Nice cozy locally owned and operated diner. Food is so tasty. Try their Wonton Soup and Dalgona Coffee (Honeycomb Iced Caffe Latte). The Cutlet and Schnitzel are super crispy too. Good portion for prices. Great service and fast kitchen. Staff can speak English and Korean. Nicely decorated interior. Parking lot is a decent size. Cash Only. No WiFi.

Only one person runs the restaurant, she is the cook also the waiter. If you need something you may need to wait a little bit. Overall it's good, food is tasty, coffee is good as well. I like the environment. It's a small restaurant with lots of hanging plants. Remember to bring cash, they don't take cards.

All the food is delicious. Pork cutlet is the biggest and tastiest thing I've ever had! And the wonton soup is the best. Everything is a dish with a lot of care.

Ordered the Korean Yuja tea and its so good. Owned by a cute Korean couple. Cute atmosphere. Have yet to try the food but I’m assuming based on other reviews that its amazing! Cash only is the only problem but not a big deal

The lady working there (I think the owner) was so sweet and took the time to explain things to us from the drink menu. I got a cinnamon ginger drink .. it was delicious tasted like fall. My friend got the honeycomb latte and just loved it too. Overall, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff at great prices!

Let me just start by saying that the interior of this cozy little diner is outstanding. It’s a very refreshing and calming environment. The owner was extremely friendly and was wearing a smile the whole time I was there! I tried schnitzel for the first time and was definitely not disappointed! The bun was soft and the flavour combinations of the toppings worked extremely well. Their bacon and home fries are also some of the best I’ve had! The wonton soup is extremely flavourful and well worth the price! Thanks for being a staple to the St.Catharines community! I will definitely be back for more!

This mine and my husbands favourite breakfast place in the Niagara Region! The food is always cooked perfectly, it’s quiet, and the owners are super friendly. Do not overlook this place and give it a try! The prices are also super reasonable, we pay 25 for our breakfast here and for the same breakfast anywhere else it is usually 35-40.
