Very enjoyable. Chinese Broccoli was undercooked and for the first time the Kimchi pancake was not delicious. Regardless, great place, super nice people.

We had the tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was delicious. Service was a little clumsy, and the main listed on the tasting menu was listed as halibut but steak came instead (with a Chardonnay in our glass)? Seemed that if the kitchen needed to sub they would have communicated with service staff and adjusted the wine...no explanation given and server didn't seem to notice (but did check to confirm steak was what kitchen intended). And then our check was wrong. Beyond the little service hiccups, we had a great meal.
