Good drinks, great menu, alright venue, so so value. Personally i love korean food and was excited after checking the menu out online. I expected a slighty higher end feel to venue. It was a mildly tacky affair exagerated by overly loud yesterdays pop favorites playlist. I was expecting somewhere you might take a date for dinner but it was more of a latenight bites with a bar type feel despite the spendy menu. That being said service was stellar and our waitress was courteous, never hovered, and was totally on the ball. The stone bowl was a generous portion size and had great flavor, i love their sauces as well. I had the short rib which was absolutely incredible. Very tender and almost no chewey bits, i did ask for sauces to dip it in on the side which i felt it needed to begin with. I loved the dish and will be back to order it again. What i was most impressed with overall was the little things like superb rice, (you can always tell when a restaurant buys cheap rice or has a crummy rice cooker) and the tempura appetizer. The shrimp had a fresh meaty quality and the batter was light, crunchy, fluffy. Its hard to find good seafood here and those shrimp were weirdly high quality for Ciny. The sweet potato and carrot slices did need to be blanched or sliced thinner however as the tempura fry time didnt quite cook them through. They used japanese purple sweet potatoes though instead of the cheaper common types, really great flavor on them. Cocktails were good i was impressed and they had a good selection of asian lager which is fun when you go out for korean. I really enjoyed my visit and they gave us a coupon in exchange for some feedback which was great. My principle complaint would be that they need to decide if they are a bistro type place for the bar crowd or a nice sit down restaurant you could have a romantic meal in. They already know how to cook great food.

The whole staff here is great. From the owners to the waitresses, to the amazing bar tender, everyone is there to make sure you have a great meal and a great experience. They serve traditional Korean dishes from sticky Korean BBQ wings to the stone bowls and bibibop. Main of the entree dishes can be served in a stone bowl as well. I recommend any of the pork belly dishes. They also did an amazing job of building out the facility. Its a beautiful space inside. Definitely give it a shot.

Loved, loved, loved the food here. Interior of the restaurant was very nicely designed and made you feel like you were having a somewhat fancy dinner without the price tag. There are other korean restaurants in the area with lower prices for some dishes, but all in all a great balance of price and quality. Make sure you order some kimbap to share!

Amazing, absolutely best and most authentic Korean fried chicken in Cincinnati. Also, they have Cass beer! Great balance of price and quality - it feels like the prices could be

The food was really good but this is the only Korean restaurant that has exceptional service.

Food was good, but youre paying to eat in Hyde park, not for the Korean food.
