Reviews
- dedicated_owlThe decor is really cozy and super photogenic, loved the vibe. We got a group deal for two and honestly ate till we were stuffed, the pork belly slices were huge and the perilla牛肉 was my first time trying it, kinda random but it was way better than I expected. Service was on point too, someone always came when we called and they swapped out the grill pretty often. Great value, just a little over 100 and we were full, had to pack up the leftovers. It's right on a main intersection and super close to the subway, really easy to get to. Would definitely come back!
