“It’s traditional korean cuisine executed at the highest level. There’s only 1 seating per night so I’m pretty sure it’s purely a passion project, not sure how that’d even be profitable. But yeah if you do secure it prepare to spend ~3 hrs, you get to converse with the chef and all, it’s quite special.”
