Love the open seating kinda shared atmosphere welcoming people to share tables. This is Bo's special and then mixed with the spicy sauce they have.
Always crispy fresh greens that stay nice even when mixing in the hot meat and sauces.
Service is a cool Idea that also like the seating get people to interact if you want a beer you are welcome to go up to the bar and grab one, but doesnt make you go through the whole formal waiter/customer drag.
Definitely big but finishable portions.
The for the price of a certain amount of guys burger you can get what is pictured above. Price seemed justified for all the fresh ingredients.
Highly recommended

Delicious food with generous portions! The patios are gorgeous. The service is very hands-off with online ordering, which is a boon for my introvert self. They have multiple patios (my picture is of patio 1)

I love the vibe here, it’s very chill. You can sit outdoors on a really nice patio or indoors in the café area or the bar area. That said, I’ve tried the café drinks and they’re mostly good, but the food is just so bad. The portions are large and, in theory, the dishes sound like they should taste good, but they never do. You end up paying a lot of money for food that just isn’t enjoyable, especially for anyone who’s actually had good Korean food.

They advertise breakfast but there is no breakfast available except pastries. The staff was very snooty.

The food was very good. Items were prepared fast and brought to our table with all required items. You order with a QR code so be prepared for that. We went around 11am and the environment and ambiance was good. Not too packed and felt great to start your day when taking things slow.

Automatic 15% gratuity added.

With that said I was not a fan of my latte but that’s my only gripe.

This restaurant is a must visit when youre in the area because of the open air concept with family style portions. Food is packed with great flavors and the cocktails are perfectly curated. Kid friendly and cozy vibes.

We ordered the Quesadillas KBBQ. Never again. No flavor, and we had to come home and add more cheese. I called in the order and picked it up. This is only the second time I've eaten here. The first timer ordered through DoorDash, and it was delicious. We ordered the rice plate with Korean beef and the Bulgogi Gimbap.

I would have just given this feedback to the restaurant, if they had offered contact other than phone and snail mail. As long as I'm here, I'll say more. The ordering system is uniformly maddening, takes forever, even after having done it before. The prices are hard to fathom, given the mandatory service charge for service that is only delivering food. Having to pay an upcharge for beef in bulgogi is hard to fathom. What I originally meant to mention was that the kimchee had not fermented, really surprisingly, quite disappointing. I can make better kimchee at home. The patio area is quite nice, but I don't think I'll be back.

Delightful find! Super cool space, both multiple garden vibe out door spaces that are dog- friendly and contemporary indoor spaces. Good classic Korean food menu and extensive draft beers.

Food looked better than it tasted... not great. Pretty large portions. No menu.. order and pay online and food is delivered to your table. Zero atmosphere. Tables for 6 available.

Might actually be the best coffee I've ever had, and I'm honestly a *tiny* bit of a coffee snob. Really wish they offered a little more gluten free food, but I understand that soy sauce is obviously a necessary ingredient in a lot of stuff. (Maybe they could use tamari instead in some of the proteins? Could of course be a reason not to that I'm missing.) Also, accessibility nightmare, steps EVERYWHERE lol. That being said, it's a really cool spot and I'd still recommend it for just coffee. Staff was also really polite.
