“the food on our visit was subpar by far. We enjoyed one of the teas on the menu which was packed with flavor, but every food dish tasted like mainly nothing to us.”

“Was the most disappointing meal ever. Interior design looked amazing, but the Chinese server knew zero about Korean food, couldn't explain anything, even about the supposed Korean owners, and the food was mid as hell and definitely not authentic.”
