" Dancen lives up to its reputation for authenticity in Korean cuisine. Each dish we tried was phenomenal and reminded me of eating in Korea. The service was friendly but a bit on the slower side. Prepare for a bustling environment filled with the enticing scents of grilled meat and spice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! The selection of dishes is great, and everything we ordered was bursting with flavor. The kimchi pancakes were crispy, and the fire chicken with cheese was a highlight.

" Everything about Dancen is simply amazing! From the moment you step in, you're transported to a K-Pop wonderland. The fire chicken is to die for—it's got just the right amount of kick. Service was friendly, though they seemed a bit busy at times. I can't recommend it enough, especially for a casual night with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Dancen and I was quite pleased! The atmosphere is lively and fun. We tried multiple dishes, including the spicy pork skins and sweet marinated ribs. They were seasoned well and tasted fresh. The only downside was the wait time was longer than I expected, but that’s to be anticipated at a popular spot. I will definitely be back!
