What People Say

Reviewers rave about the variety of Korean BBQ options and the quality of the sushi, with many calling it some of the best in the city. The bulgogi and spicy pork belly are fan favorites, and guests love the attentive service and stylish interior. Others highlight the large portions and fair pricing, especially for a downtown location. It’s also frequently praised for being a fun place to gather with friends before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that when the restaurant is full, grill smoke can build up a bit, so it’s best to dress casually or skip your most concert-ready outfit. A few diners noted that it can get busy on weekends, so reservations or an early arrival are recommended if you're on a tight schedule.
