A hidden gem in Buckhead! I discovered this Korean steakhouse while visiting Buckhead, and it instantly became one of my favorite spots. It’s a delicious family-owned business that truly makes you feel at home. The food is packed with flavor — every dish feels like it was made with love. What made the experience even more special was the service. Ask for Lisa — she’s the heart and soul of the place. Her warmth and charisma make the whole dining experience unforgettable. She’s always around, making sure everyone is taken care of. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it. This place is all about great food, genuine hospitality, and that rare personal touch that makes you want to come back again and again.
