    It’s always great. I love this restaurant I had something new today, the veggie burger, it was good but not as fabulous as other things I’ve had. Loved the side salad & dressing. Delicious!

    Food was so disappointing. A few of us got the Korean noodle bowl. We all had to hunt for the small and few mushrooms that were in it. It was basically a $20 bowl of noodles. Charge a little more and have some more mushrooms in there. They use to be the highlight of the dish. The only person that liked their meal had the salmon salad. Seems like this place has gone down hill.

    We apologize for the disappointment with the Korean noodle bowl, Natalie. Thank you for your feedback.
