The Scene – Minimal-chic environs with an inset stone wall and mirrors are divided by a dining bar with built-in grills. Tables behind this bar pile patrons on top of each other; staff efforts to serve over the low divider emphasize the awkwardness. At peak times, smoke from the "smokeless" grills fills the room. Several dishes may sit 'til your meal ends--when the check is plunked down unceremoniously with sticks of gum (translation: no dessert).

Fabulous, affordable, Korean food in a relaxed yet clean and cool atmosphere
by NotSoFluffy
I took a friend after I was told I "had to go". I have never been big on Asian cuisine, but this menu is amazing. The Kimchee and Vegetable pancakes are a must have, as well as the beef Bulgogi!! I ordered WAY too much, but took it home and reheated it the next day and it was great.
The service was impeccable and I appreciate that the whole place is very very clean. Lovely atmosphere and the parking was not bad. We stayed quite a long time, but I never felt that they wanted to get the table "turned", and the waiter kept coming by to check but never interrupted the conversation. Love that!
There isn't anyone I would not send to this restaurant, as you can go as hot or mild as you like, and there are dishes that are good for timid eaters as well as the adventurous ones. Can't wait to go back.
