The new cocktails are delicious, especially Spicy Mandarin. We tried 10 dishes, all excellent! Favourites were the burrata, the dumplings, the galbi, the menbosha. We will be back!

La bouffe était vraiment succulente!!!! Tout était bon : crudo; pieuvre; toats de crevettes; riz frit; dumpling & pleurottes tempura. Le vin était bon aussi.
Seul bémol: musique un peu trop fort.

Cute new place in Saint Henri. While the waiter made a mistake in our order we were offered a drink on the house. all the dishes were good & nice portion to share. The oysters were very good & well seasoned. The calamari with sweet potato soup & the dumplings were my favourites !
J'y retourne régulièrement car je sais que tout va être parfait. Tous les plats que j'ai pris hier soir étaient délicieux les huîtres, dumplings, crudo & la soupe épicée aux fruits de mer. Service rapide & professionnel.L'ambiance est aussi agréable, pas trop bruyant, on peut parler. L'intensité de l'éclairage est aussi savamment dosée. Réservation conseillée.
The service was 💯 & the food was so good! Each dish was well thought out & full of flavours. Sit by the bar & watch the chef work. It's an art!
Also The dumplings are a must!
Food was delicious, but in very small quantity. You will need to order at least 4-6 plates for 2 people. Cocktails (Suwon Mule), dumplings, & Kalguksu were especially good. (We did not order kimchi fried rice just because we make them at home, but the dish smelled amazing at the restaurant.) Carpaccio was so-so. Cuisine-wise, it is more western than Korean.
We had a very good time. Very nice ambiance. We liked the open kitchen. Staff was friendly & efficient. Menu is interesting & some items were very good (oysters, dumplings, chicken, soup of the calamari), but our order of octopus was dry & very small, so quite disappointing given the price (we've seen another order of octopus come out after ours & it looked much much better) & the calamari were also dry (but the corn soup was excellent).
Nouveau coup de cœur. The moment we walked in I was greeted by my name. Natural wine list, a few open bottles to choose from. Oysters, dumplings, beef tartare were outstanding. Kimchi fried rice & fried chicken were also very satisfying. Food, atmosphere & service has me returning most definitely.
