Good to know

Do you take reservations?

Yes, by phone at 832-379-8881. We recommend calling ahead for parties of 6 or more.

Is there parking?

Plenty. We have a free lot with lots of room.

Are you open between lunch and dinner on weekdays?

Monday through Friday we close from 2:30 to 4:30p to reset for dinner. Saturday and Sunday we’re open straight through, 11:30a–9:00p.

Is the restaurant wheelchair accessible?

Yes.

Are you kid-friendly?

Absolutely. We’ve been a family spot for 50 years, so bring the whole crew.

Do you serve alcohol?

Yes, we have a full bar. You’re also welcome to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee.

What is Korean-Chinese food?

It’s what people in Korea think of as Chinese food, the same way General Tso’s or orange chicken is “Chinese food” here in the States. It started with Chinese immigrants in Korea, and dishes like jajangmyeon (짜장면), jjamppong (짬뽕) and tangsuyuk (탕수육) became staples of everyday life there. Our family brought those flavors from Seoul to Houston in 1976, and we’ve been cooking them ever since.

Do you have vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes. We have a full vegetarian menu, and we can make most of our dishes vegetarian or vegan. Just ask.

Can you accommodate food allergies?

We can accommodate gluten-free and nut-free requests to a degree. Let your server know about any allergy when you order. Our kitchen does handle wheat, soy and nuts, so we can’t guarantee a dish is completely free of them.

Do you offer takeout and delivery?

For takeout, order online or call us at 832-379-8881. For delivery, you can find us on DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats. Heads up: Uber Eats charges a big markup on our food because of its high commission, so ordering directly from us gets you our regular menu prices.

Do you cater?

Yes. Catering is $15.99 per person with a 10-guest minimum, and we need at least 24 hours’ notice. You can build your order on our Catering page.

Can I book a private event?

Yes. Our private dining room hosts 40–100 guests. Please book at least one week ahead, and a deposit is required. See Events & Large Parties for details.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. Ask us next time you’re in, or give us a call.
