"We found them by chance , and it was the best decision ever ! Love the New Yorker style concept they have for the restaurant, as it gives it a nice classy vibe. Food 10/10 : we had tteokbokki ( which was spicy but a good type of spicy) , bulgogi (personal fave), and Dakgangjeong( lil kick to it ). The service was great as well, they were very attentive and friendly. Best believe we’ll be going back !!!!!"

"I would give this place 12 stars if I could! The food is off the hook! The service is excellent and so friendly. They welcome you at the door with a smile. We got the sweet chicken 10/10 bulgogi beef 10/10 spicy pork ramen 10/10 rice dumplings 10/10. The menu is short and sweet. The only improvement I would suggest is that it would be nice if they had any type of cushion on the seats."

"Five stars immediately for the whole staff greeting us at the door, and not like normal servers who hate their lives and don't want some bro GM yelling at them if they don't. We really felt welcomed. Five stars for the insanely good food. I mean...it's simply perfect. We had the kimchi pancakes, dumplings, fried chicken and spicy pork. 10/10 everything. The soju was really good for our first foray, too! I've never felt this at home at a restaurant. Great experience! Edit: 10 stars. Got bumped on our engagement anniversary by an uptown restaurant, and these guys really made our night super awesome. They gave us a dessert and that's way above and beyond."

"My partner and I were so excited to try this place out and they did not disappoint! From the beginning, the staff were welcoming and happy to share their favs on the menu. When the food came out, everything was delicious but the Kalbi Steak was to die for- it was perfectly cooked and juicy. We got yummy drinks (Black Pink and Maxim NO. 16 + a bottle of makkeoli). The staff were kind enough to treat us to some dumplings and a new drink they are preparing for their menu! It was an 11/10 experience and we will definitely be coming back again~~☆"

"We checked out this new Korean bar-restaurant over the weekend...and all I can say is, WOW. The foods were absolutely stellar (chef-inspired at that!)! Completely authentic Korean, but with a modern twist. We ordered several appetizers and mains...and ALL were delicious! Think if I had to choose 1 item that impressed me more than the other, it had to be their ANJU Pajeon...a unique version of the traditional Korean Seafood Pancake (theirs were actually Korean Seafood Waffles!). Aside from the foods, the service was also stellar. This place definitely joins some of the best Korean restaurants, like MOA and Bibim, in the QC. As a Korean, I am so thrilled that Korean foods are finally making its mark in Charlotte. Although already big/popular in the bigger metro cities for YEARS, Korean foods stayed 'underground' for so long in the deep South. Anyway, am SO glad there's another stellar Korean restaurant in this city!"
