    What a wonderful new Korean restaurant. The food is almost exactly what you would get in Korea. The staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant is very clean with a great ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious and we will be going back again and again. It is a bit on the pricy side for a family of 4 but it was 100% worth it. We will go back without the kids next time. My family couldn’t wait to eat so the pictures aren’t a representation of the presentation. They were beautifully presented before we started to dig in! Delicious!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks
