   Grill would not work until manager came to help and then our food cooked too fast because the flame was turned up too high.

   Had an absolutely wonderful late lunch! Went for a birthday lunch and Dawn, our waitress, was wonderful! The food alone was amazing and our waitress topped off the day! 10/10 recommend!

   We were hesitant that the food would be overly spicy, however it was not. This might have been due to our Menu selection. Our server was knowledgeable and guided us through the extensive menu and food preparation. It was not very noisy, which was a pleasant surprise. Menu prices were very reasonable.

   Très belle expérience à quatre ! Beau resto, bon service, bonne nourriture! On nous offre en bouchées quatre différents petits plats de kimchi certains plus épicés que d’autres Ensuite nous avons bien apprécié le Bulgogi au boeuf très goûteux et le Japchae aux crevettes., plat de nouilles aux patates surmontées de belles crevettes et de sauce. Ça donne envie d’y retourner ! Bon vin français , Bordeaux 2022

   Food was very bad!!! We have eaten in many Korean Steakhouses and this did not taste Korean. They should google Korean recipes.

   Great food. Tables are small. Staff was very nice, not dressed as wait staff. Just in regular clothes, and bartender seated us and waited on us. Kinda weird.

   Food excellent prices fair service was ok. Not blaming on restaurant bc it’s hard to control waitstaff if they’re having a bad day or something.

    Loved it! The sushi was fresh and delicious! The service(Dave) was attentive. They were able to make a vegan adjustment to the miso ramen and my drink was yum! Highly recommend. I would like to return!
