    The only thing I have to say is the service here is terrible. The whole restaurant is not as busy as usual. Maybe they don’t wanna serve us. The worst part is I asked one lady for the bill 2 times. At the same time the table beside us they need a bill too. The lady just ignored us and gave the bill to them right away. So I was like what the hell. I asked another lady for the bill at the end. I’ll come back again. Because I like the meat here. Hope they get improved the service it needs.

    Some food was meant to served hot wasn’t hot enough, pork was too lean and dry. The staffs were friendly with cozy atmosphere Overall the food could have been better, maybe a little overpriced

    First time here, and we really enjoyed it! Such interesting and complex flavors. Everything was extraordinary. Mushroom jook was out of this world. Mackerel was perfectly cooked, which is not easy to do. And the gojuchang romanesco sauce on the Brussels sprouts was a surprise and delight. Will be coming back! Service was impeccable, as well.

    Top notch food and service. Everything we had was good. Stand out items are octopus, fried chicken, and bingsu (desser). Cocktails are inventive and interesting.

    My wife and I came here for the first time and the restaurant's Michelin Star was well-deserved. The menu was very focused, and each dish was very distinct from the others. We ordered the Stuffed Pepper, Sujebi, Skirt Steak, and ended with the Banana Milk Tiramisu. All of the dishes were made to perfection, but I was most impressed by the stuffed pepper and their 100 Year Old Cocktail. The serving staff were very professional and attentive, ensuring that our glasses were always full, and that our table was cleared, cleaned, and replenished with clean dishes and cutlery between courses in a timely manner. Looking forward to our next visit!
