The food was really good but the service really bad. They let us book a table at 9.30 but 10.30 we were forced to leave. We hadn’t finished our food when they brought us the dessert and after putting the dessert on the table they grabbed our dirty plates. Too expensive to have bad service.

Highly recommend finding elsewhere to dine.Service was very inattentive and had to get up several times to flag a waiter when we needed something (after waiting 10min or so).Food was mediocre at best. Dishes mashup of flavors that didn't really work at all. Not sure if its related but my girlfriend also had food poisoning the next day.

The food was good but I don’t like the atmosphere. Idk why they need 5+ waiters for a small restaurant like this (most of them were just standing there). It’s supposed to be a romantic night but the vibe was off when you have at least 3 waiters staring at you eat. At the end, the table next to me received a meal on the house and we got nothing. Idc about the free meal since me and my girl were full but it just seemed like we weren’t welcome after the waiters did that. Maybe you have to order at least $100+ to get a complimentary meal, and it’s likely the table next to me just happened to order $100+ although it seemed to me we got the same bill.

This restaurant is really great, suitable for dates and friends gatherings. The environment is great, the cocktails are delicious, and the food is great. I will visit this restaurant again.
Went during restaurant week, food and service was great! The grilled octopus and scallop were delicious. Got the jeju old fashioned that hit just right, not too sweet or
This fusion Korean restaurant should be a must try spot in NYC. They have stellar food offerings with creative yet delicate and flavorful dishes. Their grilled pork, seared scallop, noodle with uni, octopus, clam, and tartate are all delicious. The matcha x yuzu drink is definitely enjoyable. They're accommodating with our altered reservation so definitely a pleasant experience overall.

I had a high expectation before visiting so the food ended up not meant my criteria that well. Overall good, some little things could’ve be improved but ❗️definitely get the steak! Our favorite dish that night.✨Top 3: Steak, Boneless chicken, Injeolmin ice creamDetailed review for each dish below.The ⭕️fried Korean Chicken was a heavy one (taste) but delicious. Crispy skin with juicy meat. The radish on the side really helped refresh the gooey taste from the sauce. I recommend have it with the chicken together.The cheese tteokbokki was rich but the rice cake was overcooked, too soft. Plus, for some reasons, there was a stinky taste came out as we were finishing the dish. We figured out it was the iron pot they used, a fishy, irony taste went over our the food remained on the pot.Clam Sujebi was good. Sujebi was chewy and doughy, better than the rice cake I mentioned above. The soup was salty so we didn’t think it’s easy or necessary to drink it. Unless some rice or bread at the side with this dish.For the scallop barley, I appreciate the four big scallops on the top for sure, but I felt they didn’t necessarily combine well with the jjajang barley under. Jjajang tasted salty and artificial for me.. like packaged jjajang sauce from big chain factories. I had been living in South Korea for a while.. so I had great jjajang dishes before and know how it can be made better and has richer flavor.And the ✨✨✨steak. No complaints for this one. Well cooked meat with various kinds of side sauce and creamy smashed butter squash.Last, for dessert, I also recommend the ??Injeolmin ice cream. It was not too sweet and the cheese on the top balanced that taste. A hint of saltiness went well with the ice cream.My friend didn’t like the cocktail she got which was the plum pear one. She said she didn’t taste any pear flavor inside and she was a little bit disappointed.
Great food great cocktails, got the matcha one ! The ice cream with cheese is so good !

Very nice experience. And - cause it’s restaurant week - I’d run over there to take advantage of the $66 special. Tuna tartare- tops - scallops- super. Nice staff. Better than any place on 32nd
