Super restaurant! Excellente cuisine, bien qu'un peu copieuse, on a adoré notre soirée au restaurant. Le service était irréprochable, le serveur pensait tellement à nous que je me suis senti très spécial. Les serveurs étaient toujours là pour débarrasser nos plats & pour savoir si tout était bien. L'ambiance est très cool dans ce petit restaurant de quelques places. Super musique coréenne, je suis maintenant fan. Bref, l'endroit idéal pour être entre quelques amis!

This is a hidden gem for great Korean/ Japanese fusion. Service is super pleasant & very efficient. Just note that it's a small place so reservations are a must!!

The food is great, but the service is below-average at best. No one smiles, & they ask for 18% tip minimum.
