    Definitely an elevated experience. From the front desk to the wait staff everyone is professional and knowledgeable. The ambiance is fantastic and so is the food. Highly recommended.

    Food is consistently good. I have been to this location five times. Service is great overall. When I made the reservation I indicated that it was for a birthday. When we showed up they had a card signed by the staff for my friend. It was a really nice touch. The reservation was made last-minute, maybe an hour before.

    Outstanding Korean steakhouse near Riverwalk. Food prepared perfectly, excellent wines by the glass. Steak frites was well executed with pitch-perfect chimichurri. Rice cake cacio e pepe! I can barely breathe.

    I eat and cook a lot of Korean food. I was so excited to try this restaurant expecting to try a gourmet Korean food. In summary, while the wait staff and the ambience great, the food and the value were not great. We ordered the premium steak set and I had less than ten small bites of meat. That’s simply not acceptable at $75 per person. The banchan which was part of the set was 5-6 side dishes and they were disappointing. The ssam was 3 perilla leaves and 3 large lettuces. The kimchi was not tasty. Japchae had too much liquid at the bottom of the bowl and egg soufle was hard. This restaurant has so much potential but they seriously have to step up their food game.

    Food was solid, but could’ve been better. My king salmon dish had pin bones still, which was disappointing considering the price. The complimentary drinks, service, and ambiance were excellent. Rating: 3.5/5 overall.

    Very nice place with a different slant on presentation. Pick your meat preference and they cook it at your table. Steak/sides all very very good. Really nice place to bring a date.

    I understand that I was a party of one, but I have never been so rushed out of a restaurant. Tables around me were getting complimentary drinks, and food came out slowly. My food came out super fast, and after a bit, I was asked if, since I was slowing down, we should pack it up. Very disappointing.

    They were out of monkey bread, which was disappointing, and suggested focaccia bread and they were out of that too. The food was yummy. The waiter gave us dessert on the house which was very nice.
