The food portion size and quality was not worth the pricing. Service also low quality, atmosphere was okay but their food quality does not reflect the asking price at all.

Strongly unrecommended! Went here and got the Pork Bokkeum w/ Miso Soup. My friend got the Beef Bulgogi & Hot & Sour soup. Admittedly, the miso soup was above average, but it needed to be. The meal was 18 dollars, I could've go to an AYCE Sushi restaurant for lunch for almost that much money. Now, the entree and fried rice were bad. There was no heat or really flavor at all to the main entree. I even tried the sauce it was in by itself to make sure, and it tasted like straight up oil. The onions definitely were not cooked enough either, as they had not caramelized at all. And the fried rice was easily one of the worst fried rices I have had. Close to zero flavor, and had an off-putting chicken broth flavor, almost like it was a soup. I would honestly rather they microwaved up some frozen fried rice and served that up instead, which is sad for a restaurant with luxury aesthetic and prices. The booths were extremely uncomfortable, with a singular rock-hard cushion that does not raise up past my lower back. There is no need to make something look aesthetic if it is hardly functional. Finally, the service was... Not great. The server didn't really come around all that frequently, and I have to get up to wave them down for my bill. For 20 dollars a head, this restaurant was horrible. For Pensacola, I can name MANY Asian restaurants with far better service, comfort/aesthetic, and food quality. AVOID!

The pork ramen was good. I love the noodles but the pork not so much. Funny taste. Will be back to try something else. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.

Food was marinated and seasoned well. Service was good. The only thing I didnt like is that a tip was automatically added into the bill. If I didnt pay attention on the receipt, I would have mistakenly given 2 tips. I can understand that if it was a large group but it was just 2 of us.
