   This place is not Korean. It is Korean fusion at best. It is a non-Korean fancy chef's take on the food. Good drinks. Loud atmosphere. Caught the server talking about us to another server. Chef's tasting menu is poor value. The entire first course is stuff you get free at every Korean restaurant. The raw fish in the crudo has a delicate flavor that was completely masked by the kimchi foam. Such a poor pairing of ingredients. I won't be back.

   The food was just okay. The meats were very bland and service was a little slow

   They made such a special experience for my mom and I. She had a tough year and I made a small note in the reservation saying how special a meal this would be. They definitely added their touch - I will be a ride or die forever (or for as long as they keep pumping out great restaurant concepts! I’m there!)

   What a spectacular dining experience. First and foremost the food was stellar - the menu has a variety of options from the usual to the exploratory (unless you are a frequent Korean cuisine diner). We did the chef's counter and loved it. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The tasting menu provided an opportunity to explore a lot of different items from the menu. It's presented in a way you can mix and match as you see fit. The value was impressive as the quality and quantity of food would have easily given another meal. We even got to meet the owner who was super engaging and clearly cares about the entirety of the restaurant, staff, customers, and the food. One of the best experiences ever.

   New À la carte menu is an awesome addition! Wings and burger from Toki was amazing to see back.

    We had the Chef's Tasting Menu and we liked most everything, the favorites of our group were the Mandu, crudo, pork belly, sausage, and short ribs. The elastin in the steak was so tough it made it impossible to bite or chew so no one in our group of seven liked or ate it. The cocktails are creative and delicious but way too expensive at around $17 each. The overall take away is that the service is fantastic, the cocktails are delicious, the food is mostly great, but it is far too expensive.
