This upscale Korean steakhouse, conceptualized by a Michelin-starred chef, offers a luxurious dining experience with a focus on high-quality A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef.

Don't miss the exquisite Black and White Mousse for dessert.
The cuisine is a fusion of Korean and steakhouse, specializing in high-quality cuts of beef, particularly A5 Japanese Wagyu. Popular dishes include the A5 Wagyu Caviar Katsu Sando, Gui Cut Prime Rib, and various flavorful sides like Kimchi Wagyu Fried Rice. Desserts, such as the Black and White Mousse, also receive high marks. While many dishes are lauded, one review found the fusion sauces to be unsuccessful.

Customers generally have a positive sentiment towards the restaurant, praising the quality of the Wagyu beef, the unique Korean-fusion dishes, and the overall upscale dining experience. Some reviews note specific dishes as exceptional, while others find the fusion concept intriguing but occasionally inconsistent.
Important Note
One review found that while the concept of Korean-fusion steakhouse is interesting, the execution of the fusion sauces was unsuccessful and the ambiance was lacking. Another review mentioned that the brioche bread and butter, while delicious, came with a $15 price tag.
