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

Food Presentation: A+ Taste: B- Service: B- (slow for a Tuesday night) I dined here with a friend for dinner, and as a big fan of Korean food—especially Bulgogi and Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab—I was excited to try this place. I've visited various Korean restaurants in different cities, and they are usually packed with flavor. Unfortunately, I found the food here to be too bland for my taste. That said, the presentation was top-notch. The dishes were beautifully plated, making it feel like a fine dining experience. Everything, including the side dishes, looked fresh and well-prepared. However, the service was slower than expected, especially considering it was a Tuesday night with only a few other diners. Our meal took over two hours, and we didn’t even get dessert. The pricing also felt steep for the quality. I’ve had the same entrées at an Asian restaurant in Newport for half the price—and with much better flavor. It seemed like I was paying more for the presentation than the taste. Others might enjoy the food more than I did, but personally, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

We ordered lunch and the check was priced as dinner. It was not worth the taste. I was really looking forward to visiting this place as we drove an hour and a half but I probably wont come back. Maybe the other dishes are better?

Korean food at its finest! Great from the time you enter all the way through leaving. Food was so fresh and wonderfully tasty. My mouth is watering now thinking about the leftovers in the fridge. Very reasonably priced and generous portions. Liked the nibbles we got waiting for our appetizers. Can't wait to go back again. Did I say excellent wait staff who knew their food items and what was in the dishes.
