Road noise from Grand River is pretty high but I didn't find it spoiled my experience.Parking: You want to go around and enter from the alley behind, the driveway from Grand River is pretty narrow and also the only way to walk from the parking lot to the front.”

“I ordered pick up and got the Seoul chicken sandwich with kimchi and a bulgogi taco. First time trying it since I recently moved to the area.Y’all…it was soooo good. My favorite restaurant I’ve tried so far. The flavors were amazing, (the food wasn’t bland which is an issue I keep running into around here!!), and the portions were generous for a great price! And keep in mind I got a pick up order before they closed. I can only imagine how bomb it would be to eat it fresh at the restaurant.The parking situation is jacked but that’s hardly the restaurants fault. If you’re thinking about it, try it.”
