I absolutely love this restaurant! It has been around for a while, and I keep returning for more. Tonight, I enjoyed the Korean soup, but it was so delicious that I didn't have time to take a photo before it was gone. The atmosphere is friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend making a reservation, as it tends to be quite busy.

This restaurant is like the little sibling of Junk. The food is good and definitely worth trying, but it could use more attention to detail. For example, you receive just four very small chicken bites for $12, which feels quite overpriced for some menu items. I recommend asking about the specifics of the dishes before ordering.

Fantastic and delicious! I tried several of the smaller plates, and they were all amazing. However, do yourself a favor and order the pork belly! It was executed perfectly with a delightful crackle, an incredible sauce, and the dish as a whole was outstanding! I also want to give a special shoutout to the rendang; the beef was well-braised and had a delicious sauce, but it just couldn't compete with the pork belly!
