   This place is closed and has been for a while. Open table needs to remove from its website so users don’t waste their time!!!

   We made a reservation for 7pm and arrived 15 minutes early. One of the servers advised us to sit down at a specific table. We sat there for a few minutes expecting someone to bring us menus and take our drink orders, but rather another gentleman from behind the bar came up to our table and very matter of factly stated we were not allowed to sit at this table. We advised him that another employee told us to sit here and he said she didn't know what she was talking about and we cannot sit there. He told us to go outside, didn't apologize for misunderstanding between the staff, and was extremely rude in his approach. This left a sour taste in our mouth, so we left and will not be returning. This was unfortunate, as we've been there before and had a good time with great food, but restaurants are a dime a dozen in Oceanside, and I refuse to pay good money for poor service.

   I asked the waiter for the house special not knowing what I was going to get, I like doing that as I am normally happily surprised, although this time I was not impressed. The (nice) waiter brought me a burger patty on fried rice with an egg on top. I easily could have made that dish taste better myself at home. Shoutout to the bartender though the mai-tai’s are true mai-tai’s - those were perfect.

   Go for the cocktails and chicken wings. Galbi is better than the Bulgogi. Do not waste any money on anything else. Especially the kimbap, you’ll be sad you burned $13 on it but more mad that it was so bad. Remember … kimbap here = sad, mad, bad.

   Food was very good and served in a timely manner. The staff did their job, was professional but not particularly warm.

   Great food! I tried two of the cocktails, a watermelon-tini, which was “just right” and an orchata. The orchata was a little too sweet for my taste but as it was my second drink, I counted it as dessert, and it was also delicious. We had the nachos, a Korean taco and the vegetarian tostadas. Enjoyed everything. The musician was great but too loud… the amplification may not be necessary and the hard walls of the restaurant made it worse. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very open to a somewhat unattractive street, but I would go back to enjoy a great meal, and I would recommend it for people looking for a hip/younger vibe.
