Our party of 8 had friendly and attentive service. The cocktails and mocktails were very good. The kids liked their fancy mocktails. We came here because we were told the fried ribs were delicious and they were correct, they were delicious. The frites were also good, I got the truffle frites. The carrot cake was pretty good also. They have roof top seating so that's where we sat.
Our appetizers were good. Fondue fries was lacking salt. Pork belly bites were very good. Good balance of salt, sweet, and sour. I also had kalbi fried rice. The portions were smaller for the entrees. Kim chi fried rice was spicy and kalbi was well seasoned. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. Our server was Mattie who was excellent but seemed overwhelmed with serving tables and working the bar. We felt bad for her as other workers didn’t look as busy at all. We will return...
Overall, we enjoyed it and we’ll go back. The food was delicious and our server was great. As many reviews mention, portions are pretty small for what you pay. There’s also some mismanagement of people. Our server was also tending bar (even though we were seated at a table), so she was struggling to keep up. She did a great job for being in the weeds. Unfortunately there were two other employees just kind of hanging out while she worked hard.
