. Chong have allowed me to call her "Unnie"/Older Sister. A "friendship" we have established from my frequent visit.
