    The food is fabulous as always! We sat outside and the music from neighboring venues made it difficult to converse. Would have sat inside had we known. Went on a Saturday so perhaps mid-week outside would be fine.

    Delicious food and great service. Wonderful overall. We had kimchi sampler, short rib wontons, crab pasta and tea panna cotta. All were outstanding. Cocktails were nice too. Soju was expensive but nice.

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

    Excellent food, a good drink selection, and great service. We loved the open kitchen experience and seeing the team work on putting out the dishes of the dinner rush. We did a few items to share, including the short rib wontons and jaengbang noodles, and tried out all the hot sauces from the "sauce buffet" - 10/10, all delicious!

    The food is always fantastic here but I have been a longtime fan of this restaurant since 2017, and I have noticed that the portions have been getting smaller and smaller here. Also, the cocktails were crazy overpriced. I work in the industry so I know what things typically cost. I ordered an old fashioned with Suntory Toki whiskey which was listed on the Captain’s List for 10$. Now I understand, as a bartender, it is customary for bars to add a small up charge for a cocktail, usually between $2 to $6 dollars. Revel charges 9$ to add bitter and simple syrup to whiskey! This just feels excessive to charge 19$ for a drink that should have been approximately 14$. The same thing was done to my girlfriend’s drink, it was a 12$ up charge. Not to mention that they have instituted a 22% “service charge” this is not considered a tip, and the server only receives 14% of this fee. The whole experience felt very shady, I don’t mind splurging on great food, and a great experience, while also taking care of my server, but this simply felt like I was being taken advantage of. I don’t care how good the food is I will never be back here since my trust in this establishment has been eroded. Really disappointed in this business, since it used to be one of my favorite places.

    It was very good. We were there celebrating my husband’s birthday. It did get pretty busy around the time we were ready for dessert. When the dessert came, it was without the birthday candle I’d requested on Open Table. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice if that detail had happened.
