We went with friends, and I would suggest that, as a group of 4, you get there as early as possible. We went on a Sunday and got there just before 7. Unfortunately, all there was not a big line-up, there were two groups of 4 before us, so we ended up waiting over an hour. People in couples got in before us.\n\nOnce we got inside the door (it was starting to get chilly early April), we ordered a pitcher of beer. The waitress was happy to bring us this and didn't complain that we were blocking the door (we did try our best to not be too much in people's way). We were finally seated right near the door, on a tiny table, but it was well worth it.\n\nPork cheeks - OMG! This is a little piece of culinary heaven. It actually reminded me quite a bit of rillettes de porc in flavour, though the texture is more like cretons (smoother even). I should order this takeout in large quantities and keep it in my fridge. Not that it would last long.\n\nHomemade tofu - since it was Sunday, we opted for it and it was amazingly silky and smooth.\n\nGyoza - good dumplings, but not better than I've had elsewhere.\n\nTuna and Salmon rice bowl - refreshing, delicate, lovely mix of flavours.\n\nBeef galbi - a bit different from what I expected as it didn't look like the Korean versions I've had before, but it was very tasty, with a more subtle sauce.\n\nTuna belly - yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! If you don't do fat or bones, you probably won't enjoy this. If you're Asian, you'll love it.\n\nWe shared these, and finished with the ice-cream (it's just soft-serve, with a topping - I had sake, which I enjoyed). With two pitchers of beer, it was more expensive than other Asian places, especially since we only had three appetizers and three main courses, coming to $200. But, honestly, I'd do it all again."^^ . . . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "2015-05-05T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ .
