This isn't your grandma's (although we love her kimchi!) traditional fare. Imagine kimchi elevated to an art form, presented in a stylish salon-like atmosphere reminiscent of old Seoul glamour. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is buzzing with a playful, modern take on Korean tradition. Think vintage furniture, quirky décor, and of course, the star of the show: kimchi! Their menu is a kimchi lover's dream, offering a diverse range of dishes that showcase the versatility of this fermented staple. We tried the kimchi pancake (obviously!) and were blown away by its crispy edges and the perfect balance of spicy and savory. The kimchi jjigae was also a standout, a bubbling pot of comforting goodness. But the real surprise was the kimchi pasta! Who knew kimchi and Italian cuisine could be such a harmonious match? It was tangy, creamy, and utterly addictive. The service was friendly and efficient, and the prices were reasonable, making this a must-visit for anyone looking to experience kimchi in a whole new light.
