Cool Asian fusion restaurant. The server was friendly & patient with our group of seven who had many questions.
The grilled octopus & fresh oysters were delicious - our favorite dishes of the night. The paella was our least favorite: a little mushy & bland. The desserts were amazing, as were the cocktails & mocktails. Highly recommend for the ambience & flavors.
Went on a Friday night. We had some exceptional good value dishes like the eggplant, the crudo & the fried chicken, all made with incredibly fresh ingredients! Best kimchi I ever had & the rice is the purple kind! Felt indulgent even though the food is really healthy when you think of it lol. I really enjoyed the watermelon cocktail tart, sweet & original. Great modern decor with plants everywhere & lots of light. The ambiance was on the loud side, but it was a Friday night. I am very happy that this new restaurant is so popular, they deserve it. That said, while our server was great service was slow, but I attribute that to the restaurant needing to up their wait staff game on those busy nights. Great discovery, will likely be back !
Everything was excellent.
The service was great & the food was amazing.
We've got to try one of their new recipes (crab cake) & it was delicious.
The cocktails were good too.
The vibe was also great.
I recommend it.
Incredible food with generous portions, friendly staff & great atmosphere. Perfect for a date or taking friends from out of town, their cocktails & prices are great!
Our group of 5 had the pleasure of dining here the other day to celebrate a birthday & a graduation.
Everything was perfect: the cozy cute atmosphere, Chanelle's friendly & attentive service, & the tasty dishes with some surprising & delicious spices & flavours! We tried the fresh fish with kimchi, the seafood paella, the duck, & the octopus. The oysters & dumpling appetizers were also out of this world, so was the cocktail! Highly recommend, we found our new neighbourhood gem 💗
First & foremost thank you Chanel (i think that's how it's spelled) for the amazing & friendly service!
I highly recommend everything on the menu to be honest. So my review is not helpful. But if I must choose, my personal favourite is the galbi! If anyone likes fruity & strong cocktails, the Gringo in Korea is amazinnnngggg!
Tout était superbe! Les huîtres chaque fois que nous venons, le plat d'asperges délicieux, la pieuvre, le risotto aux fruits de mer! Divin..Cocktails tropicaux pour l'été & très bon verre de bulles! Le service était également très attentionné. Atmosphère relaxe, sans prétention, très agréable!
