I’ve only been once but my parents have been several times. The sea food pancake was delicious and so was the pork bbq (I don’t remember the name or have any photos). Looking around at the other customers there seemed to be plenty more dishes worth trying. Kind of a hole in the wall but definitely worth it

Always have delicious food! Its a korean restaurant with a store inside it. Never get tired of it. I LOVE their seafood pancakes. The service there is good as well. They were very kind to us. Always great service. Price is good as well. Reasonable. Theres not a lot of options, but enough. They have a lot of the common dishes and have a few family meals which I love as well. Overall, great place.

The ladies who served us were so nice and friendly, I loved them! The food was good but for me it’s quite a drive since I don’t live in the area, and even though I think it was good, I wouldn’t say it’d be that worth of a drive for me. But I would definitely go if my friends wanted to go or if I was craving it. Also, it’s been a long time since I had good rice cakes and theirs was just right for me. I will be returning sometime in the future! Also, don’t order too much if it’s just you or two people because the food can be filling, good portions!

I am never disappointed no matter what I order. I proudly admit that I am addicted to their food. Cannot wait to go again. I live an hour away but the food is worth the gas used to get there. The market area has great variety in all kinds of things and are so affordable.

Charlottes Korean food scene is almost non-existent. I consistently heard that this place was the best place to come for Korean food in the area, so we finally made the trek to Matthews to check it out.Covid-19: you can order and pay online on their website. Our food was ready pretty quickly when we got there.We got a Seafood Pancake 해물파전, Ddukbokgi 떡볶, Jab Chae 잡채, and BiBim Naengmyun 비빔냉면. The takeout came with bonchon too. These were all things I hadnt tried before and I loved them all.I think the Ddukbokgi was my favorite. I loved the texture. The Jab Chae was a little sweet and I loved the glass noodles. The Seafood Pancake was not at all fishy and very flavorful.The BiBim Naengmyun was good, but it was probably my least favorite. Ive now realized that we ate it wrong though. Our takeout came with a partially frozen broth. It was packed with the bonchon so we thought it was a side. I now realize that I was part of this dish. The styrofoam container wouldnt have been the best to pour broth into either, so this could be a little logistically challenging with takeout.Overall, we loved our entire meal. We had leftovers and it was very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend checking out this hidden gem!

It’s one of the worst. The food was bad and server was rude. Rice was old like it was cooked day before jjajangmyun tasted like one you purchased at the market and cook at home, tangsuyuk meat was not great and sauce tasted like pineapple juice. I will be never going back.

A small Asian goods store that also has a small restaurant inside. The restaurants food is delicious and cooked fresh and there is many options to choose from. It is authentic Korean food. The store sells noodles, marinades,chili sauces,fresh and frozen foods as well as some kitchenware,beauty products and more. My favorite aisle was the candy and snacks aisle.

I really got nothing negative to say. Food was fantastic. Best authentic Korean food in the greater Charlotte area. Better than Super G and the few spots in downtown Charlotte. Customer service is great as well.

What a lovely place. It is a grocery store with a small restaurant as you walk right in. It’s very small and the tables are very close together but it is so cosy. The food was very good and prices really reasonable. I shopped at the grocery store after o had lunch and the staff were so friendly and assisted me in finding the things I need. I will definitely return to this restaurant if I am in the area again.

Authentic Korean food. This is a small restaurant within a grocery store but its totally worth trying.

****Highly Recommend. If you are looking for an authentic, fresh, good Korean food, Come here, you won’t regret. Actually, this restaurant is the best Korean restaurant I have ever been to, period. The food was so good, so authentic., the love that they have in their food and customer, you can feel it the moment you stepped in. We called the restaurant before we go to see if they still have any spots available. The lady on the phone was so nice that she suggested us to order food now through the phone so we could still be able to eat before the kitchen closed. After we arrived, she had all the food that we ordered ready. On a roller cart. Yes, a Roller Cart. She served us fresh food right after we stepped in. The food we ordered “ Bibimbap” “ spicy beef stew” is all that we could ever dream of, so delicious that we want to be back every weekend. After we ate, the lady even helped us packing up the left over food into the Containers. We cannot say thank you enough for her.

If you’re looking for reasonable, authentic Korean food, this is the place to go! The food was absolutely delicious! One of my new favorite places.

I had gone here when I was really young so this place is pretty old, but I still liked it just as much as before, I had gotten the ba bim bob (I think thats how you spell it) and I had loved it. Definitely recommend if you dont mind a store thats kinda old

Authentic Korean restaurant. Will definitely come back.

