Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The General Tso's Chicken was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Korean Bibimbap hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Solid spot. The Korean Bibimbap is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Pho stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Great asian fusion option for the area. The Pho was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
