    All of the appetizers we had were so good. The best dumplings I've had anywhere! Kim, the owner, is wonderful. She made us feel like we were in the company of friends. I could "hang out" here often.

    I'm here at least once a week. Japchae, bibimbap, market stew, tako Tuesday... You can't miss. My absolute favorite kimchi ever. It is definitely modern/progressive take on Korean. Fave for lunch.

    The dumplings and pork belly bibimbap were both fantastic. We also ordered the special dessert of the day, which were cherry-filled dumplings with a coconut sauce. Delicious!

    They have a great selection of gluten-free and vegetarian options on the menu which was great. Definitely try their seasonal veggie Mandu as well as their sesame greens. "Fresh and local" indeed!

    Pork belly lettuce wraps are fantastic! It's like thick cut tender bacon with a crispy edge. So good.

    Sorry Dink, but kimbap and spring roll are not alike. Kim means dried seaweed and bap is rice. It looks like roll sushi but the rice is usually seasoned with sesame oil and salt, not rice vinegar.

    I am surprised that this place gets such good reviews. I thought it was way overpriced and not enough selection. Won't go there again.
