Crudo and wings for small plates! Skip the Galbi.

You have to get the wings.

We had been wanting to try this place for a while. Sadly it did not live up to the hype. We sat and waited for our server for 10 min and then another 10 min for our drinks. The 6 oysters for $24 weren't that good, with an overpowering sweet sauce already on top. The cocktails were only decent and $16 each. The bouillabaisse ($36) was terrible. The sauce had zero flavor and zero spice. It didn't even taste like the seafood. It was as if someone poured a glass of water into it right as they brought it to the table. But no one ever asked how anything was, and we just sat there waiting for it all to be over. $200 later and we are still hungry. Stay away.

Amazing food and service. A must to revisit next time we are here!

Fantastic dinner out! Would recommend for any occasion. We ordered cocktails, the wings, bibimbap, and beignets. Prices are fair, reservation was booked in advance although walk in seemed possible.

Delicious food, a tad overpriced for portions sizes. But everything tasted great! Appetizers: dumplings, rice cakes, chicken wings. All really small, not much to share. Entrees: bulgogi, duck breast were good. Desserts: chocolate cake, crème brûlée were amazing. Their heated outdoor seating is as good as can be - overhead heater in an almost-fully enclosed wooden shed. Just remember to shut the door.

excellent cozy restaurant serving seafood-focused korean dishes. the dressed oysters (both raw and roasted) and the hwe dup bop were particular highlights for us!

Hit and misses at this place. The wings, the watercress salad and the braised mackerel were all excellent. The salad especially was amazing. I want the recipe!! The mackerel was really tasty as well. It took me back to Korea for sure. The bulgogi was solid but I wanted it a bit more grilled, ideally over charcoals, to have more flavor. The bouillabaisse was ok but simply didn’t go well with the rest of the menu. The dukboki with the cheese was interesting but I personally wouldn’t order it again.This place, with its nice ambiance and good service, has promise. I plan to go back and try other dishes.

Great food, small cabins for each party were so cozy and nice. Staff was friendly and just attentive enough. Make a reservation bc it was busy!Recommendations:Appetizer - have dumplings and japchae, skip fundidoMain - bulgogi and beef bimbimbap were amazingCocktails - saint rose, cranky pants

this place lives up to the hype. we had dinner outside on a cold evening, the heater above our table was enough to keep up comfortable. the service was excellent, just the right attention without being invasive. we had grilled oysters and chicken wings for appetizers, which were both very tasty. for dinner we had Korean squid and bouillabaisse, both were delicious. the squid has a fair amount of heat, just the right amount but not for the faint of heart. the serving sizes are plentiful so we didn't have desert. hard to get a reservation but worth the wait.
