   My new top Korean restaurant! All the dishes we tried were top tier and the service was excellent. Our waiter was super attentive, accomodating, and friendly. We ordered two drinks: the Seoul Sour & the Jeju Jewel. I personally loved the Seoul Sour, but would pass on the jeju jewel next time and try something else or a wine. I will say the drinks here are not very strong, so I wouldnt recommend the cocktails to anyone who likes a strong alcoholic drink. We started out with the scallop crudo, which was super light and refreshing. The sauce is very bright and it's a great dish to start off the entire meal. Next came the wagyu tartare and the uni toast. The wagyu tartare was PHENOMENAL. I usually dislike wagyu beef tartares because I find wagyu too fatty for tartare but this establishment conveys it perfectly. The shaved egg yolk, the mustard aioli & the crispy potato chip all come together for the most decadent bite. I wish I could eat this everyday! On the other hand, I really hoped the uni toast would deliver, but alas it did not. It was the one dish that intrigued me about Sinsa but half of the pieces were super briny and the uni did not taste fresh at all. The other two were good-- I liked the buttery toast and the uni. However, the texture of the kimchi with the uni was a little unsettling? But that's just a personal preference! We also ordered the Rice Thief, which you can never go wrong with! I will say it is a little underseasoned than the one at the sister restaurant, but still amazing. We ended the meal with one main: the donkatsu au poivre. And just WOW. The crispy panko crusted katsu was perfectly crunchy and cooked, and the sauce was the best thing I have ever tasted! It was super peppery (which I love) and was rich in flavor but light in texture. I did not feel it was super greasy, and the cucumber salad on top really lightened the dish up. Overall, I would 10000% come back and hope to try the rest of the menu!

   Food portion is to small for its price. Flavors are okay. Wait time for each dish is way too long. All servers are nice.
