I had the mushroom soup and beef stuffed cabbage. Both were very good. On the not-so-good side, the cocktails inn stemmed glasses were tiny. The ambience was limited because we were the only people there from 6:00-7:30. A group was expected later.

We booked a dinner for 4 with friends and was happy to see their menu and choices. We got the brussels tempura and mixed dumpling appetizer. The service was slow even though there is not a lot of seating inside. Once we were finished with our appetizers it turned into a karaoke bar with a very friendly staff singing and interacting with all the tables.

I loved everything I ordered, especially the salo board, it melts in your mouth. Also the atmosphere is really cozy, perfect for family gathering. The background music is also relaxing.
