" Finally tried the grilled pork and bean sprout dish that everyone raves about, and it lived up to expectations! Fresh ingredients and well-cooked food make for an enjoyable experience. It's slightly pricey but so worth it for the flavor. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great weekend spot for lunch with friends! We ordered family-style dishes, and the quantity was more than enough. Each dish kept true to its Korean roots, and the server made excellent recommendations. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical about dining here due to mixed reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a shot! The atmosphere felt friendly, and although the service staff were busy, they did their best to keep up. The food was tasty enough to win me over. Will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a cozy spot for a late-night dinner! The ambiance is perfect for unwinding after a long day. I loved the spicy squid dish. It's a bit heavy for my stomach, but the flavors were amazing. I appreciated the attentive crew as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to share my experience at this hidden gem in the city. First, the decor gives off that vintage Seoul vibe, which I loved! The food? All I can say is it's made with love. The butter squid was a highlight for me with its tender texture and delightful smoky flavor. I enjoyed a few other dishes too, like the fried dumplings which were crispy and not overly greasy. However, I did find the service a bit rushed as it was busy lunchtime when I visited. Overall, this is a place that truly captures the essence of Korean dining, and I’ll definitely be returning with friends to explore more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here expecting a culinary masterpiece and I was somewhat disappointed. Yes, the food had its moments, like the kalbi jjim which was decent. However, some dishes felt like they were missing that authentic touch. The service was somewhat inattentive, especially given the crowd. I wouldn't rush back here, but it wasn’t entirely a bad experience either. " (*Curated Review*)

" So disappointed after hearing so many good things. The food felt generic and lacked real flavor. Not sure what part of it is supposed to be authentic. The service also felt off; the server seemed uninterested. Definitely won’t return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
