Max Oliveras
This place is AMAZING, the ambiance is very cool and chill vibes, the wine list is interesting I wish they would separate them in white reds or give a better description. Food will rock your palette, so many flavors and textures. The seafood pancake was delicious, the mackerel melted off the spine while the beef soup was rich and tender, everything was finger licking good!

Loved this place! Dining here was a spur of the moment decision and I’m glad we came! The ambiance was very hipster and relaxed. The music was soft and funky. I really like the vibe of the place.

Possibly one of the best Korean restaurants in Midwest. Their menu and recipes are authentically Korean except there is much more. The flavors in all of their dishes are so much more complex than any Korean food I’ve ever had. Highly highly recommended.

Was visiting a friend in Chicago and decided to get dinner. Little did I know I’d stumble into some of the best food I’d ever eat.

First, the food here is amazing. No seriously, it is amazing. Pork Bossam for me was the absolute star. We also loved the yuk hwe (beef tartare) and japche. Second, the atmosphere is awesome. Great music, great service, great decor, and it was busy right when they opened. It was fun and felt good. We are definitely returning to try more of the menu.

was a nice overall experience, if you wanted some korean but a more niche environment this is it.

Korean delicacy and cuisine. If you want atmosphere and taste and not so much quantity, then this is the place. The first korean restaurant without korean guests except us. Kind of omakase atmosphere? With wine and stuff…kosher food style…

Great modern twist of Korean food while maintaining the Korean flavors. They also have a nice selection of mock tails to select from.

Really enjoyed the whole package…quaint, comfortable with nostalgia walking in. I really liked sitting at the bar felt intimate as if you were in the chefs home kitchen. I had the spirit free Peach soda and it was really something special you can definitely add any liquor to it and it should be there signature drink! I had the Korean pancake, the vegetable noodles and I had the mackerel for my main and it’s was outstanding. Really enjoyed the friendly staff and down to earth and passionate chef.

The most elegant Korean meal I’ve ever had. Exceptional ingredients were carefully prepared to elevate familiar dishes to new heights. We enjoyed sitting at the chef’s counter and sharing the dishes. Attentive service and such a treat to see Chef Beverly.
