First time coming to this location, although the patio may be small, I'm a big guy and I sat surprisingly comfortably. Food was great and the waitress named Jamie served us and the service was amazing too. As a meat person, this is THE place to go for lambskewers and other skewer dishes as well. Will visit again, 10/10 bussin' for real.

The restaurant is kinda small and they don't take reservations so it's first come first serve. It's a great, lively place for super late night eats. Service was quick, didn't have to wait long for food to arrive. Food was good, all their skewers seem tohave the same seasoning but still tasty nonetheless. Some notable dishes/skewers worth mentioning are the Lamb Skewers, PorkBelly Skewers and Cheese Corn.

Overall, it was a delightful experience—from the music to the friendly staff, and even the unique cutlery and dishes. We ordered the eggplant (which I highly recommend!), king oyster mushrooms, beef skewers, scallops, and kimchi fried rice. This was a generous portion for two people. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. My favorites were the eggplant, beef skewers, and kimchi fried rice. Unfortunately, the scallops, which were served with noodles, were overcooked, so we couldn't enjoy them as much.

As for the food, here's my ranking from best to worst: - **Sausage**: Absolutely the best—sweet, salty, and delicious. - **Beef**: Well-seasoned, though it was half meat and half cartilage and fat. - **Chicken Wings with Honey**: Great flavor and a good amount of meat. - **Lamb**: Not as well-seasoned as the beef, but I appreciated the meatiness. - **Cucumbers**: Tasted great, providing a refreshing break from all the meat. - **Chicken**: While it wasn't well-seasoned, I liked that it was all meat with no fat, which is great for my bulking diet.

The restaurant has a really cute atmosphere and the food is fantastic. The lotus roots were delicious, but the skewers are truly the highlight of the menu—definitely give them a try! Don’t forget to order a bowl of rice to round out your meal. Our server, Jaime, was incredibly friendly from the moment we arrived until we paid the bill. The customer service was excellent. Jaime, you deserve five stars!
