Simon SteadmanFebruary 23, 2017Ensure you try the wings, everyone bangs on about them but worth a try!
Nicholas TopolinskiMarch 9, 2017Get the garlic chicken wings, pork belly sliders and kimchi fried rice! Soooo good
JD MaloneSeptember 10, 2017Menu seems to be tricky for non locals so read carefully so you understand the portion size you are ordering.
AmateurConciergeOctober 16, 2014It's like a slightly refined version of Momofuku uptown. Not so big on the veggie sushi but everything else was well worth it
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Portions are small and meant to be shared, tapas style-only, and instead of sangria accompany it with soju or sake.

Melody KohOctober 27, 2012Must order: fries tofu and bulgogi sliders. Very good: spicy whelk salad, KFC Korean fried chicken.
KarishmaNovember 24, 2012Honestly the most amazing food I've ever had. Can't go wrong with any dish, so choose point and choose!
Valentina GregoliApril 17, 2017Very nice design, but not authentic Korean cuisine. Nevertheless the food was good; the meat was very tasty!
Lawrence LenihanJanuary 12, 2012Went for lunch. Buggogi sliders were amazing. Loved hamachi salad. Terrific pot stickers. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
CompassMay 15, 2014Quirky and classic Korean dishes from Hooni Kim. The bulgogi burgers are a must-try.
Nathan KamMay 30, 2012One of my favorite stops in the city. Modern Korean fare served here in a lively setting. Food is incredible.
Johan MattssonSeptember 29, 2015I tried the whelk salad, really spicy! The girl at the bar was really nice :)
Luberth MoreraFebruary 4, 2015Just do not over-think it! Go for the ribs and the fried rice... Great place!
alex vbAugust 1, 2012Would have loved to eat here. Have heard great things from others. Went on a Tues & was told a party of one couldn't sit at 1 of 20 open communal seats but must squeeze in @ crowded bar. Won't be back
Find. Eat. Drink.April 7, 2011Excellent Korean tapas. Try both the traditional & modern takes on chicken wings. The pork belly sliders are also worth ordering.
Jessica WeissMay 13, 2012The Bul Go Gi sliders and tofu with ginger and scallions are amazing! Also the cocktails!
Janelle J.February 2, 2013Bulgogi beef sliders are amazing. Tofu with scallion and bossam is nice too
Luis AguilarFebruary 4, 2015Get the ribs, can't go wrong with it. Tastiest experience I've ever had.
This place is amazing! Do not leave without trying the pork belly sliders.
Sean (pronounced seen) was all that and more! Really lived up to the hype. More so the food is PHENOMENAL!! You must come here!!!- Alex AurittApril 12, 2011Excellent. As an enthusiastic carnivore, it's unusual for me to support ordering a second round of tofu as dessert. But it's justified here.
Christine ArboledaJanuary 14, 2016Good cocktails black cod is amazing melts in the mouth and flakey.
Matt KDecember 5, 2012Absolutely worthwhile waiting! Just ask bartender for recommendations, everything is simply delicious
Katy NAugust 11, 2012Steak tartare, pork belly and sable fish just KILLED it.. you will be sorry if you didn't try..
EaterOctober 4, 2011It's fast without being hurried, delicious without being expensive. Just be ready for crowds. [Eater 38 Member]
Laura NettleyOctober 5, 2012Delicious Korean tapas - recommend the pork belly sliders and the yellowtail sashimi.
Amy WangJune 14, 2012Portions actually pretty sizeable! Bosam and sable fish so GOOD! Soju sangria v light.
Vivian VoMarch 1, 2015They no longer have the paella :( but the kimchi bacon fried rice was very unique & delicious.b
Thomas PajorSeptember 11, 2015The food is good, but you should either come with a small appetite or a large wallet. Tiny portions at incredibly high prices.
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨April 22, 2012Delicious and very flavorful Korean dishes. And yes, must definitely try the sliders!
Shindy COctober 5, 2013A very special, small place with fantastic double-sided modern or more homestyle food options.
matthew andersonApril 16, 2012Don't miss out on the sliders. They are out of this world, especially the pork.
reza setiawan رضا ستياوانDecember 27, 2010Best of the best Korean food! Simply delish & you will scream for more!
Erica ChoiMarch 11, 2011Portions are small, but the bulgogi sliders and kimchi paella (w/ egg) are completely worth it, absolutely delicious.
