   We had a great lunch. I had the brisket soup and my companion had the Bibimbab. Good food. Highly recommend it.

   A perfect plate for lunch. The portion sizes were perfect, not leaving you hungry or too full. Really delicious.

   The space is so cozy and warm feeling when you walk up the stairs and it opens up into the restaurant space. You're greeted by the staff the a view of the kitchen right as you get to the top of the stairs. We were a party of 3 (two adults and our child in tow) and had the set dinner menu for the evening. Can't remember it all but we had the beet salad, kimchi sui mai (dumplings), bulgogi and pork tenderloin, sauteed mushrooms (portabello, oyster, shittake and other), a variety of banchan (side dishes), SOT rice (brussel sprouts and garlic) and finished off with the rice "creme brulee" and black sesame earl grey tiramisu. It was quite a lot of food and we had to pack some of it home. The food was excellent in flavour and presentation. The service was top notch. Our server was very attentive and replaced our used cutlery and plates almost after every dish. Definitely coming back to try the other menu items.

   We went during their lunch hour when it was much less busy and everything from the food, ambiance, and service was great. It was a limited menu but everything was delicious and very homey. As a heads up, the restaurant is on the second floor with a narrow stairwell access, it’s not the most accessibility friendly for people with disabilities so something to keep in mind.

   A little cold in air and atmosphere but overall a very pleasant venue. Food was terrific and, although new, the waitress was perfectively attentive. Highly recommend SOT for sharing.

   This was the first time to the restaurant. Service was a 10 and the food was excellent in both presentation and taste. Highly recommend this gem in Inglewood.

    Moderate dinning experience. Family style dishes, food items we ate was good but wasn’t outstanding. Gave it a try! Beautifully designed new restaurant in Inglewood. A little hard to find as you could easily pass by the named door but we did see a sign pointing to its entrance. Be aware this location has been redesigned but it leads directly up stairs (unknown to me for easy accessibility). Welcomed quickly, our waiter was friendly and attentive. We ordered beef tartare, marinated Broek Berkshire pork, and SOT rice with the add-on of red fox fungi mushrooms. We got the items on a timely manner with free side dishes. Sides dishes we received were fresh kimchi, marinade braised peanuts and sweet braised beef. Later we got refills and one diff to replace the beef was a cold mashed sweet potato+raisin. Beef tartare - 5.5/10, good bite. The beef pieces was cut in small chucks, lightly seasoned. Asian pear sticks had the subtle sweetness it needed. Seaweed was seasoned well however eating it all together the seaweed took over the flavours from the tartare and masking it. Overall okay, not my favourite and it felt like it was missing a component to want more. Pork - 7.5/10 wonderfully tender and charred for smokiness. Enjoyed this dish as the dressed lettuce on the side complemented the pork. For the slices to be pre-cut, most were still stuck together. We did not receive a knife, so we used the other utensils we got to separate them apart. Still enjoyed the flavours overall. SOT rice with mushroom - 6/10, normal slightly buttered rice. Understandably well cooked for being freshly made rice. I was excited since it came in a small stone pot but the waiter mixed and portioned the rice into our bowls (seen at another tables too). Wished we could keep the stone pot at the table as I love having crispy rice from the bottom or scooping it slowly to keep it warm. Dinner was good but nothing stood out to us. Would try again for different dishes.
