This is a cute quiet restaurant. When you first walk in there's a full bar (it was so cold I forgot to take pictures ???? please forgive me). You walk up a few steps into the dining area. I love the atmosphere. It's not too bright, so it's easy on the eyes. The decoration on the walls are very nice as well. We sat down in a corner towards the right. That area was pretty much empty.. It soon got crowded but that was okay. Seems like a popular restaurant. It was mine and my coworkers first time there. A cute waitress by the name of Fiona helped us. Fiona seemed really nice. She took her orders and soon left. I can tell that she wasn't very familiar with the Korean dishes, but that's okay. Our dishes came relatively quick. The food was pretty amazing. My friend ordered the pork belly. And Fiona brought out some traditional side dishes to go with the pork belly. The side dishes were red leaf lettuce and a couple of sauces. One sauce in particular is called Samjha in Korean. Fiona said

This is a great spot! My husband and I enjoyed all of the food - but especially the appetizers. The sauce used in the shishito cauliflower dish made it stand out as our clear favorite. However, if you do not enjoy spicy food I do not recommend it. The garlic chili shrimp also had great flavor and it was not quite as spicy. We also enjoyed the kfc wings. All three of these appetizers were delicious, largely due to their A+ sauces. The vibe is a trendy one. This spot would be good for a meet up with friends or date night. If you have time, I recommend also swinging by the upbeat cocktail bar next door, Tied House Milwaukee, for drinks before or after your meal. They have an awesome patio in back and a good selection of drinks (ranging from fun cocktails to beer and wine.)

Apparently I’m a Korean food purist. I like what this place is doing and the food was good, but I’d prefer something more original. Our server was fantastic! I found the vibe itself lively and it had an overall fun atmosphere. I’d probably go back.
