My only gripe is that the food took a while to come out. Had 30 mins for lunch the person at the register said 15, took 25. Im not fired and the food was good 🤷🏽‍♂️ highly recommend if you have time.

Overall, pretty unimpressive food. We are big Korean food lovers and there are much better places in Boston/Allston/Cambridge. I had the kimchi jigae and my wife had the jjajang myeong. We both found the dishes light on the meat and somewhat under-flavored. Nice banchan and good atmosphere and service.

Wow! the food was truly exceptional.

It was so extraordinary that we returned the very next day to explore the dishes we had missed the night before. Every bite reflected care, creativity, and depth of flavor. Highly recommended.

One small note: not everyone is a fan of K-Pop. Reducing the number of screens or lowering the volume ( there is no synchronization between music and screens), could greatly enhance the overall dining atmosphere.
