It was the restaurant we were most looking forward to visiting in Seattle, and it didn't disappoint! Absolutely loved the soju and the kimchi were great, as was the kale chips! But the absolute highlight was the staff- Eric and Lyla were out of this world and some of the nicest people we've met in our travels! Cannot recommend this place more. And the vegan options alone, especially for Korean food, make it worthwhile!

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.

This restaurant is more of a Korean fusion place rather than a traditional Korean restaurant. The food was good overall, but the flavors felt a bit different from what I personally prefer. I lived in Korea for four years, so I tend to enjoy more traditional Korean tastes. One thing I noticed is that they don’t serve the usual Korean side dishes (banchan). Even kimchi needs to be ordered and payed for separately. In most Korean restaurants, including many fusion ones, you usually get at least a few complimentary side dishes with your meal. Overall it’s still a good spot, but for the price and the experience I felt four stars was more appropriate.

I seldomly write a review and even if I do so, I’d love to give good ratings to the restaurant, but this one had really disappointed me!! I came to eat today with high expectations since I saw lots of social media posts and a 4.7 review online. Honestly, the food was very average and the daily plate was totally not worth it. Why would there be soya braised tofu in the miso soup in an korean banjan plate? Shouldnt it be seweed korean soup or something? It did not feel authentic and the taste was just either too sweet, salty (soya sauce) or vinegary. The ribeye meat did not taste fresh to me, it felt like it was just marinated with supermarket bulgogi sauce, nothing special, and the pieces were small, all clump together. The pork belly was too dry, a bit overcooked, and not sure if the deep dry kale chips were supposed to be cold... Overall, it only looked nice in pictures and it didn’t taste anything special, did not feel fresh either. I am sad about this because I really thought that the food would be great and yummy. #verydisappointed
