My boyfriend and I attended this restaurant on a Friday night. We had 8 PM reservations and when we went in there were 4 other people dining. I guess we were sort of past the major dinner rush. The ambiance was nice but a little dark. The waitress was great- very prompt and friendly. I guess that isn't that difficult when we were her only table. Anyway- the food came out quickly and it was pretty fresh tasting. The tempura we got as an appetizer was crispy and hot, not at all seeming like it had been sitting around like other reviewers commented. I got the New York strip steak which was pretty good. I did order it medium and it came more medium well but thats OK You'd be hard pressed to find a restaurant outside of a steak house that doesn't overcook steaks. My boyfriend got the Bul Go Ki and said that he enjoyed it. We used a $25 ""gift certificate"" from restaurants dot com that we purchased for only $3 or $4 on sale so the meal which typically would have been a little overpriced was very reasonable. We didn't get any drinks but the specialty drink menu looked pretty extensive so it might be a fun place for just a drink and dessert. \r

I'm not sure we would go back because this place didn't stand out incredibly in my mind but it certainly didn't really leave us wanting for much. The main reason we wouldn't go back is that there are so many places to choose from in Philadelphia.
Pros: Good service, tasty tempura
Cons: Just a handful of entree choices, low lights, slightly overpriced
