The Valentine’s special made me a bit skeptical given the pricing, but it was 100% worth the price. The food was delicious, the drink I had was strong, the dessert was also good. The waitress was super nice and interactive.

My boyfriend and I had a great time eating here to celebrate our 3 year anniversary! We ordered the calamari, the first kbbq combo option, and the tiramisu crepe cake. Even though the first combo option said it feeds 1-2 people, we had plenty of food leftover. It could probably feed 3 people. The sheer amount you get is absolutely worth the price alone, but the service, experience, quality, and taste makes this the best deal. Our server, Jason, was wonderful to chat with and helped walk us through the dishes and pairings. The owner himself was going to every table, including ours, and helping cook. The restaurant is beautiful and clean, a great location to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, or to have friends and family dine together. The tables are a little wide because of the grill, so you might have to talk just a little bit louder to hear your guests. Despite not having eaten Korean food before, it was fun to try all the new dishes and we loved the meal. We will definitely be back in the future!
