" I was excited to try this restaurant based on the hype, but I must say my experience was mildly disappointing. While the atmosphere felt nice, the food didn't meet my expectations for authenticity. The bulgogi was somewhat bland compared to others I've had. Service was fine, but I would love to see more consistent quality in the kitchen. Not sure if I'll return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a lovely restaurant! The menu had a great variety, and I couldn't resist trying multiple dishes. All were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic.
