Important Note
Some diners find the prix fixe menu to be of questionable value. The restaurant has a shoe-off policy, and some dishes, like the kimchi rice hot stone bowl, can be challenging due to their extreme heat. It is also a vegetarian establishment, so not suitable for those seeking meat-centric Korean BBQ.
