General Notes

---

Excellent restaurant serving Korean comfort food. When I first went in 2019, it was without a question one of the best experiences I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. In the last couple of years, upscale Korean has become one of the most popular archetypes of restaurant in NYC, and it has lost a bit of its luster. But the food is still executed incredibly well, and eating here was one of the more satisfying restaurant experiences that I've had. Everything about the interior is also really aesthetic; especially their menu! Would absolutely recommend giving this place a try.

Dishes Tasted

• ★☆☆☆ Korean Fried Chicken -- boneless Korean fried chicken with radish pickle and sweet / sour sauce. Not my favorite KFC; a little overcooked / not as tender + juicy as I would have liked.
• ★★★☆ Fried Cod -- fried cod with maesaengi tartar sauce. Fried well, good flavor
• ★★★☆ Budae Jigae -- three kinds of ham, rice cake, ramen, beans, vegetables, & cheese in veggie broth. Very delicious, prepared well.
• ★★★★ Korean Pot -- Rice cake, fish cake, noodles, beef, sausages, assorted seafood and vegetables in spicy fish broth. The broth is absolutely amazing and flavorful. The individual components are not super noteworthy, but the broth really brings everything together beautifully. Perfect level of spiciness as well.
• ★★★☆ Slow Cooked Pork Belly -- With kimchi, berry wine sauce, jalapeno soybean paste, assorted pickles and bossam kimchi. The pork was really flavorful, and the sauces paired really well with it. Fairly tender, but could maybe be slightly more tender. Regardless, my soul is fattened, as promised.
• ★★★★ Kimchi Pancake -- Topped with a soft-poached egg. Amazing texture - crispy with a chewier interior. The flavor was incredible - the pancake was buttery and the poached egg added a nice smooth richness, balanced out by a nice zesty flavor of the kimchi.
