3.5 stars. $19.99 all you can eat, Monday to Thursday. Service is a little slow. They only allow you to order 2 dishes at a time. They have no Kalbi, but have steak and brisket. Those were good. The pork belly and spicy pork they cook it inside the kitchen for you. I don't know why, but not bad. The chicken was only ok. They give you the sesame oil sauce and this hot sauce. That was so yummy. Comes with lettuce and the white noodle wraps. You can add on tofu soup for a price. The little side dishes were really good too. For the price it's not bad, but service is slow and they do…Read more 3.5 stars. $19.99 all you can eat, Monday to Thursday. Service is a little slow. They only allow you to order 2 dishes at a time.

Don't get the black raseberry soju! My friend and hubby were dying. It was horrible. I took one lick and was gagging. Yikes!

Friendly staff and great lunch service.  I had the hanger steak and truffle french fries.  I wanted to try the pulled pork sandwich but one dish was enough.  Quiet enough for a conversation.

Cocktails were good, but service wasn't that attentive. Would go back and have a seat at the bar instead of at one of the tables...OK

Salmon al Pastor tacos were awesome and the Mezcalito tamarind drink off the hook. Great idea, great service, amazing food!

Came here opening night with my boyfriend yesterday on 9/9/13 and had a positive dining experience!  We will definitely be back.  As one of the most anticipated restaurant openings in fall of 2013, it has the potential to be comparable to other great  New American/Californian Cuisine  restaurants in this city. As my boyfriend being a Chef who works and knows this industry VERY well, and being a food enthusiast at heart, we both combined have VERY high expectations when it comes to our dining experience.

As my boyfriend being a Chef who works and knows this industry VERY well, and being a food enthusiast at heart, we both combined have VERY high expectations when it comes to our dining experience.  

  The menu opening night started with lighter more refreshing dishes then moved into more savory options.  He and I had about 9 dishes total, out of 16 dishes and maybe would of ordered the whole menu if they didn't run out of some of the options. All of them were great as a whole.

  Cocktails were great, we both had Old Fashioneds  but were disappointed to see ice machine(small) ice cubes that watered down the cocktail.
Other great cocktails we tried were The Garam Masala and Cardamom Cocktail, and the The Yuzu Shiso Cocktail both were distinctive in flavor, and unique in their components.

Sliced Hamachi; with Granny Smith apple, fennel and radish - was very light and refreshing dish. The ingredients blended well together and both the granny smith apple and fennel were light flavors that didn't overpower the taste of the Hamachi.

Lobster ceviche with caramelized coconut, pineapple, corriender:   Probably the least of my favorites, it's a very testy dish if you love coconut and fruity flavors.

Beef tartare. Marcona almond, herbs and chile- a very unique twist on tartare, the different herbs in this dish packed transparent and well paired flavoring with every bite of beef. Although the dish said it had almonds, the almonds were butted and not as flavorful as anticipated.

Corn Ravioli, baked potato, potato chips chives-  Overall winning dish. Executed well and can definitely  taste the sweetness  corn in the ravioli, the corn was sweet , smooth and savory.

Grilled Pork Belly with gitante bean, radicchio slaw. and carrots : Delicious dish , raddiccho slaw seemed to be the prominent  flavor in this dish. Didn't really catch the gigante beans . As for the pork, you can never go wrong with ordering a pork belly!  

Warm potato salad with  pickled cucumber, ,apple and marinated soft boiled duck egg- I have never had warm potato salad, and the ingredients in this dish fused well together. No ingredient over powered another. Balanced, savory and delectable.

Bucatini with uni, garlic, and red pepper bread crumbs: - Pasta had a great bite to it, but the taste of the Uni was over powering the rest of the ingredients. But still delicious.

Fried duck sandwich with  slaw,pickles and spicy aioli  -THE BEST DISH OF THE NIGHT!! Duck was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The bun for this sandwich was toasted to the right consistency. The slaw, pickles and aioli packed a punch of strong flavor with every bite. Mouthwatering, and over all my  favorite dish!

Milk chocolate ganache, hickory ice cream, bourbon caramel and marshmallow- Perfect for the chocolate lover, hickory ice cream was smooth, delectable and married all the other components of the dish to compliment one another.

Overall, I really like this place! I recommend giving it a try, there is something for everyone, especially with the adventurous palate. You wont be disappointed.  Staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting.  We cant wait to be back again soon.  Excited to see where Chef Adam will take the menu and the concept as this restaurant establishes its unique identity in the upcoming months.
