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

Delicious food - we were at a table upstairs in the corner which was a bit quieter than the rest of the restaurant. It was quite loud, but cool decor and delicious meal
