    Went there two days in a row for lunch, something we do only when a restaurant is exceptional. Over the two meals, we had the seaweed salmon, confit pork belly, miso eggplant, and the bulgogi bebop, plus the chocolate dessert, and the old lady coffee. All were first rate and the young woman server on both days was helpful, fun to talk to, and offered solid recommendations. The decor is understated but the food is first rate. All in all, a five-star experience.

    Food was excellent, loved the raw and grilled oysters. The grilled were wonderful, spicy and Decadent with nori butter. Clam Portuguese dish was nice to share and paired very well with the Rioja that we ordered. My husband got the black squid ink risotto with calamari. This dish was perfect, better than anything we have had in Venice, Italy. I ordered the scallops and as much as they were excellent. I spent a lot of money for two scallops, when I was expecting three. However, the waiter comped dessert. The brownie was yummy! Most important the service wasn’t rush and when I booked we were at the counter, but I asked if we could be moved to a table. Wish was granted and we had a delightful meal.

    Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.

    Everything is very good. Order lots of plates, share your food and take home what's left so you can enjoy again the next day. Rangoon Tea salad is excellent..so many flavors. Samosas are the best....always get an extra order to take home. The broth of the fisherman's stew is to die for. I bring the extra broth home! Even the cocktails are good. If you give them a try, they will become part of your restaurant rotation!!
