    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    What a great experience cooking the Korean BBQ at your table yourself. There was plenty of food & it was delicious. We left with our bellies full. The service was great & the staff were polite & very eager to please. It was such a pleasure being there.
