“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“Bangia is a Korean bar and restaurant with vibes that lasts and stick. Once those doors open, you already know it’s going to be a long fun night. They got creative drinks fused with fun Korean flavors that’s an absolute blast to quench down. Bangia does not have your typical bar food but an impressive menu of classic Korean dishes with a twist. We talking about real food that makes you drinking for hours. For a limited time during Valentine’s Day week, come in show some love with your partner, and they will show you both love with a dessert and two shots to share!“

Molly's outstanding hospitality combined with the fantastic food made for a memorable visit. We will definitely be back and highly recommend The Malthouse to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and top-notch service!“

“The food was so good and service was very quick! Everything came out hot and our waters were also refilled. Walking in on a Saturday afternoon I was not prepared for a club like atmosphere. Music is very loud, and very dark inside, especially in the bathroom. I could barely talk to the person 1 foot in front of me. I’d probably recommend getting the food togo.“
