I came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and the place was super cute and cozy, and the staff was very friendly. The food in my opinion was not great, I'm genuinely surprised they are on the Michelin guide. I felt things lacked flavor and was just very underwhelming for all the great reviews I see. Overall it was a good experience but I wouldn't come back.

Bring lots of friends or come often because you really should try it all. If you ordered something and you didn’t like it, it’s just your preference. The chef knows her stuff and is an artist. And being a Michelin Bibb Gourmand spot (congrats on another!), their prices are affordable.

Starters we sampled included the expertly composed Fluke Crudo (which was refreshing and delicious), Gamja Buchim (tuna sashimi on a potato pancake with wasabi-infused sour cream!), Dukboki Fundido (an incredible internationally-influenced dish incorporating Oaxacan cheese and Mexican chorizo alongside thick Asian noodles)...
