Whether you go for cheese or skip it, you won't be disappointed. The rice cakes were soft and fluffy, the kimchi was fresh and tangy, and the skewers were incredibly tender and flavorful. I visited with a few friends to try as many dishes as possible, and everything we had was delicious. We definitely plan to return!
