I had a great time here! I've never been to Korea but was told the vibe is quite similar. We sat outside under the tents and they had heat lamps. Food comes in big portions so be aware when u order; though, u can take them home if u don't finish them. Smoking is allowed in the patio. Service was good, no complaints. Super busy on weekends. Street parking.
Great place to enjoy Korean dishes and drinks while watching the big games on their giant screen. The covered outdoor setting is great for any weather.
Food was phenomenal and service was awesome. They have a galore of drinks and traditional and modern take on Korean food. They make the food right on the spot so it may take a few minutes but it's definitely fresh. So flavorful even if you don't drink I highly recommend this spot for the dishes and finger foods. Cheers to those who do drink. The guy who served us was really nice and attentive to our requests.
Always the place to get lit!! If you guys have never been there, go there now!!!!!!!! They have soju plus beers, just not hard liquor. Their good are pretty great too, which is a plus! Outside area is the smoking area and inside in non-smoking.
The hosts and servers were nice, cool even. It's a great place to hangout, converse, and the vibe? It's definitely a place for like minded people just wanting to have a fun night out, drinking, eating whatever salty/spicy or oily/crispy/savory dish they have. A must-go experience and it reminds me of the authentic red tents in Korea where the locals drink towards the after hours. We will be back!
What a super happy place! Great for a spontaneous meal with cool friends.
Late night gastropub. Bring your Korean friends and your non-Korean friends. The menu says to be respectful to women. Get the Lunch Box! It’s like bimbimbap, but in a metal tin box where you break it up with your spoon, then cover it back up and shake it really hard until it mixes well. So damn good!
Young vibes for late night drinking. Great for large groups or a birthday party maybe. We ordered the rice cakes, small intestines, chicken wings. I don’t think this place is known for food, nor do I recommend the food - I think it’s just to give yourself some sustenance as you keep drinking because even though the place isn’t that ‘nice’, it’s outdoor seating and vibes in crowd is what makes his place a good spot to party. But keep in mind it’s young 20’s.
