    The food was good, a spoon would have been helpful to serve/eat grits. The beef bulgogi dumpling dish was excellent, the chicken and ginger was just okay but cold (maybe it was meant to be?). The kimchi tots were good. The ambience was causal and rather loud. They also need better signage as without GPS not sure we’d have found them on the dark street, as Blount St could be better lit which is no fault of Mofu
