   The decor is so well done and the restaurant looks amazing! The quality of meat was superb as well. Drinks were tasty and the drink menu was extensive. My one qualm is we had a reservation for 6 guests and we were seated at a large table with another party. Usually they give separate tables or even a divider so it was def a diff experience. They also had private party rooms that weren’t in use for the duration we were there. We ordered 3 diff types of meat and all were so yummy. Give the yukhoe a try. It’s so well presented. And the dwaengjang jiggae was so perfectly seasoned. Overall the food, drinks, and vibes were great!

   Not sure if this was truly a Korean restaurant. The side dishes were so few and had to order everyting a la carte, including rice. Meat was not even enough for one person after 2 orders. Soup did not taste like Korean soup.

   Jay aka Jeremiah was the best server ever. Never had such a fabulous experience. We were celebrating a birthday and Jay made it extra special. We really appreciate you, Jay. We wouldnt have had such a memorable experience without you so thank you. Food-wise, AMAZING! The snow flower kkotsal is to die for. It melts in your mouth. The meat cuts are so delicious and reminds me of Korea. Amazing amazing hands down and cant wait to go back!

   Food was average for the price. Service was pushy to order more food despite not being super hungry

   Good place for a date or special occasion. Food is great and you do not smell like meat after.

   Amanda was fantastic, service was done very well. Ample amounts of communication and Shane was seen doing table touches as well. The food was great quality. Another well done establishment by Akira.

    For the price I would go somewhere else. Maybe it’s because it just opened? Idk. Got 2 meats , the pizza, and cold noodles. Pizza - 4/10 . It’s literally a thin slice of raw meat on a tortilla chip. Lacked flavor. Meats - 7.5-10 . For the price it had to be decent , if not it would have been a lower score. It was nothing crazy. They also burnt my first slab and had to re-make it. Cold noodles - they forgot it , so idk. Complimentary bonchon - 2/10 . It was just kimchi and the radish. They make you pay for more .. It was like a $300 bill for 2 .
