I’ve been for both lunch and dinner, this was for a birthday, such great value for such exquisite food. Up there with Buddakan in my opinion, just a more casual atmosphere.

Amazing food, my husband and I are still talking about it we'll after the weekend dinner. It is BYOB and there is a nearby spirit store if you need it. Don't drink? Get the pear punch! So refreshing I had two. Great food, friendly and warm atmosphere, we were served quickly.

I had great experience here before but it changed. The owner asked us to leave after an hour and a half, saying that there were people waiting outside. We were about to leave anyway since we finished all our dishes, but I was very disappoint at the service.

We really enjoyed everything we tried. The fried chicken with the chili sauce was particularly good. I had the spicy pork skillet which was yummy. Tons of leftovers too! Will be back.

While service was very nice and attentive, the food was quite weak. Kimchi pancake had essentially no kimchi, though a nice crust. My bibimbop was really underpar: Cold (like, fridge cold) veggies, watered-down rice, and an egg that had been cook back in the 1960s. My wife tofu stew wasn't much better---this time, though, the egg was raw...
