👍👍 This is the real deal. If you're looking for a tasty and authentic Korean fried chicken experience look no further.

👍👍 Omg! This place! Best Korean ribs I've had and also amazing glass noodles! Makes you feel like heaven after a late night party 🥳! Service was fantastic too. Sat and Friday nights open till 4am! Its my new go to place. Hits the spot 👌

👍👍 Probably one of my favorite places to get raw marinated crabs here in the City. I do think there needs to be a better balance between the spiciness and the flavors of crab meat, but it was still good, messy experience haha. Definitely recommend their wings as well! I don't think there are many Chin...

😠 WE WERE SHARING A STEAK SANDWICH AND THIS MAN REFUSED TO CUT IT IN HALF FOR US! Further bulling me with a chest thrust. With? The meat on the sandwich itself was sparingly thin and extremely salty. I'm guessing this couple was in a bad mood? unless this is normally how they serve their customers. I'...

👍 This place was great to really treat yourself one night! Came with a group of 4 and enjoyed the ambiance as soon as we walked in. Good: - Really liked the cucumbers they gave for free in the beginning and usually I'm not a fan of tomato but I was a fan of the one they gave. - Liked the kimchi fried...
