Reviews
- cheeky_perillaMy friend had been telling me to try this place forever, said the Korean-style marinated crab and BBQ were amazing, so we finally went. Honestly, it did not disappoint. The marinated crab was so good — the meat was super fresh and tender, and the sauce was this perfect sweet-spicy thing, mixed into rice it was incredible. Also gotta recommend the BBQ, the beef short rib was cooked just right, crispy outside and juicy inside. The staff was really sweet too, they grilled the meat for us so we just got to sit there and eat, which was honestly amazing. The whole place was clean and had a nice vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends. Left super happy and full.
