    Perfect place for lunch with a vegetarian friend (I'm not). All of our dishes were delicious, and the mole sauce was exceptional. Service was attentive and we appreciate not being rushed.

    The service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and even thoughtful. The food was very good, though a little more muted than we expected from a Korean meal, but possibly we should have ordered more spicy food. The atmosphere was pleasant. We would definitely go there again!

    My family (party of 6) had our Easter lunch here. We opted for the buffet. It did not disappoint as there were many options to choose from. Service was great. Our server was Manisha and she was extremely attentive to our party.
