Anson Wang: Can't go wrong here. Stand outs include truffle mac n cheese, crispy chicken, mapo tofu, kimchi paella
Jess Naldo: Let's be real: You came here for the adult "Capri Sun," but food, you can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Faves are the avocado, tacos, kimchi paella, soft shell crab and the steak. So, everything.
Jess L: Edamame dumplings were insanely good. Avocado starter (fresh, good flavor), kimchi paella, mapo tofu (spicy for sure) were all delicious. Service was very friendly, accommodating, and compassionate

John Saeyong Ra: Pretty authentic Korean style tofu. The best (and probably the only) place for kimchi biji in NYC. I like the small plate of fish you get always with banchan. They also make rice in stone bowl.
Chenyu: Amazing tofu stew at reasonable price for dinner - lots of delicious appetizers (like kimchi kale, raddish, dried fish, seaweed) start w barley tea, soybean paste and ended w ginger/date tea!
Prerna Talreja: Ask for a second round of the appetizers they serve-dried fish, seaweed, kimchi etc- so good! Tofu vegetable stew was good

Jin K: Crab cake and kimchi cream are fab!!!! Their food is great!!!
Anastasiia ....: Ramen would not be the first choice for this place. Kimchi udon was very good as well as short rib. The crab balls was very creamy inside. But i still love this place and will be back for sure!
Jennifer Orr: Everything we ordered was really tasty and flavorful, from the kiwi cocktail to the kimchi creamy udon, tuna tataki, corn skewer and sushi rolls. Would definitely return and try more!
