We lucked out with the weather and sat out side in the sun however, even if we sat inside and it was pouring down The gyozas and the Korean fried chicken were phenomenal. I Highly recommend this place. Chad made the experience even better.

One of the best food experiences we’ve had! Comparable to New Orleans and Nashville for the food, drinks and vibe, yet here in Canada! Amazing service by Nicholas and Dan - best food and drink recommendations- food (tuna tataki, pork belly lettuce wraps, cauliflower) was all delicious. Try this place!

A great spur of the moment choice for a drink and a bite! Our server Kate was on point with options. A few shared plates and a couple beverages.
Only downside was that it was a little loud for a conversation but a great place to eat!
