I was born and raised in Korea so I can be picky about korean fusion cuisine but I really liked the food here. Really recommend the dumplings and korean fried chicken tacos. Everyone we talked with that worked there was really friendly too, will definitely be going back.

A Korean restaurant with locally sourced food. I had shrimp curry and NC seafood soup. As a native Korean, I was expecting authentic Korean food, but it was more fusion styled Korean/Asian food. It was delicious if you are not expecting an authentic Korean cuisine.

Delicious farm to table featuring Korean fares. The bibimbap was amazing, but the dumplings were a little underwhelming.

Kimbap has been our favorite place for the past year! We are absolutely addicted to their pork belly (we usually order the pork belly lettuce wraps or mixed rice bowl . Last time we went, my husband tried the braised short ribs and it was absolutely amazing...we've never been disappointed by one of their dishes before. I love knowing that they use fresh local ingredients. We never have to wait for a table, and the management staff are always super friendly! love this place!! :
