We like Owl of Minerva for the good food and fair prices. It's not a luxurious restaurant, but it's cozy. The times we went, the service was attentive. There are several dish options, made with promptness. It's a restaurant worth going to.
I recently visited this restaurant for the first time after hearing rave reviews from a friend, and I must say, it lived up to the hype. The atmosphere truly captures the authentic essence and vibrant energy you hope for in a Korean dining experience. Both the quality and taste of the food ... were exceptional, offering a delightful culinary journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Korean cuisine! Read more
Went with a friend and got the signature pork bone soup, Kimchi pancake and makgowli. A fermented rice alcoholic beverage. It was amazing! The drink is kind of like a rice kambucha with bold fermented flavours. Service was ultra fast and efficient. Food came out hot and flavourful. The ... kimchi pancake was the star of the show for me. It was fluffy, flakey, and slightly spicy. The pork bone is nice as well. Perfect for a cold day. Warmed my body and soul. Been coming here since 2009 and the prices have gone up for a multitude of reasons. I feel like their quality has stepped up as well to justify that increase. Will definitely be coming back.

As a beginner in exploring Korean food, I am so glad I started with this place. It’s open 24 *7 so it’s perfect for night owls like me 🤪 I love their ramen. It’s my comfort food now, so whenever I am feeling low or not my best, I just go ... there and fill my tummy with the huge bowl of goodness. I have tried their Kimchi Pancake, stir-fry chicken, Mandu, Bibimbap, tteokboki. Their kimchi is the best. I always get a box for my home and add it to my regular meals to make it more Korean. Their cucumber kimchi is also great and I end up ordering multiple times while I am there. It’s crowded over the weekends and they don’t let you split bills. Also, they offer a 10% off on cash payments. Enjoy! Read more

It's a really old-fashioned way! You cant split the bill and if your total is under 30$ you have to pay in cash 🤦🏻♀️🤨 mine was 44 and I was relieved that I could tap by my card but noo you just have the only option to insert the card. ... It was so stressful. The food was average but the side dishes were perfect and in a huge amount. Waitresses are loud and screaming at each other. It wasn't a good experience Read more
