    This time the meat wasn’t good at all and it was over cooked. Considering what they charge quality of meat and the preparation is inadequate. A disappointing visit . We spent $400 for two adults and a 10 year old daughter. I guess that was our last visit.

    Good food - not worth the price. Service is weird with almost no personality?? Left us sitting for almost 20 minutes when we first sat down and the restaurant was half full. Had to ask for water, drinks. Had to ask for wine like 3 times. Waiter had to write down the order as we went. It was all kind of weird!

    Not great service and poor recommendations on what to eat. Place was empty on a Thursday evening dinner at peak time. They started sleeping floor at clearing tables while we were still eating at 9.30. Could not wait to get rid of us. Food itself was best part of experience.

    Amazing food. Great ambiance. Recommend. Started with a complimentary consommé (Sullangtang), and continued the meal with the best banchan, an incredible Australian wagyu brisket, and the bone in short rib. Also ordered the seafood pajeon and a smoked cocktail. Will definitely be returning!

    Explored the Dine LA experience at this restaurant and it was well worth it. The Dine LA menu served enough delicious food to fill you to the brim. The banchan and soup that were served tasted like home cooking, so authenticity was solid. The variety of meat that was served were flavorful and tender. This restaurant is perfect for a date night or dinner with friends.