This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the area! The food is phenomenal and you truly cannot go wrong with anything thats on the menu. Everything is absolutely delicious, Im personally a huge fan of their Dol Sot Bi Bim Bob 돌솥비빔밥, Jab Chae 잡채, and Ddukbokgi 떡볶이.Due to Covid-19, Ive only had the opportunity to grab pickup from the restaurant. Anytime Ive placed an order, whether it be ahead of time or under the As soon as possible option, the food has always been prepared on time. If you ever have trouble location your order, the staff are always quick to help you out. Customer service is lovely!The restaurant itself is situated in the back of a Korean market. I personally really enjoy this set up and often take the time to look around the store when I can. There is a lot of variety in the food and items they stock!Overall, I cant recommend this place enough! Absolutely cannot stress how amazing this restaurant is! Definitely take the time to grab a meal from here, you wont be disappointed!

Great spot in Matthews for a hidden gem of a Korean grocery with a mom and pop run restaurant tucked inside! Shop while you food is being prepared then sit down to piping hot meal!

Nice little Korean market with other Asian foods. Restaurant in the back was closed when I went

Good Korean food. In the back of a little market so most people dont even know it exists. If you like Korean food, and kpop.... I guess? (Its on TV sometimes) Its worth a visit.

The restaurant food is very authentic! Great flavors! The store is awesome too.

Very authentic and delicious. Lovely people with a unique atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Best, authentic, Korean food Ive found thus far. I make sure to stop here every time Im in town. I always forget to get a picture before we start devouring the food. They also have a nicely stocked mini Mart.

Lots of great options and they give you a lot of food. Would come back next time Im in town!

Easily one of the best authentic Korean restaurants Ive been to. Very well priced food and done right. Other places tend to skimp on some of the ingredients or side dishes thinking nobody will notice. Not this place.

This food is so amazing. I love Korean food and am always on the hunt with every city I go to to try all their Korean food. I got the bulgogi plate and it was incredible. A large portion for $12 and came with all the sides like Kimchi and cucumbers. I enjoyed every bite and wished I would have snapped a picture for yall but I ate it too fast. Total hole in the wall but as is typical was the most authentic.

Best Korean Restaurant in the Greater Charlotte area, I have only craved Korean food from here the past 4 years. Highly recommend their Seafood Pancake, Vegetable Doenjang jjigae Soybean Paste Stew, Tteok-bokki and Bibimbap.

I love This place the food is authentic and delicious we come here every time we visit Charlotte

Havent been here in 3 years and it has improved quite a bit. First time I ate here we ate around 7 and the restaurant was pretty dead. This time we got there around 815pm and the restaurant, albeit a small restaurant, only had 1 open table left. Service was great, and food was much improved. Banchan was ok. Not the best Ive had. Pricing is a bit on the high side for what you get but it was pretty good. The stirfry was flavorful and plentiful. The seagood pancake was nice and crisp on outside and pancaky on the inside. Really well cooked. They closed at 9 but there were still plenty of people eating and shopping at the grocery section around 915. The servers and store clerk all looked happy and not annoyed. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best Authentic Korean Food locally! Prices are good also. I spent my Birthday there! If youve never tried Korean food this is the place to go. You cant go wrong with any of the choices. Just remember wants youve had Korean food youll never want Chinese again. Its the Seoul (Soul)Food of Asia.🇰🇷🍥🍜🍲🥗🥘🌶🍢🍤🇰🇷

Tasty Korean restaurant inside of a small grocery store. We received our food quickly and it was delicious. Have been many times, love this place.

This place always been great. Service could be better but still great and food are always delicious.

I have been all over this city searching for authentic Korean. I found it here. Im so happy and full right now. The best!!!!!

Excellent service, food, and prices!

Great food, great people, very quaint and beautiful. I enjoyed the experience definitely going back for more!!!

Amazing service - super friendly and attentive. Food was incredible. I now love Korean food!! The menu shows photos of each item and if you ask the servers for opinions, they will give you a great selection as well.

We had the Korean BBQ with side dishes. It was very good, as was the service.

Authentic korean style food. Their fried rice isnt salty at all and tastes really good. It also comes with a serving of 4 different items in another box.

The amount you get my Koresn food lovers is AMAZING! The bonchon off the chain! You really need to go.....the place isnt much to look at, but the food is incredible, you get a lot for your money, the service is fast. My friend and I got the seafood pancake appetizer, spicy pork, and a vegetable tofu soup, with fried mackerel. You get unlimited bon chon small side dishes, $40 for all of that!!!! See the pics, go eat Korean!

