4 inspections
- Monitoring
3 infractions
- F1.2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
- Observation(s): Various sauces in hot holding units recorded between 48-55 degrees Celsius during the inspection, which is lower than the legislative requirement for hot holding (60 degrees Celsius). The employee on site turned up the temperature of the hot holding unit while rapidly reheating the sauces to 74 degrees Celsius. The sauces were placed back in the hot holding units and were recorded to be >60 degrees Celsius as measured with facility's probe thermometer. Corrected during the inspection.
- F1.2A Potentially hazardous foods must be stored or displayed at a temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) or hotter.
- F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
- Observation(s): 2/3 sanitizer buckets on site recorded 50ppm chlorine, which is lower than the legislative requirement of 100-200ppm. The employee on site prepared new 200ppm chlorine bleach/water solutions for the two sanitizer buckets. Corrected during the inspection.
- F2.3D Sanitizer solution must be available and kept at the correct levels for adequate sanitizing action.
- F2.4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
- Observation(s): A bag of frozen food was observed thawing at room temperature during the inspection. Thawing food at room temperature can cause the outer portions of the food to reach the temperature danger zone (4 to 60 degrees Celsius) while the center remains frozen. This creates conditions that support rapid pathogen growth and increases the risk of foodborne illness. The employee on site placed the frozen food in a cooler to continue to defrost. Corrected during the inspection.
- F2.4B Potentially hazardous food must be thawed using appropriate equipment and/or approved methods.
- F1.2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

Service was great and good was even better!! I absolutely loved my Basasak Chicken with Salad. The Bibimbop was hot and delicious. Absolutely one of the best Korean restaurants I have ever tried.

We decided to try this place because it had very high ratings, but unfortunately, it turned out to be below expectations for the price. It was a bit disappointing. The fried chicken was good, but the other dishes we ordered were stewed-style meals, and most of the vegetables tasted and felt like they were frozen. The potatoes and carrots were so hard that I eventually gave up eating them. The only dish that really stood out was the bibimbap that one of our family members ordered—it was the most enjoyable. Overall, though, the food felt below the price we paid, which was disappointing. I had hoped for a meal more in line with the cost. I sincerely hope they can improve and offer better-quality dishes in the future.

Absolutely amazing! Food and service beyond excellent. Exceeded expectations. Everyone in our party tonight couldn’t say enough great things about the food. This is a must stop to eat at. Will be stopping every time we come to town.

It’s really a hidden gem in Creston and until we tried it we understood why it deserved a 5-star. The food is crafted with thoughtful ingredients and hearts into making it. The seasoning is perfect and the Japche is my fav!! You can not miss it if you travelling through Creston. They are pretty easy to find it’s on the Main Street and provide parking spot on site. In addition their service is very excellent and pay attention to detail as well.

Had an excellent experience here! Highly recommended the fried chicken. We had the chicken with the Basasak sauce. The portions were plentiful and the prices were very reasonable. The service was great and the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere. I would love to come back and try some other menu items.

Must try. One of my favourite restaurants in Creston. Presentation and food is always amazing. I wanted a burger today and at lunch all burgers are 15% off. I had a chicken burger and it was delicious and HUGE! My Mom can’t eat meat so she had a dish and subbed tofu and she enjoyed hers as well. The female server is awesome 👏🏽

Super accommodating!! We didn’t realize they were coming in 30min before close and they still sat us and served us with excellent service, Julia was our server and she did an excellent job. Such and lovely first experience here, we will certainly be back (we will make sure we aren’t coming 30min before close this time!)

Great korean-western food. The place was spacious and had plenty of table, great for big groups. We got the crispy potatoes with grilled chicken and a bacon white cheddar burger. We were so pleasantly surprised by the food quality and presentation. Highly recommend if you’re in the area
