Food: Two-sided affair of cuisine
The food at this eatery seems to oscillate between commendable and barely acceptable. Best dishes like Kimchi Radish and Braised Short Rib strike chord with guests, but it reportedly stumbles with the freshness of some items especially rice and mackerel. On a positive note, portions are hearty and the variety offered is admirable.
Large Portions
Extremely generous portions with great quality meat served.
Okay Taste
Food experiences vary, with many positive and some disappointments.
Low Quality
Rice low quality and stale, mackerel not fresh, kimchi sometimes overripe.

Vibe: Blaring beats meet bright lights
The vibe here leaves much to be desired. An unsettlng mix of bright lighting and persistent, loud music falls short of delivering a cozy setting that one might hope for. Patrons find these elements disruptive and an impediment to an otherwise pleasurable dining experience.
Bad Ambiance
Bright lighting and loud music disrupt cozy, tranquil atmosphere for some.
Perks: Parking grace versus service disgrace
Perks in this establishment seems to have uneven scales. There is ample free parking, and it is often described as a quiet environment which gives way for great conversations. However, the service is undeniably lackluster with many complaints about poor staffing resulting in slow, unprofessional service.
Great For Groups
Accommodates groups well with spacious seating and efficient service.
Bad Service
Understaffing and neglect led to slow, unprofessional, and rude service.
