    The place is clean and you don’t feel any smoke and meat burning smell around the restaurant. The service is good, and the meat is great. As specially the prime rib eye and short ribs . It is worth to have dinner there.

    Great food. Good service. A bit on the loud side which made it difficult for my hard of hearing dad (they’re unable to turn down the music), but we all still enjoyed dinner.

    I was a little disappointed with the Japchae appetizer. There wasn't much vegetables in it. I'm glad we had a private room and the service was good. Others in my group enjoyed their entrees, although they were a bit pricy.
