Omg best restaurant in greater Boston area. Hanna’s service was impeccable, made us feel so welcome and comfortable we can not wait to come back. The food was AMAZING, kimchi some of the best we’ve ever had, and the lychee sushi at the end was SO. GOOD. we WILL be back. Thank you for an amazing experience.
I had the mala black bean noodles. It was superb. Staff was very friendly kind. I would go here again. You should give it a try.
The Tteok Bokki with ramen and cheese was great and the portion was HUGE! It was enough for several people or several meals. Slightly spicy, and good flavor. The Ganjang ( Glazed Soy & Sweet ) Chicken was okay. I liked the sauce, and it probably would have been better fresh at the restaurant instead of getting it via door dash. Not bad, but very thick and heavy breading. I would definitely try again and try more items.
