    Incredible meal! Everything we had was so flavorful and special. Very easy plates to share for two people, and we came out full and satisfied. Our server was also great, service was quick and attentive. Our absolute favorite orders were the rice cakes and steak tartare, but everything off the menu was delicious. We will be sure to come again another time.

    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!
