    A vodka redbull was initially told to us at $40 a glass and when the manager came over it was changed to $35. Alcohol is a bit overpriced but the rooms and vibes were good. Song selection was very good with asian artists and a bit lacking on english artists but we expected that so this part is not a complaint.

    Food was very good and we had a lot of fun. Our only issue is they trick you with the gratuity. They automatically add it to your bill but then ask for 20%-40% more!! They don’t make it obvious so we didn’t even notice until we got the receipt and had to ask for a credit card refund.

    We booked the karaoke room, and they don't list the price. Had reached out beforehand and they assign you a karaoke room, you don't get to choose. Different rooms, different prices. We didn't find out till we showed up. Limited songs on karaoke machine.

    Amazing!!! They had a great selection of food and it came out quick and fresh! The servers were friendly and quick to help with any questions; my group absolutely loved singing and enjoyed the private room. Would 1000/10 recommend for friend groups or people wanting to branch out on entertainment! Loved it!

    I say the food is the most authentic, flavorful, and perfectly captures the essence of Korean cuisine. The bossam and ttukbokki were some of the best I’ve had, and the selection of soju and Korean beers is top-notch. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and group gatherings. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring an amazing experience from start to finish. Big shout out to Fay!
