If you go during restaurant week 2026 save your money and do not order the prefix menu!The brisket jjajangbap was incredibly disappointing. It was a cold, hard, flavorless slice of brisket over white rice and the black bean sauce was so bland it was inedible. We were shocked that it cost that much and saw other people around us struggling to eat it. My partner and I also ordered a burger and fries to share. The burger came sliced in half and drowning in sauce, it was so messy to eat. The flavor was good but the bordelaise sauce was too sweet and overwhelming. I've had better burgers elsewhere. The ambiance is great and the DJ was spinning loungey deep house cuts on vinyl, which was the main draw for me. Everything was incredibly overpriced though. I got the NA cocktail with THC added and it was $15 to feel absolutely nothing. I love the concept and was excited to have a cute listening bar in my neighborhood. I think I would go back for a couple of regular cocktails and a snack to share, as their regular menu looked decent, but I do not recommend eating a full dinner here as you will leave hungry and broke!

If you're going to open a Korean restaurant, rice and kimchi shouldn't even be considered things that you could possibly mess up. One of our rices in our jajjangbap was a bit too sticky (even for short grain), but fine. The other was hard and undercooked. Apparently they make their kimchi in house—they'd honestly be better off sourcing from outside because it is seriously off. It wasn’t fermented enough, which is fine if they were trying to go for geotjeori—I love a good unfermented kimchi. But, I think they were missing some core elements. The jjajang sauce was too salty. I understand if they didn’t add pork belly for dietary accommodations, but I felt like it was missing some depth to it. Also, white pickled radish is not the choice for pairing with any jajjang dish. If they choose to keep offering a jajjang dish, I hope they source some danmuji (yellow pickled radish). It’s a completely different flavor and it matches jajjang much better. It feels like they compromised on non-negotiables. That being said, the small bites, drinks, and vibe of the place is great and I see a lot of potential. The tapioca appetizer was great—interesting, love the texture, etc. Loved the dessert, too, and I want to re-emphasize that the drinks were also good—they just failed in the most important part to me. Sound system was very nice and cool, which makes sense bc part of the brand is that it's a listening bar. However, they should consider changing the music they play. The jazz did not match the look or the menu at all. At one point they played an instrumental piece that straight up sounded like a murder-mystery horror film soundtrack from the 50s which is crazy considering that they give the option to add THC to drinks; why are you trying to get ur customers high and paranoid😭? The way the place is decorated (cool lighting, wood, mid century-ish), could fit R&B more. Would come back to sit at the bar and have drinks and small bites— and if they changed their music

The salmon nigiri has the perfect amount of wasabi for spice and cream cheese to soften. The Karaage chicken was perfectly crispy. Everyone knows the cheeseburger here will rock your world, submerged in beer cheese to dip with every bite!

I am still baffled as to why I paid $23 for a small bowl of hot rice with a few chunks of spam - or - $28 for the worst Pad Thai I've ever eaten with a few pieces of undercooked shrimp mixed in. The vibes in the space were fun and the music was entertaining but the service and food delivery were painfully slow. We were sat at 5:30, it was still quiet. Toward the end of the meal as we were barely finishing our main entrees (which came out with at least 10 minutes between each), we were handed the bill and a forced apology when our server told us they limit seat times and we were at the end of ours.

I almost did not go because of some of the negative reviews, but after going, it is clear that the negative reviews are just whiny and dead wrong. This place is an experience. From the vibes and vinyl DJ to the excellent*** food. It is a bit pricey, and you probably shouldn’t go if you’re starving for a huge meal, but genuinely, it was so good. If you enjoy very high quality, intentional food, it is a must try! Also, my wife loves a good martini, and she was beyond impressed with the greek salad cocktail.

So this place has been revamped from being a fine dining Korean establishment, to a more casual dining experience. The menu still reflects many Korean inspired components. However, the dj booth and blaring music has transformed it from what I presume used to be much more formal setting. I came here specfically to try their signature cheeseburger with bacon set atop a bordelaise sauce. The burger was very good but I would not be honest if I did not feel other places had better burgers. But I still enjoyed this tremendously! The fries was typical of other fries, nothing special here. But I did truly enjoy the side of house made banana ketchup. Its not as sweet as the Jufran brand but has a unique taste with the added chinese 5-spice. Im sure later in the evening its probably more bustling and hopping to the live dj, but still a very nice place, inviting staff and excellent ambiance and decor!

We were put off by the disposable wooden chopsticks, paper napkins, and printer paper menu in a dirty plastic binder sleeve. Definitely doesn't fit with the price point. The food was alright. The cream cheese totally overpowered the nigiri, the fries tasted frozen, and the burger and crudite were fine. Expected much better for the price. But the cocktails were great and music was awesome! Loved the ambience, but were not pleased with the value.
