Pro Tips

  1. 1.Start with mild spice levels for kids even if they claim they like spicy food,Korean heat builds quickly and you can always add more sauce
  2. 2.The kids' menu offers tamer options, but older children often prefer ordering a regular cup with level 0 or 1 spice
  3. 3.Visit during off-peak hours (2-5 PM) to avoid the lunch and dinner rushes when service is fastest
  4. 4.Bring wet wipes,eating from cups can get messy for younger kids, and noodles have a way of finding little chins
