“ Good food. Clean space. Authentic--comparable to the USA. Portions were smaller than expected. Was glad to find some good asian food in Guatemala! ”
“ Very good experience. Highly recommend. The gamjatang is a new item, but I did not enjoy it as much as I normally do. It is not as flavourful as what I'm used to, and it was missing perilla seeds (들깨가루). Galbi was great though. ”
