Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.
Excerpts
I had Drew as a server he was so helpful, competent, kind, and attentive. He was a great server and the food was fantastic. This was my first experience was Korean food and hot pot and changed my life in the best way.
Overall: Not good, 1.5 stars. Left disappointed and hungry. Good: Host was nice, and server was fine. Bathroom was okay. Bad: Not vented properly. Another table burned their food 15 mins after being seated, and we had to smell it for the rest of our meal We got 2 items that we didn't order, portions were too big or too small -- Pitifully small portions of noodles and an oddly large portion of tripe (about a cup). Server didn't know which items were which. Frustrating, but understandable, given the people employed are probably underpaid and overworked with large menu options. The food is not great. "Vegetable tempura" (pictured) is more like cold fried tofu with tiny bits of random veggies. Not bad, but not as advertised. Never been to a Korean place where I didn't at like the kimchi. Overly sweet and bland. The cucumber salad is cut wrong -- they're supposed to be thinly sliced. Also seasoned more like Japanese cucumber salad, but with too much sesame oil. However, it's the food safety issues that's the most alarming. Cooked and raw meats together, bamboo reeking of fish (probably a storage issue).

This was my first experience at a korean barbecue. It was amazing. The service was great. The waitress was accommodating. The food was delicious and it was a great fun meal . Definitely something everyone should experience. Our family left feeling very full and satisfied.
