Great find on OpenTable for a last minute reservation. We loved the food and table side cook. The view from the 39th floor was amazing. Recommend if you are looking for a unique experience for Korean food.

Food was very good! But the noise level was too much. Actually, extremely loud! The table next to us had 3 young women who were literally screaming through their drinks & meals….making it very uncomfortable for my family to enjoy our meal and reasonable volume conversation. It would’ve been nice for a manager to address them. I left feeling they had a sense of entitlement and no one wanted to say anything to them. A ruined evening and experience.
