We came for dinner on NYE and were the only ones there. The apps were delicious but the entree (spicy pork) was lacking flavor. As someone who lived in Korea for 4 years I was disappointed. Service was below average. We were never checked on and our water was never refilled. Another family was seated right next to us when the entire place was empty.

We truly feel this restaurant has incredible potential for the ingredients and prep are quality. The restaurant was freezing which led everyone to keep coats around shoulders. The server never even faked a smile once. She just seemed miserable. The limited menu means all items are deliciously made to order which they were. There was an item I requested that was not available any longer. Menus and website could be updated. We definitely will give it a second chance in the Spring.

There was a high pitched sound that kind of reminded you were in the dentist office or something. Very cold inside, had to keep your winter jacket on. The spicy pork was burnt to charcoal on one side, very unacceptable. Told them about it and they were clueless. Would not recommend.

Terrible experience. Went on a Saturday night and it was dead in there. One other couple was eating, it was freezing inside, no heat, just a small space heater and dark, not inviting. Service was fine, server was nice. Food was terrible. Yaki Ramen was greasy, fried tofu was over cooked and hard. Tofu came out way before the food and was cold. Portions were smaller than last time on some dishes. Kimchi was pungent, so they served us older kimchi instead fresh. White rice was old and not fresh. Seated near the bathroom and it stank of urinal cakes. Don’t know how they’re still open. Meal was $100 and the biggest waste of money. Really regret going there and will never go back.
