Very well done Korean cuisine. Fast service. Family friendly. Lots of vegetarian options. A bit pricy but you get what you pay for! Large potions and everything we tried was delicious.

A great find! At first, it was difficult to find because its inside another building with other venues, but it was so great. The food is very authentic and delicious. The service is great, and the atmosphere is bright and inviting.

The restaurant is located a level below, inside down the right staircase. Fast service and great food. We ordered the steamed egg and special house soup with pork belly. Everything tastes fresh including the side dishes.