Im in town for work. We googled Korean food in Charlotte and this place was close to our hotel. This place is 100% genuine Korean food. No Neo Millennial combo Asian food. Exactly how my omma, halmeonis, khomos have cooked it! The people who owns/works there are 100% nice and helpful. I love the people and the place! Makes me feel at home!

Absolutely delicious food! Located inside of a small Korean grocery store and features a wide menu with fast and friendly service. Thank you!

Pepero is a half asian food market and half restaurant. They serve korean food specifically. The market isnt that big but they have a lot of variety of frozen food. The kimchi and side dishes are made within the restraurant, which is really good if you let it ferment after purchase. The food in the restaurant is either really good or bland but healthy. The service is korean style so you would have to constantly call for a service. The waitress doesnt really check up on you because they are also your cooks. In my opinion, they need more staff. The reason for 4 stars is because the service could be better.

Food was amazing, kimchi jjigae and dol sot bibimbap were delicious, highly recommend!

Foods are always good 👍 😋

Food and service was great, and I loved the little market inside!

My favorite place for Korean food

Very nice! Best Korean spot I could find in South Charlotte. Good Korean flavors but NOT authentic - buuuuuut your not gonna get authentic Korean food in Charlotte. sorry. Lmk if I’m wrong but the closest authentic Korean food is in Atlanta. But it is also a small grocery store which is great.

The ultimate hidden treasure! Fantastic, authentic Korean food in the middle of an otherwise unassuming grocery store. Great service, great prices, and SO GOOD!Dont be afraid, theyre super friendly!

Great authentic Korean food!

Excellent selection of items. Pleasant and helpful staff.

I am Italian, but if I were Korean, this would be like eating delicious home made food at grandmas house. Excellent meal!

The server was very polite and respectful. The lunch took awhile to arrive since it seemed they cooked everything to order. We tried the dolsot bibimbap and also the meal set (grilled mackerel, tofu seafood soup, fermented beans side dish, spicy cucumber and cabbage/kimchi). We also bought some groceries, like chicken gyoza, cold noodles, and frozen foods.

Great, authentic Korean food! Everything we ordered was delicious! Cant wait to go back!

Absolutely love this place! The bulgogi (Korean bbq) and bi bim bop are amazing! And they have a little grocery store in addition to restaurant where you can get all kinds of Korean food supplies. If you love Korean, you must go here.

The fried chicken is where its at

Delicious food! Reasonable price. Will definitely going back .

My favorite Korean food in the city. Havent found anything better yet! Their bimbimbap is delicious.

Delicious food

The best place for Korean food in Charlotte, NC. Great service, great food and love that it is all Korean. A hole in the wall but still great especially the Korean store that provides foods you cant find anywhere else.

WARNING.Do eat here rude old waitresses here. She expected me to paid 15% tips when we don’t even have 5 people and it’s just me and husband and 2 kids. We packing our food and she clean our table right away and took all the spoons so i couldn’t pack my food. Last time here.

Decent Korean restaurant. They run Korean market with Korean restaurant. My favorite is Soon-Tofu soup and the price is reasonable.

Always weird/bad service and decent-horrible food. Only reason why this restaurant exist is because it’s located in Charlotte where there exists little/no competition in ways of other Korean restaurants. Salty, MSG, over priced...but if you can overlook all these things...still find somewhere else to go.

Small hole in the wall diner with only decent Korean food. Very limited seating.

Great and authentic Korean food at a reasonable price👍😊

Taste is as good as alwsys

A must visit, even if it means going out of your way to get there.The place is small, unattractive, yet, feels homey. This is the sort of place you go to for a relaxed chat over some some really good food.The crowning jewel, in my opinion, was the kimchi jjigae. I have been to many Korean restaurants and have ordered the kimchi jjigae countless times, but this one was, hands down, one of the best that Ive had. Each spoonful of the broth was packed with bold, delicious, harmonious flavors. It was spicy, yet, the spices did not get in the way of all the different tastes. Normally, with soups, after a few spoonfuls, the strong flavors become subdued, but this was not the case here. Until the very end, my taste buds were being reminded just how good the broth was. Definitely give the kimchi jjigae a try. As long as you like kimchi, youll love it.I would have given the place 5 stars were it not for the steamed buns. This was a miss, not only with me, but also with the other people at the table. While the texture of the bun was nice and soft, the filling was a bit lackluster. It didnt do anything special and it didnt work with the bun itself to create a new taste. I found myself having to dip it into the sauce after every bite just to enjoy it, and that is not something that I normally do.The service was good. They were fast and attentive.This restaurant is attached to a small Korean market, so after enjoying some good Korean food, you can shop for some Korean goodies.

