I don't think I can name everything good about this place, but the food was absolutely amazing! The pictures don't do any just. Flavor out of this world! The chef definitely takes pride in cooking. Our server was "OG Logan" he check on us often, very helpful. Also this has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I've been in. If I could give a 10 i would!

The service was great and the food was excellent. It was actually my first time having Korean and my birthday. 10 outta 10. The next time I'm in Pensacola, I'm definitely stopping by for lunch!

I had one of the best ribeye steaks in a long time accompanied by a large excellent Manhattan. Be sure to check out the specials board in the lobby.
