| - For full disclosure, I joined my friend for a special event where local food bloggers were invited to try the new menu.
Some of the items consumed were the Raman noodle salad, mushroom/vegetarian taco, (smoked?) mackerel, pork belly, mackerel fried rice, cold vermicelli noodles with pork skewer and a very delicious shaved ice/red bean/cornflake dessert.
I'm not a huge fan of Korean food generally, but the items were pretty tasty, especially the taco and dessert. The addition of things like crushed corn chips in the taco and cornflakes in the shaved ice dessert were simple things that brought the food to the next (albeit slightly hipster) level.
The service was really great, attentive and friendly. Not sure how much that was influenced by the fact that we were there for a special event, but a welcome change from some of the terrible service I've been receiving recently! The owner/manager was lovely, chatty and quite endearing.
I live in the downtown core, but often visit friends living uptown. I'll definitely suggest this spot as a possible dinner/drinks location in the future.
