   Their service was exceptional and the menu was great! Strangely pleasant experience that reminded me of home-cook meals at the fine dining restaurant.

   For someone familiar with Korean cuisine, many of the flavors will be well known. But for those who haven’t had the chance, the seven course meal will introduce you to many quintessential, concentrated tastes that you would find in Korean households, restaurants and convenience stores. The savory dishes were exceptionally savory, the seafood dishes captured a true oceanic flavor and the sweet dishes made you want more. A wonderful experience overall, if not somewhat expectable. There was perhaps a lack of ingenuity as the flavors and the overall experience felt like safe choices and similar to experiences at restaurants of comparable quality. A beautiful meal, but maybe in need of something a little more special to be an outstanding experience. The staff was extremely attentive and courteous, though we were held up at the front door for a few minutes when they were unable to find our booking. The host had what was perhaps an appropriate level of snobbery as they seemed more inclined to ask us to leave rather than continue trying to find the reservation.

   The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was perfect. The first bite, especially the wrap, was phenomenal.

   Wonderful ambiance. There was a knowledgeable staff in regard to drink choices, plenty non-alc choices as well and food pairings. Would definitely go back with people for the 7 course. Love to try the 7 course if individual is ever offered.

   Best restaurant experience I've ever had. The dessert was 110% so good that I wanted to lick the bowl. I wish I can go again

   This was one of the best meals / dining experiences I have ever had. Every bite was carefully thought out and delicious, the staff could not have been any nicer, and we had an amazing time for our anniversary! I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth. The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - Isaac
