Caitlin WilliamsOctober 13, 2012The food is amazing, and check out the new Korean Pear cocktail. Delish!
Amy WangJune 14, 2012Portions actually pretty sizeable! Bosam and sable fish so GOOD! Soju sangria v light.
Wow! Very good. Bulgogi sliders, skirt steak Korean BBQ style, and butternut squash congee are absolutely amazing
Yuriy PryadkoSeptember 17, 2013These guys practice magic. No other explanation for how good the kitchen actually is.
Erica ChoiMarch 11, 2011Portions are small, but the bulgogi sliders and kimchi paella (w/ egg) are completely worth it, absolutely delicious.
alex vbAugust 1, 2012Would have loved to eat here. Have heard great things from others. Went on a Tues & was told a party of one couldn't sit at 1 of 20 open communal seats but must squeeze in @ crowded bar. Won't be back
Thomas PajorSeptember 11, 2015The food is good, but you should either come with a small appetite or a large wallet. Tiny portions at incredibly high prices.
Sean is one of the best bartenders I ever had the privilege to meet in NYC! This guy is no joke. I love this place.
Vivian VoMarch 1, 2015They no longer have the paella :( but the kimchi bacon fried rice was very unique & delicious.b
matthew andersonApril 16, 2012Don't miss out on the sliders. They are out of this world, especially the pork.
schneidermike schneidermikeMay 25, 2011Pork belly sliders FTW!!! "Luke, I am your father"-level awesome
Steven BirkelandJune 13, 2012Try the Steak Tartare With Quail Egg - Thought I was going to miss the mustard. Not so much!!!
Love this place. Get the spicy pork belly Dup Bop for lunch.
Sudhir KandulaJanuary 19, 2012Had a great dinner w/ Steph,.,, great pancake & sliders!!! Need to eat more!! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Aaron FishmanAugust 12, 2013The wait was way too long. It took 90 minutes when it was only supposed to take 30 minutes. Beware, you are required to purchase 2 tapas per person to eat here. This was a ridiculous requirement.
James GashMarch 9, 2013Delicious but small & pricey. People were staring at us like vultures waiting for us to finish.
- schneidermike schneidermikeMay 25, 2011Try the Pork Belly Sliders - These are not to be missed. Warning: one is enough! So rich.
Nathan KamMay 30, 2012They don't take reservations here, so come early. Once in, get the spicy wings.
Ronak DayaAugust 17, 2014Amazing food and delicious cocktails. Mix it up and order a variety of 4-5 dishes between 2. The "KFC" chicken and spicy cod roe pasta are a must-try!

"It's so simple; dumplings, kimchi, pork and rice in the most delicate broth. Chili paste. It's somehow the best dinner I've eaten all year. 😻"

"Yummy Korean bar food. Goes well with beer and soju. Good service and atmosphere as well."
Ryan - 8.3
"Spicy fries. The yuzu rice wine was also a favorite for the drinks, which I didn't expect."
