Jenna Odett Laskin

Some excellent dishes (cucumber with scallop , tartare , squid , pork jowl ), easy sharing menu, but oddly unfinished decor. $36 for 3 dishes. Good Korean tapas .

Bin Yang

$36 for 3 items off the menu . What a bang for your buck! The big standouts are the pork jowl and sunchoke . Surprisingly filling but you'll still have space for desserts . All cocktails include soju !

David Zhang

So many great dishes. The eggplant , tartare , mackeral, chicken , pork jowel are all great. Mix the egg (+truffle ) and corn in with the seasonal rice and thank me later!

Kiwi Wang

Such interesting bright flavors! Corn and egg were just as good as expectedz. The star was the pork jowl and the surprise of the night was the chicken with spicy peanut butter . SO crispy- mind blown!

jeffrey arnold

Awesome. Modernized Korean - a play on banchan - $36 for 3 courses. Everything was great, highlights: brisket , tartar , corn , clam . Nice wines by the glass.

J L

Terrific addition to the neighborhood . The Korean tapas were all delicious w/ scallop , little neck clam , egg , mackerel , pork jowl , and seasonal rice as stand outs. Too bad they don't serve makgeolli .

Kay Teo

Get the granita . Burrata and cinnamon granita sounds weird but excellent combo of flavors and textures: sweet, tart , creamy, crunchy

Marc Schneeberger

We did the best thing someone can do there if in a big group! Get every single dish in the menu and enjoy! Great service, atmosphere and food. Drink menu can be improved!

Alexandre Munhoz

Outstanding service (comparable to pre covid times) and fine food. The tasting menu started really well (dubu mousse & salmon ) but it went down hill in the last courses. Deserts were embarrassing.

Amber Vittoria

The entire menu is incredible. It's $36 for 3 dishes and amazing rice . The eggplant is the best.

Ashley Chan

Expect a fun dinner with a variety of small, pretty and creative dishes in an industrial environment. Definitely not your typical Korean fare, but I much preferred this to any restaurant in KTown.

Ernesto Gutierrez

Korean tapas with a modern twist. Each tapa is packed with flavor on every bite. 3 course fixed priced meal at $39. Their specialty rice of the day is worth the extra 2 dollars.

Xinyan Fang

Chawanmushi with crispy quinoa and sea urchin is amazing! The chef is creative with the mix of ingredients and presentation. Great discovery!

F. Bastard

Modern, nuanced Korean food in dainty portions. Excellent value for the quality of the cooking. The grey concrete decor may be too minimal for some: the place is reminiscent of a parking garage .

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Excellent food. Menu changes frequently. And I love the restaurant design. Super modern. Def will come back

Alex Robertson

excellent meal. loved the octopus , fried chicken ($21 add-on), sunchokes , the burrata on the radicchio, lotus root , et al.

Lily

NYT ** (2017): "Lotus root ; black sea bass ; tartare ; corn ; sunchoke ; octopus ; mackerel ; pork jowl ; panna cotta ; sujeonggwa granita ."

Peggy Li

Get the fried chicken—it’s worth the add-on price and enough for 2-3 people to share. The octopus and pork belly were great; chrysanthemum was good; cod was so-so.

AmateurConcierge

Great Korean small plates : $36/person is a good deal for the quality. Best dishes: corn , fried chicken , octopus , pumpkin tart

Ryan

Cucumber , Littleneck Clam , Seasonal Rice 🙌

Eddie P

New Korean... Not sure if it's actually really all that Korean but it's really good! The small dishes don't look too big but they'll fill you up. Menu is always changing.

Rachel L

Fantastic meal. Didn’t have a favorite dish because everything was delish. Beef Tartare , salmon , sunchokes and octopus were standouts

Adela Mou

Go with 6 people and you can order the whole menu!

Anissa

Amazing ambiance for the price point! Personal faves include the tartare , sunchoke , and octopus !

Kim Pham

Stop everything you're doing and eat here. Don't sleep on: the corn , steamed egg + uni, pork , and seasoned rice .

Shashi Kapadia

Mackerel was very good. Sunchoke was standout. If you are vegetarian , I recommend getting 3 sunchoke dishes. It's worth it.

Jonathan L

Finish the meal off with the Sujeonggwa Granita and a Corn Silk tea

Ebee D

Super yummy and the 6 plates for $36 is a great deal. It may not seem like a lot of food, but it is! Soju Drinks are just ok. Grüener wine option was good.

Micah Chiles

Every dish hit a high bar , but the two standouts were the sunchokes and littleneck clams

Alex Elias

Get the sunchokes , broccoli rabe , steak tartare , and most important the peanut butter chicken !!!!!!

Ryan Matzner

Go for the $2 upgrade from white to seaweed rice ! Fried chicken and corn dishes were standouts.

EM H.

Unique and delicious. Best to go with a small group to try multiple dishes.

Sarah Oak

Lotus root , fried chicken with peanut sauce , and seaweed rice without hesitation!

Joshua Boggs

Awesome and unique food in an industrial space. $42 for 3 dishes.

Emily K.

Familiar Korean flavors interpreted in innovative ways. Sleeper hit: the honey panna cotta .

Susan Lai

Fried chicken is a must! Squash , Halibut , Pork collar are a must.

Karla Donjuan

Espectacular! Great match between korean and everything else

Jaim

Leek , little neck clam , tartare , egg with uni, sunchoke , fried chicken

EM H.

Lotus root , sweet potato , and egg 😋 but stick to white rice to not distract from flavors of the dishes

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Beautiful space, friendly service and interesting takes on Korean small plates . The egg uni dish is a must. Also, loved the tartare . Affordable and great for a catch up dinner or date.

Chris L

Speedy and pleasant — desserts are my faves here!

Tiffany Wong

beautiful, interesting dishes but are hit/miss in terms of flavor payoff

R

Heavenly Asian fusion dishes. Sunchoke is definitely must order!

Alyssa B.

It was ok. It wasn’t terrible, just underwhelming. Beautiful plating but the taste for 50/50 of dishes underdelivers. The cod particularly was disappointing.

Ryan Ambs

It sounds crazy but the corn is the best part. Must order

Dan Pak

Pear sangria is worth the headache it'll inevitably give you.

P. D.

Home run. And so well priced. I love it.

Martin

Sunchokes w/ Oyster mushroom , Black Truffle , Orange

Rachel B

More affordable sister restaurant of pre-fixe Atomix

Amazing menu which sets my expectation high. The actual food is okay but the egg is too sweet for my taste.
