Food: Decent taste, questionable variety

The Kimchi Fried Rice and Dak Galbi are worth mentioning, each standing out for their unique flavor profiles. The creativity of the menu is commendable, taste is vibrant, and portions are generous. However, bankruptcy of fresh ingredients and a scanty menu are alarming, compromising the dining experience. The value for money is questionable given these inconsistencies.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions frequently highlighted, providing satisfied and full diners.

  • Bad Value

    Confusion on pricing detracts from the dining experience.

Vibe: Outmoded ambiance and uncomfortable setting

The interior is compact and harsh, with an outdated, plain décor that is far from inviting. The noise level is overbearing, making it an unideal spot for a date night. Its lack of buzz, not being fancy, and the dilemma of almost nonexistent parking spaces add to the disappointment.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Cramped and plain decor, non-descript harsh interior, outdated vibe mentioned.

Perks: Irritating service and lacking amenities

You won't find it easy to park here, the small lot is often crowded and street parking can be frustrating. Reservations pose a challenge due to limited space, leading to extended waits during peak hours. Dining in groups offers mixed experiences because of these issues and the service quality can be underwhelming, oftentimes slow, neglectful, and sometimes rude.

  • Okay For Groups

    Mixed experiences with group dining due to size and potential waits.

  • Bad Service

    Service often slow, unresponsive, rude, with staff sometimes neglectful.
