Raw wasabi octopus $9 slimy and good. Goes well with the rice Boneless chicken with yuzu sauce $13 was crispy Spicy raw marinated crab $35 I enjoyed this but it seems to be an acquired taste as my cousins did not enjoy it too much Kimchi fried rice $17 favorite Comes with gloves Friendly staff Clean bathrooms Would come again

Came here for dinner with some friends. It is veryy cute vibe but a lot smaller than I thought. The service was very quick. The mango drink was okay but I really liked the passionea one. The soy sauced marinated crab was not available since it's seasonal but we were able to get the spicy version. It definitely still hit the spot. The galbi was a little sweeter than I'm used to and I wished we got a little more. The kimchi fried rice was my favorite. It looked a bit soggy at first but it was very good. Ooohh and the taco trio was super delicious. It sounded kinda weird at first but it really works together! Lastly, the spicy pork belly was perfect. I liked how they added other veggies in it.

Came here for a friend's birthday on a Friday night. It was quite empty around 8pm, but more people came throughout the night. I liked the lights and decor of the store. The staff was super friendly, especially the bartender with the Philadelphia tattoo! We ordered the teokbokki, dumplings, and gimmari seaweed rolls for snacks. They're sharable snack sizes. There's a variety of sojus and cocktails to choose from. We ordered a soju that suspiciously tasted like water... it crept up on me real bad haha. The music was bumpin' all night. It's a cool hangout spot!

Can't say enough great things about this place. First off, Dmitry & Avery were so nice and sweet. Great vibes for sure. The food was super tasty. We ordered the spicy raw crab, kalbi, and the korean fried chicken. They all tasted delicious! The ambiance is super chill, great for conversations and great for vibing out. Definitely worth stopping by om a weekday for some amazing korean food :)

Very ecstatic pocha style spot that blends a Korean style bar with a night club atmosphere. There's a dj playing music in the corner making the place quite lively. Interior looks super artsy with a lot of posters and decorations hanging on the walls. They have a wide variety of soju to beer to Korean inspired cocktail options and a solid selection of bites to go with all the drinking. Came on a Saturday night and it was such a party in there where people were dancing and downing drinks. Pretty fun if you're into that type of atmosphere! Service here was super quick and our server + (I think the owner?) was very accommodating/made sure we were doing fine or needed more drinks. Between 4 people, we ordered: Golden fried chicken: soy hellapeno & yuzu delight - would definitely recommend! Super crispy and flavorful Monster style Tater tots w/ bulgogi -Tater tots were bomb Spicy pork belly - would def recommend this as well Tteokbokki - wanted to like this but it was just ok. The rice cakes texture was just too mushy Red monkey makgeolli - sweet with an alcoholic kick! Neoul bom makgeolli And Soju of course Overall a great experience, would def come back!

The raw marinated crab and shrimp were definitely the highlights of the restaurant. Essentially a pocha like place. We also really loved the wasabi octopus, fried chicken with yuzu glaze and tteboki. Easy to eat and drink a lot here - be careful with the alcohol!!

A lovely spot for good food and drinks that makes you feel like you're in Korea! We pre ordered the raw marinated prawns and crab and these were yummy - especially the crab!! We also really liked the raw octopus with wasabi. The soft tofu soup was a little different than normal as it was sweet but still great! Loved the teokkbokki because of the long and chewy ones! The fried chicken was a smaller portion than we expected but all the food was great overall. We got a variety of drinks including makgeolli, soju, and beer and enjoyed all of this. We unfortunately encountered a drunk customer who had an accident near our table - but the manager of the store was really apologetic and offered us some free drinks to make up for it. We'll definitely be coming back for their kpop nights as we were also a little disappointed we didn't hear kpop the night we went but were promised their K-pop's nights will be super fun!

The Food Bulgogi with portobello mushroom is an absolute must and a star dish. Super great with cheese and I had a side of pickled daikon. The daikon didn't seem too pickled, but serving, but slightly overpriced. I really could have done without the dragonfruit beer which one of the staff really pressured me to buy, but he also recommended the bulgogi mushroom which was spot on, I am just not a beer person at all and would have preferred another drink. Sometimes you try things you've never had for the sake of it and he said it was rare for some event. It did have a nice smell though. The Ambiance Very cute decorations, all bright, and cute stands with some other Korean snacks. The place while intended for adults as a bar, has several tables and local families came with their children (under 10 years old), who were running around which I found surprising, but also noted that it's a generally very safe and clean environment that is well lit. Verdict All in all, I'd come here again, but for other drinks. The mushroom dish was great but they have other ones I would also like to try. One star less for the beer, sometimes it's better to listen to the customer.

Super cool interior with images of korean streets on the walls. Very colorful and has cool neon signs as well. There is plenty of seating inside, mostly tall tables with bar stools. Service was great! Had my water filled multiple times and got asked how things were many times. Parking is okay in the area, but not in the safest neighborhood. We ordered: -raw crab: came with sesame oil, rice, seaweed pack, and gloves. Wasn't too spicy and tasted fresh. Also gave a good portion size. Limited portions daily! -KFC with yuzu sauce: juicy pieces and liked the sauce. The pieces are more popcorn chicken sized. -wasabi octopus: fresh and yummy! pairs well with soju. -plain soju Overall, would come again for the good service and food. We spent ~$95 for everything listed, so definitely more of a weekend treat meal for me!

Everything from food and service was a whole vibe! Definitely a great place to kick start my trip to South Korea later this year. A great place for date night or a fun night with friends. They have an excellent list of drinks and food options, so you'll forsure have an amazing night ahead. Btw, I was told it's giving Korea Nightlife ;) Let's get into what we ordered: - Seoul Mate x2 - So-Maek - Spicy Corn Cheese - Spicy Raw Crab - Gochujang Beef Bulgogi - Kimchi Fried Rice Bon appetite!
