How disappointing...I came here not expecting anything amazing, yet I was still underwhelmed. For these prices--and this place is NOT cheap--I was expecting delicious--if Westernized--versions of my longtime faves. But what I received fell way short--medium-sized portions of flavorless ""modern Korean food"" served to people who don't know any better. And what Korean restaurant makes you pay for banchan? I suppose it's acceptable if your customers don't know better and assume that these are ""appetizers"" rather than an integral--and free--part of the meal. But what disturbs me the most is that this place doesn't seem to be trying very hard--the food was sloppily prepared, thus the flavors are way off--either too sweet, or in most cases, not spicy enough. It doesn't even seem that there's a real Korean person actually cooking or at least supervising the food preparation in the kitchen.
Pros: Nice decor, "Hip" crowd
Cons: Awful food, Hip crowd, Patronizing service
