This is my first time dining experience at Joomak. We had a great time. The waiters are very attentive. The course came out at a timely manner. One comment is if there's an option for children to select from a la carte menu.

Place is very serene. Restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of Genesis showroom. Small, but very relaxing, tea room next to restaurant for people waiting for table (you have to take off shoes and sit in floor). Thought service and food quality was good. Value on some of the entries (like teok galbi) isn’t quite there but a nice restaurant nevertheless with a great view.
