    Service is friendly and although the wheel is a bit gimmicky it makes for some great group fun. Landed on "one free spin" which resulted in another round

    Korean bar with a more "hip" or nighttime vibe - fun for a night out x hankering for Korean food x "going out" atmosphere.

    Make a reservation to spin the wheel of free stuff. Also, there's a hidden speakeasy, but I won't tell you where. ;)

    The spicy pork tacos are very good. Comes w/ fries but be careful they put some truffle oil on them. Gross. Everything else was great.

    This is the Hogwarts of Korean restaurants. Secret doors, moving paintings, wheels of fortune. It's great.
