    Ensure you try the wings, everyone bangs on about them but worth a try!

    Menu seems to be tricky for non locals so read carefully so you understand the portion size you are ordering.

    It's like a slightly refined version of Momofuku uptown. Not so big on the veggie sushi but everything else was well worth it

    Portions are small and meant to be shared, tapas style-only, and instead of sangria accompany it with soju or sake. Read more

    Very nice design, but not authentic Korean cuisine. Nevertheless the food was good; the meat was very tasty!

    Quirky and classic Korean dishes from Hooni Kim. The bulgogi burgers are a must-try.

    Would 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

    Excellent Korean tapas. Try both the traditional & modern takes on chicken wings. The pork belly sliders are also worth ordering.

    Excellent. As an enthusiastic carnivore, it's unusual for me to support ordering a second round of tofu as dessert. But it's justified here.

    The food is good, but you should either come with a small appetite or a large wallet. Tiny portions at incredibly high prices.

    Portions are small, but the bulgogi sliders and kimchi paella (w/ egg) are completely worth it, absolutely delicious.
