I booked a reservation for a Thursday evening for a group of 5. Approximately an hour before the reservation we had to change our reservation and add a few more people. Fortunately we were able to call and the change was made immediately.
The service is very good here, the servers and the owner made sure that all the guests were having a good experience.
We ordered the deep fried maitake, beef tartare, seafood shujiao, braised pork belly, tea smoked duck breast, and sake steamed clams all to share. We did not order any drinks.
I was under the impression that this is a fusion restaurant, but we agreed that the flavours were all quite different although the dish names came from various east Asian cuisines. The food is good here, but the outstanding dishes to me were the braised pork belly, and seafood shujiao (both not cooked in any way I've had them)
The deep fried maitake was light but had great meaty texture and was served with a sweet sauce. The beef tartare had a strong gochujang sauce which covered a lot of the beef taste. The tea smoked duck breast was well presented, and lean (but not too dry) with a subtle smokey flavour. The sake steamed clams were quite small, but had a comforting taste.
I like the decor of this place, but tables were a little bit cramped and the server had trouble getting through and pouring our water.
Prices for food are reasonable, we spent around 30 per person for a light dinner.
There are accessible washrooms on the ground floor, with additional ones downstairs which is a nice touch.
