Food: Food won't rock your world

Kimchi and A5 Wagyu Chuck Roll stand out amidst the noise, but the seafood platter's presentation can't mask the flavor darkness—some say it tastes like plastic. Freshness is reliable, though it is hit or miss, and the value is questionable when layout issues and service fail to impress.

  • Great Taste

    The food was incredible, sauce bar amazing, great fun for groups.

  • Okay Creativity

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Creativity sway.

Vibe: Showy ambiance short on comfort

The upscale vibe offers a nice aesthetic, but minor service glitches can muddle the dining experience. Patrons feel a buzz in the air, though cramped seating takes the edge off the vibe—never truly cozy enough for a proper date night.

  • Great Aesthetic

    Elegant lighting and chic accents create unforgettable dining ambiance.

  • Okay Comfort

  • Bad Drinks

    WOM doesn’t have enough context to give specifics on why the Drinks sway is negatively referenced.

Perks: Getting cozy can be a hassle

Group dining becomes tricky with cramped booths; table space feels like a rare commodity. Slow service further complicates dining, leaving guests wrestling with feelings of neglect, while staff appears detached and uninformed when questions about the menu arise.

  • Great for Groups

    Incredible food and fun place for group spice selection at sauce bar.

  • Okay Staff
