    I was visiting my family from WA State and we were celebrating my brother’s birthday and he said he wanted Korean BBQ. A quick search for LA options and ¡viola! Although about $150 per person, our family of five loved every course! The service was amazing and the food was so good. Highly recommend!

    Second time here, did not disappoint. Bartender Minnie is so skilled making both beautiful and delicious beverages. Brandon is so attentive and kind taking care of every need without even having to be asked. The food is 10/10 for sure. Everything came out piping hot and pretty fast. All our entrees arrived at the same time, impressive for our family of six! We will definitely be back! (PS we traveled all the way from Palm Springs to come back this time and will do it again!)
