I loved the whole expeience, the welcome tea, the food, how thoughtful they are with all the little details. Food was good but I think it should be 1 nodge less spicy. I would come back for sure. And the coffee they offered us at the door was so cute 😍

My favourite Korean restaurant
I really enjoy their banchan—it’s fresh and flavorful. The Korean sausage and fish cake taste like home, and the kimchi is excellent. The marinated crab is tasty, and the rice wine pairs nicely. Service is warm and friendly.

The banchan is incredibly refreshing, the Korean sausage and fish cake are authentic and full of flavor, and the kimchi soup is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Service is excellent—warm and attentive. I absolutely love this place

We tried the food for the very first time. The service was top notch, the food delicious. At such standard I was hoping to see more patrons as it should be.
We ordered mung bean pancake, Kalbi Jjim, spicy sausage and fried egg plants. Super delicious through its high quality food.
Before we left they offered us free coffee and hot chocolate which I think was smart and sweet.
Hope more people would discover this restaurant like we did.

This is the 2nd time we were visiting. The first time it was ok. A little bit too much for what it is though they paid attention to the presentation. This time around, the food was rather a failure. I had the red perch and I don't know but this was very far off from acceptable. I don't know the diet of the fish when it was alive but it might have been a very anemic fish. The remaining white meat could be put literally on a table spoon which left the fried skin with the sweet sauce. The other dishes were also very so so. Presentation isn't everything. The fried pork belly is good, the grilled giant clams a little bit a hit or miss story. Salmon sashimi was okish. The tteok kalbi nice presentation though again barely cutting it.

Came here for a night cap and it was great! Food smelled so good, hoping to come back soon! Feels a little fancy and flashy for Brookline. Good addition to the neighborhood.

Overall a fantastic experience!
Hats off to the staff, it was top notch service rivaling that of a fine dining restaurant but with fair prices and generous portions.
We received a pleasant surprise of complimentary kimbap and a wonderful cinnamon tea, setting the tone for the whole afternoon.
The Kimchi Odeng, Pork belly, Raw marinated crab and braised Galbi were all phenomenal, with the Galbi receiving a special table side carving. The cocktails were also excellent, sweet but refreshing and really pairs with the intense flavor of the main dishes.
I’m very pleased with my dinner and is a one of a kind place in Boston, a must try!

From start to end this was a carefully curated experience by the restaurant staff and chefs. Every service team member explained each dish along the way and presented them with care. Free starters of cinnamon tea and bibimbap. We got the spare ribs, fish cake stew, spicy raw crab, and pork belly. I think the fish cake stew was my favorite, but they were all delicious, especially with the complimentary sides of kimchi, spicy fish cake, spicy potato, and pickled radish. Melon and peach soju drinks were super smooth and refreshing, albeit a little light on alcohol. Once again the staff were SO nice and considerate without being eager or invasive. They even offered us complimentary coffee on the way out! And the decor was cozy and intimate. 10/10 experience.

We came here with a reservation for dinner at 6:15 on a Saturday and we were promptly seated. The staff (including our server, Kevin, who was awesome) is incredibly friendly and helpful and made our time here very enjoyable! This Korean BBQ tapas joint has a cool lounge-like decor on the inside. We were provided a complimentary cinnamon drink as we sat down and it was excellent. We put in a few orders and the food started coming out shortly thereafter. The standouts for us were the complimentary bonchan, mung bean pancakes, spicy stir-fried Korean sausage, and the Army stew. The spicy Korean sausage was exceptional and my personal favorite! It has a nice level of spiciness to it and the texture and flavor of the sausage, marinade, and veggies were incredible! I loved the Army stew as well, the ramen noodles, spam, and broth hit the spot! Definitely recommend coming here to try this place out!
