Had my mom’s milestone birthday here. Ryan was super responsive and the staff made sure we had everything we needed during the party. There is a bathroom dedicated to the large party room which I didn’t realize until we got there which was a nice plus.

This place is obviously for non-Korean customers who are seeking for Korean style foods but this place does not serve authentic Korean foods but immitated fency fusion Korean foods, of course taste was horrible, instant frozen food from local Korean market tastes way better. Rude service, small food portions, surprisingly over priced and mainly the owner or manager kept interrupting and asking to order more food and dessert unpleasantly (means invisiblely telling us to leave), we were group of 6 ended up spenidng $800 + tip for unpleasant experience. I hope the owner will contact me to delete this review by getting my info thru their advertising company. I will take them to court if they do so

The taste of the food here in general is very clean. Staffs are very nice and kind. Kids can have K-burger while adults can have Korean foods. I will definitely return next time.

Whenever I write reviews for restaurants, I tend to give high ratings. I think this is because I usually visit places that come recommended and feel they’re worth reviewing.

The clean and modern interior blends perfectly with the fusion Korean dishes, and the attentive service from the friendly staff adds to the overall pleasant experience. The Abalone Steak and Bulgogi Cream Pasta paired wonderfully with the wine brought by my companion, and I look forward to trying more dishes in the future.

Service was NOT it. My friend recently had her bridal shower party here by reserving a room. Great place to have get togethers and parties. She had the place reserved at 11:30 am and she arrived 15 mins earlier to set up the room since it was for a celebration. However, the worker there was saying how the room is reserved for 11:30 am and made things awkward for her for coming early, already ruining the mood. This place is also BYOB - my friend thought it was sweet to bring mimosas but the server gave her a hard time for bringing orange juice separately because they sold it there.

We all arrived and went into the room without knowing all this happening beforehand. Since it was a bridal party, my friend prepared little boxes for us to open. We were all so excited and happy and opening the boxes as you can clearly tell. Not even 5 minutes into us walking in, this female worker upstairs came in to ask us if we're ready to order food. Could she have not read the room that we clearly are enjoying a special moment? We were all hungry, we wouldn't waste time like that either. She then proceeds to say "there are people coming in now so it would be best if you can order now so we can get it going." Aren't we customers too? We were so taken aback by that but we brushed it off because we didn't want to ruin a special moment for my friend. So we quickly looked at the menu as she stared us down and ordered appetizers and told her we will order entrees in a bit. She gave us a look and literally came back a minute later to take our order...

We also asked her if they have coffee as we planned to order some after our meal. She says yes and a minute later she comes back and sees that we brought a small cake. She proceeds to say "since you guys brought dessert, you need to order something later like coffee" Did we not just tell you we will after we eat? Her approach of the conversation was just rude and disrespectful.

I. then went out of the room to use the restroom. I was heading down thinking it was downstairs. She yells "where are you going?? The bathroom is up here!!" I was so shook I've never received such rude service like that at a restaurant before. Why was she almost scolding me?

Towards the end, we were taking pictures before we cleaned up but she comes in and handed us the check. We just took it and literally less than 5 mins later she comes in and asks if we're ready. And we ask her to give us a few more mins. She then says fyi we close at 2:45 pm. It was 2:25 pm. She comes back and goes "are you guys ready? It would be nice if you guys can pay because I need to leave soon and need to wrap this up." She was treating us as if we were getting all this for free or something.

Overall, the service was TERRIBLE. Food was decent though. I enjoyed the room and the time I spent w my friends. But would I recommend it to my friends? No!!! Go somewhere else so the server doesn't ruin your celebration with your friends!!! Not worth revisiting unless you want to ruin your mood!!

The service was bad, server was very rude. I felt very rushed to order food, closes the door rudely saying my friends and I were loud, kept making expressions.
I booked the private room and because we brought a mini cake (supposedly not allowed), made us order coffee.
I did not feel welcomed nor comfortable and I was celebrating a very special day and it was a mistake to do it here. Dont book here for events!! I was so disappointed from the start until the end.

Can a server ruin an evening dine out with friends? The server was rude, pushing us to order more foods, stating “the portions are small, dish don’t come with rice, etc”. Instead of cleaning the table, she came back to ask us to order more foods even after we asked her to give us few more minutes to decide. She was unpleasant and made us uncomfortable. I should have spoken with the manager right then. The other helper who filled our water and brought serving plates was way more courteous and professional. The room was loud and it was hard to carry conversation. Dishes were okay but they do not justify the price. There were 9 of us and the server only gave us three small portioned banchan consisted of mashed potato, kimchi and salty pickle. Memorable evening for all the wrong reasons. I will not come back to this place.

Food is overall good, but the flavor fluctuates a bit from time to time. Service is always nice, there’s a lot of sunlight peeking through so makes it a vibrant place to have brunch that’s not the typical omelet, french toast, type.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor is wheelchair accessible but not the second floor. Good to give them a call to secure a spot on the first if you have someone on a wheelchair.
