    Top to bottom 5 star experience. Service was causal, warm and attentive. We ordered the hansang (basically chef's choice) and felt it was an incredible value at $135 pp. There were 4 different cuts of meat included (iberico pork, aged striploin, marinated galbi, A5 waygu) and they were incredibly delicious when eaten alone or with the plethora of banchan. The meat was expertly grilled and served with care, a real dining treat to be so hands off during a KBBQ experience. All the ingredients and accompaniments were top quality. The space itself is not large, and we really appreciated not being rushed due to quick reservation turnovers. Highly recommend for a special occasion, will definitely be returning!

    We will be back for Tuesday Half Price Oyster night! Although we had booked to celebrate my husband's birthday, taking up the opportunity to enjoy east coast oysters at an affordable price, was a nice bonus. East coast oysters are the best and the healthiest! They were fresh, delicious and when I asked for extra horseradish and lemon, it appeared at the table in moments. We found the wait staff quite wonderful, and the manager pointed out that our corner banquet was #39 so when we come again, we can ask for that table. The rest of our meal was terrific, and the sparkler on my husband's cheesecake was a nice touch for his birthday. Tuesday was a nice night for us because the restaurant wasn't too noisy and crowded. Loved those oysters!
