I was excited to check out this new place in Japantown and it did not disappoint. We had duck tacos and pork belly Benedict & they were delicious! Duck tacos were my favorite - savory and complex. The menu is mostly Asian fusion and the kimchi is house made (obvs in the name) and sooo good. Who knew kimchi & hollandaise combine to delicious effect. Cocktails were great too. Best of all was the server. So kind, friendly, and super fast. Also, we went for brunch and there was an entire baby group in there and it was not even loud. So everyone go check out the Fermentation Lab!!

We celebrated a milestone birthday. This was exactly the vibe I was looking for. The chose the duck fat fries and ahi with taro chips for appetizers. Entrees were a decent portion. Everyone finished their plate.

Nice spot for a Saturday night. Food was ok but pork belly was more like roast pork with kimchi. Good but not as expected. Better as a tapas / small plate place.
