A must stop place to eat in San Francisco! Had the chicken with honey crust and seafood ramen. Was a perfect meal on a cool day! The flavors were absolutely stunning! So glad we stopped here!

Bibimbap flavor was good, though spicy pork was not very spicy. Also, it could have been more food for the price. No free small plates like in other Korean restaurants, so an order of kimchi was extra. However, that maybe just for barbeque places which they don't have.

The food here is undeniably high quality, but it’s also extremely overpriced, and unfortunately, the service does not match the cost. I recently spent over $250 on our table, and when I requested additional lemon slices for the five plates around the table, I was surprised by the response. The hostess — a blonde Asian woman — seemed visibly annoyed when I pointed out that one small lemon, cut into roughly 15 tiny wedges, was not reasonable for a table of seven. Her reply? If I wanted more, it would be an extra $5.

We’re not in a country where lemons are scarce — they’re abundant and inexpensive here. Charging extra for something so basic, especially when customers are already paying premium prices, comes across as nickel-and-diming.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this incident made me reconsider. It’s also worth noting that tips are optional — yet here, they seem to expect upwards of 30% on every table, regardless of service quality.

At the end of the day, customers want three simple things: great food, friendly and attentive service, and fair value for their money. This restaurant is missing the mark on two out of three. If they continue down this path, I don’t see them staying in business much longer.

I tried this restaurant last night with a friend that had been there before and I liked it a lot! It’s small but cozy, with very kind and attentive staff. The food and the jasmine tea were delicious! I especially loved the appetizer with cheesy corn! 👌🏼

We ordered the Spicy Boneless Chicken and the Vegetarian Sizzling Bibimbap. Both the dishes were very flavorful and outstanding.

So many vegetarian options. We are definitely coming back to try more dishes.

It was just... fine — the service was nice, but nothing we ate wowed us. Don't get the Bimbibab; for $22, it's a shallow bowl of piddling rice and meat. Chicken jjim is better, but $3 for extra thin layer cheese feels dramatic.

Came in for a Friday lunch a little bit after opening, I was the only person in there. Decent food, good service. Bibimbap was good, would try other dishes if I am in the area again.
