    The food is amazing……I ordered the Chili Garlic Chicken, and my wife ordered the Ja Ja Myoung. Great value and amazing taste. We felt like we were at a Chinese Korean restaurant in Seoul. Give it a try I am confident you will find something that will satisfy your taste. Also the wine, Soju, and other beverages menu is very nice.

    Amazing experience, great vibe. The beauty and talent met our expectations. We were only there for music and a nightcap, so didn’t eat. The cocktails were good and the staff was great. Enjoyed the music. It may have been a couple of dollars over priced per cocktail. However, I will recommend this place and look forward to coming back again. My only complaint is they don’t require guests to follow their dress code. If you have a dress code, follow through. It was disappointing to see men in work and graphic T-shirts while the rest of us made the effort to meet their guidelines.
