"If you want to experience the charming hospitality of chef-owner Jason Kim at Tokki, be sure to secure a seat at the chef’s counter. Diners can observe him plating dishes, but he’ll also pour your beer and torch the marshmallow meringue on your melona s’more, a playful riff on the popular Korean popsicle brand. All the cooking happens in a tiny kitchen, where freezer tops act as counter space, and a small charcoal grill gives the bo ssam a smoky hit. The best way to eat here is on the house menu, a prix fixe for an incredible value including savory egg custard with anchovy broth, raw fish with Korean mustard, and chewy flat noodles dressed with chile pork and gochujang. — Leisha Jones" - Hillary Eaton
