I love Korean food and really enjoyed this restaurant...not because it was the best or the most authentic Korean food I have had, but because I enjoyed the whole experience. The restaurant itself has a very cool, sleek interior. It could easily be turned into an art gallery or trendy bar...which is usually not true of most Korean restaurants. Another amusing thing, the waiters all look like they are models (tall, white, good looking and with a little attitude). But most importantly, the food is very good. I had some of my favorites such as Kalbi and really enjoyed the meal. Also, some of the other dishes are creative and not necessarily constrained by authenticity. In fact, this is a good restaurant for someone who is not sure they will like Korean food because of all of the effort put into the atmosphere and packaging of the food. Plan on staying awhile (and waiting awhile to get in) on busy nights. Have a drink and the bar and enjoy the scene.
