Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The corn was sweet and juicy with huge amount of cheese."

  • "Charcoal-roasted pig feet are sooo delicious!"
  • "The Cabbage Gamja Stew was a revelation, definitely recommend to someone who loves soup like me!"

  • "Everything we ordered is perfect and the taste is soooo good!"

Cons:

  • "$60 gets barely enough food for 2 and it's not even real entrees. It's just bar food but dressed up slightly."

  • "The spicy rice cakes had potential but the rice cakes were over cooked and super soft."
  • "Food is mediocre at best. Korean pancake is too flourly and not crispy at all."
  • "The bulgogi nachos weren’t good, it got to the table very cold so the cheese and meat didn’t taste good and all the chips were stuck together."
  • "The whole fried chicken took about 20 mins to come out but was not worth the wait. It was so dry!"
  • "Some of their dishes like sausage bokum, and cheese chicken is over priced"

Cons:

  • "I think the karaoke selection needs a bit of work, so I'd recommend they add more western songs to their selection if possible."
  • "The bar service was TERRIBLE. Extremely slow and she didn't know how to make basic drinks like a margarita."
  • "Although we made a reservation weeks in advance for a large party, we were all split apart in separate tables."
  • "We asked for a large table all together but were denied even though there was a large table available."
