FROM OTHER DINERS
Good place for Korean infused meals. Portions don’t seem enough for an adult male, but it looks aesthetic and pretty. Yummy but to some degree I think it might be regarded a bit pricey
The food is delicious!!! Restaurant was clean, ordering was so convenient, and the staff speedy with requests. The black sesame cream "pasta" sujebi was delicious. Definitely coming again. I went on a public holiday, and there was a long line with a 45 minute wait, even right aft
Super neat and delicious. All menus are fusion Korean style, and we all 4 people really enjoyed the dishes. Food was not so heavy, and very flavorful. They even have a minari jeon(traditional savory pancake), which was awesome! My personal favorite was the noodle tho. Perfect col
