Wings and galbi were fine, but wouldn’t go out of my way to get again

I really didn’t expect too much but because I didn’t expect too much and everything was beyond expectation.Love the cocktails and homemade banchan they serve there as well as top notch service. Love love.

It’s rare that you get better service than food and the food was delicious! We walked in and the hostess Annie immediately greeted us and even recognized that it was my husband’s birthday from our reservation and was so genuine and sweet. Our server Christian was attentive, fun and even interrupted by husband while he was pouring his water to pour water for myself and my friend. They also gave my husband a free cake for his birthday. We started off with the delicious pork dumplings as well as the spam musabi. My husband and I had the Biang Biang Noodles and our friend Anna had the Scallop Juk. The noodles had a nice kick and the flavors were delicious. The Scallop Juk has a good flavor but my friend didn’t realize the scallops were tiny and a bit salty. We will definitely be back!

hoy fuimos a comer y en el hielo de las bebidas tenía una cucaracha chiquita

Sprint here for a truly inventive brunch menu ? From breakfast bao, kimchi, cakes, to sandos, this menu truly has something to delight everyone at your table. Ordered the breakfast bao (pre-made, so, no subs), which was more a heavy snack, rather than sustainable, but the flavor profile was incredible. Added the doenjang soup, because I was still hungry, and enjoyed the comforting notes, and well seasoned execution. Coffee was dark roasted, and unique; kudos to their source choice. After a 20% tip, total came to $22. Saw the donut flight nearby and exercised some intense self control. One of the few menus I've seen offering a soufle cake. I'll definately be returning for both of those. Bar top seating, a few larger tables, floor to ceiling windows make for a beautifully open and sunny atmo, and outdoor covered tables are available as well. Service was good; attentive but not invasive. Standard downtown pay street parking which was challenging due to construction. 4 stars for portion v. price point, but, this maybe the new norm for downtown as the rebuild from the last two years continues.

We tried a bunch of small plates here and loved each of them! The spam musubi was really elevated and the bao burger was so fun!

Not as impressive as I had hoped. The service was wonderful and the dumplings and cocktails delicious! The rest of the food was just mediocre.

GREAT FOOD. ENJOY THE DOUGHNUTS

I am real Korean, and Bossam is just a thick bacon. $22 for just bacon and no meat is waste of money. I would rather go Beaverton. And how come customer pay for the banchan? It is side dish. It is so shamful to eat in this restaurant as I am Korean.

I really wanted to like this place. Like really! But part of the bao in the bao burger was straight raw. The beef patty, cheese, pickles, and onions were great! But the substantial piece of raw bao is a dealbreaker. We kindly let our waiter know so that hopefully no one else gets raw dough in their meal.The Korean fried chicken sandwich was mostly batter and less chicken. But the sandwich itself had great texture to it, but I also can’t recommend this sandwich.The omurice was great. Tasted excellent.I really wanted to like this place. I had high hopes for it. But raw dough is a cardinal sin in a restaurant.