I love this appetizer! Which I forgot the name. But this appetizer is to go for!

My favorite place for BOMB korean food. If you want to check out an authentic korean restaurant, this is the closest youll get near Charlotte. Its worth the trip. Its kind of a two in one as its also a supermarket so you can shop after you eat for goodies. They also sell face masks, hair products and some houseware items. I always get some korean ice cream after my meal. Cherry on top. 🤗 this place can get really packed depending on when you go. Theyre also closed Tuesdays so plan accordingly.

Delicious and reasonably priced. This is so far the only Korean restaurant in Charlotte that makes their dishes pretty authentic and tastes like home. My step mother is Korean who have been in my life for 16 years and I have always miss her cooking. Their wooji galbi tang (rib soup) is delicious and is shareable. It’s a half restaurant half grocery mart. Small but cozy. Banchan (side dishes) shouldn’t be charged for extra, especially when you order so many food to share between 6 people. Will always be back!

Excellent food and prompt service. Staff also very conscientious of current times.

Small but just the right size. Wide booths and solid wood tables. The food is 99% just like you would find in Korea. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

Great food, great service, great market.

I placed an order through Uber Eats. Then it was cancelled. When I spoke with someone on the line from the restaurant the person was extremely rude and said it was Uber Eats fault because they “couldn’t get paid” by Uber. The person used profanity as well. I would NEVER order from this place again.

Best Korean in town! We have been dining here for 10+ years. Great traditional dishes! (wish I could have some traditional drink with it (Soju/ Makalie?) Casual family atmosphere, reasonable priced and Fantastic food.

Authentic Korean food. A must visit place if you visit charlotte. I absolutely love the seafood soft tofu stew combo and seafood pancake here. Side dishes are also yum !

They have awesome korean food here. Best original flavor compared to a lot of other korean restaurants Ive been to.

One of our go-to places in Charlotte when were itching for Korean food. Very reasonable pricing and friendly staff/manager.

Love this place!!! The people are always nice and I love the little restaurant and market.

Delicious food, great service!

Excellent food.

I went today with my boyfriend and food was delicious! It felt very authentic and the store was cute, I bought some banana milkis. I’m for sure coming back.

This place is a Korean market with a tiny little restaurant in the back. I was greeted and sat by the happiest lady. She sat with me and helped me understand the menu (pre covid). I had fun laughing with her and chatting. I tried the beef bulgogi and it was amazing! I also loved all the pickled vegetables. Honestly, I would go back just for my waitress but it helps that the food is out of the world.

Just not the same quality as before....

The restaurant followed Covid protocols and was clean. Food was delicious and staff was very nice!

The place is a has everything and the restaurant is great.

Very good food. They are Korean Christians no alcohol in the building. I got the feeling you would not be welcome to bring your own. I would eat there again though I loved it.

Been coming here for 2 years regularly and the food is always great.Bul Go GiKimchi pancakeYakimandoHot potato Ba Bim Bop

Great food!!!!

Its the best korean food in town. But order to go or expect to wait.

Delicious food and the owners are always pleasant. We stop by go pick up little groceries here and there as well.

I LOVE Pepero!After living in S. Korea for 10 years I came back to the US and craved good Korean food.Pepero is absolutely the best!!I feel right at home there!!

One of the best restaurants in CLT

This place is legit AF. Korean restaurant, market and gift shop. Our food was great; I got the dol sot bibimbap (pictured closest to lens) and I cant remember what the other stuff was but it was all delicious. Caution: the bowl it came in gave me a real nice burn after I accidentally grazed with my finger. A+++

Authentic Korean food, not a chain. No frills, just good authentic Korean food.

Nice little restaurant behind a grocery store. Everything was really good, especially the bulgogi. Would give 5 star if they included more variety of bon chon.

This place so nice service..nice sever..I love it..

Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing and the service was excellent.

This place is no doubt one of the most attractive place in the area. Every time I go there I am incredibly satisfied. They hold their very high level service and the topmost level of cooking they give. You no doubt will love this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

Want some fantastic Korean foods? This place is a must. The location isnt the best to find but it’s all worth it. Love the bell service. Everything is worth the price. Highly recommend.

Love this korean market! Always got the stuff I need!

The best snacks and noodle options. Staff make you feel like family

This place is awesome.
