In the Korean ambiance, you’ll discover authentic dishes to be shared with the rest of the table or enjoyed on your own. They serve lunch from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM; from 5:00 PM onwards, you can indulge in their dinner menu and drinks. In a short time, this new place has built a strong reputation (they’ve even become a TikTok sensation), so it’s highly advisable to make a reservation.
