The only reason I'm giving this two stars is because the food was delicious however I want to talk about the waiter who is very rude and unprofessional on July 15th. Now, he was very polite on the 14th, previous day before the incident. Very nice and what not, answered my questions. Cool, right? My partner gave me money to buy food since i get paid on Fridays. Thursday was good and I came back the next day to there because the food was healthy and my partner encouraged it and I got paid. The same waiter seated me but instead of asking me what I wanted to drink he harassed and guilted me and asked me why I didn't give him a tip which generally I do give tips but like I said my partner gave me money for food and I paid them back. So imagine this young waiter talking loudly and guilting a young man in a leg case about not giving him a tip because apparently he only gets $2 an hour which I spoke to the owner and according to the owner the waiters get paid 30 to 40 dollars an hour so either one of them is lying and they need to talk to each other or shut down the business because there's too much miscommunication. It is not right that a customer feels unsafe because of a waiter has nothing better to do than to look at someone's receipt and guilt them about them not giving them a tip that one day. It is very unprofessional on his part and a customer should not be harassed because of it as I am a very generally Fair person. It is like me saying 'hey I got a leg brace why don't you give a discount', which is very guilting. That is what the waiter did, and he even insulted me by saying I bought a lot which the place is expensive, but alright. Lunch box, soup, and fried cheese cake. Sorry for treating myself, a customer, who paid around $25 which apparently to the waiter makes me rich or something? Dude I paid for my meal. According to some reviews and what other locals told me, the waiters guilt anyone if they don't get a tip which is ridiculous. Everyone is struggling, the world does not revolve around you. Please, customers, be cautious. I have not returned since I was harassed out of the restaurant. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. I really hope the owner will talk to me again or at least to the waiter. I was really hoping on coming back, but that is not happening until the issue is resolved.

Is was amazing! Great service, they know a lot about their menu. They offer many Gluten-free options. The place was full, and yet the food came fairly quickly.

Everything was a solid good, except the few things that were excellent. The Kim Bab was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent after the crowd thinned a bit. (There were only a couple of open tables when we arrived, only a few occupied by the time we finished our meal.) This is not the place to take picky eaters- that is probably true of most Korean restaurants. Still, everything I saw looked well prepared and beautifully presented. If you like spicy, I'd recommend that you give Stone Bowl a try. If you don't care for heat, but like sushi, the Kim Bab is worth the visit

Hendersonville Road strikes again. Very cute little corner restaurant in a small strip mall. Parking is easy. The restaurant was very busy when we got there. We were seated in 10 minutes and got our food in very good time. We both got Stone Bowls. They're so, so good. The veggies are all very fresh, the pork belly is delicious, and all the fixins they give you before hand are great. The beer selection is pretty decent too. I guess I don't have any criticisms. I'm not super familiar with Korean food. But dang, this was tasty. We'll be back very soon.

I'm curious, is the beef they use Hanwoo or American beef?

I don't know but I've been eating there for 10 years and boy is it good! It's shaved so thin that it's extremely tender especially after the marinade.
