There was mixture of amazing dishes and average dishes. It was overall interesting experience but I don't think I would go back. Mostly due to amount of the food compare to the price and I wasn't blown away by the taste and ingredient.

It’s amazing! Chef Lee has a creative way in working hard-to-find Korean ingredients into his dishes. Those dishes work really well for people who like Asian food but I can also see the dishes work with a wide range of taste buds.

Service was excellent and food was amazing! The whole experience was absolutely a treat for us; every dish was a work of art. This probably isn’t the experience for you, though, if you are not into Korean spices/not open to exploring Korean.

Had an absolutely amazing experience. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and Jeff the bar manager was amazing at recommending drink options to pair with our experience. His knowledge and great cocktails made the experience phenomenal. We had such a great time and plan to return for the full tasting course.

Their service was exceptional and the menu was great! Strangely pleasant experience that reminded me of home-cook meals at the fine dining restaurant.
