Staff was super friendly & food was on point.
I came there before but did not leave with good impressed of the service, came back this time & the experience is totally different. Cocktails are amazing too.
Si je pouvais mettre plus que 5 étoiles, je le ferais.
La qualité du service & de la nourriture ne sont pas à refaire!
Le personnel est très chaleureux & rendent l'expérience client mémorable. Sans parler de la fraîcheur & la richesse en saveurs des plats.

I went there last year but I've been meaning to leave a review.
As someone who has lived for a long time in Korea, I was curious about the fusion concept of it all. Well, I was very disappointed. The food is bland. Korean food has such strong flavors, it was a let down.
The fish was, of course, very fresh, so no complaints there. The Kim chi Caesar salad was a joke, none of it reminded me of Kim chi, I guess they called it that because they used cabbage?
Like many others said, the portions are small, so eat beforehand. Finally, when my friend & I left, we both said'yeah, I'm never going back there'.
Notre troisième visite dans ce beau petit restaurant décontracté qui ne fait aucun compromis sur le raffinement de sa cuisine. Une belle fusion créative, à la coréenne, qui met en valeur les talents du chef. Le service sympathique & accueillant ajoute à l'expérience. Une valeur sûre pour un rendez-vous charmant ou pour une sortie entre amies. Adopté pour nous!
Blown away by the delicious & innovative take on Korean cuisine- everything was good, & the fried jumbo oysters were insane. Service & ambience was top. Perfect for group events, we were so well taken care of. Will definitely be coming back!

This restaurant was amazing!!! Every single dish we tried was delicious, though the group's favourites were the dumplings, shrimp boa buns, gnocchi, oysters & steak frites. The service was outstanding - we would definitely go back!
Fresh clean bright flavors. The oysters (raw or fried) are amazing. The crudo is so perfect. The team cares about what they do & it shows. One of the best places I've ever eaten in MTL.

Belle surprise ce petit restaurant coréen sur la rue Notre-Dame ! Les plats étaient non seulement délicieux, mais aussi très bien apprêtés, avec une belle attention aux détails tant dans les saveurs que dans la présentation.
Le service était impeccable : chaleureux & attentionné. On se sent tout de suite bien accueilli.
Une adresse à garder précieusement - & surtout à partager !
Jamais déçu quand je vais y manger. Je prends du poisson ou des fruits de mer à chaque fois. Huîtres, crudo ou pieuvre. Après j'explore, la carte évolue régulièrement. Service rapide & courtois. Un peu dispendieux mais entièrement justifié.
The food & atmosphere are amazing but the star of the show was the service…Chanelle was everything we could ever want & more!! She made our night so fun & was a pleasure to meet. Would go back just to see her ❤?
