    Vegetarians who get teary eyed thinking of forgoing the kimchi, take note! There are several varieties here that nix the fish sauce.

    Honestly the most amazing food I've ever had. Can't go wrong with any dish, so choose point and choose!

    Incredible poached sablefish! Don't be surprised if it comes out last because it's super savory. Love!

    The carafe of chum churum soju is a great deal. And don't skip whatever pork belly special they've got going on--always delish!

    A very special, small place with fantastic double-sided modern or more homestyle food options.

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

    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.
