We arrived without a reservation, but I highly recommend making one. It was packed. Luckily, I think we arrived late enough that the crowd was clearing out and we were able to be seated in a cozy nook. The food was outstanding! We ordered several menu items and ate family style. Highly recommend. The service was awesome too!
Branzino and tartare here are both unique and delicious definitely mustorders for the table. We had the fried chicken as well which was good but more of a classic. Bingsu lacked presentation but was a sweet way to end the meal.

Absolutely an 1110 experience. Got seated at the window nook next to the bar and that was the best outcome. Service from the bar and servers was warm, attentive and so fun. Food was to die for, we just kept ordering more and more. Fun atmosphere and awesome playlist. Will be back!!
