The food is really really nice, especially the fish (black stone shaped).. it’s amazing as we thought it’s bread With Michelin One Star, the food is so nice with this price point. Except the environment, it’s more like a garage

Although it was a few years ago, my experience here remains one of the greatest dining experiences ever. My only disappointment was the main dish, but even that wasn't bad. I was only disappointed because it wasn't as good as the previous dishes. I've been to many Michelin starred restaurants since, but few have matched the creativity and execution here.

The food is great, the flavour is strong and approach acidic. Worth to pay 28000 won more for the Hanwoo. Will surely come back again.

The food was phenomenal! Every single dish was so delicious! The service was amazing too. I told the restaurant that I was celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and they were able to write a customize message on the dessert place. I can’t recommend this place more 10/10!

Had a good time a while ago. nothing really stood out but rather their food had nothing bothering, which also means good. wines are rather casual. staffs were nice. the fish dumplings were really good. considering the small place with not a lot of tables and the fairly low price for a starred restaurant, I appreciate the quality of the food the chef keeps. I'd say they're much better than Mingles.

Exquisine = exquisite cuisine, I presume. And I agree :-). Some dishes were better than others but overall it was a great experience. Briefly: 1) the snacks were stellar; 2) the egg is not just an egg but a surprise egg filled with corn, seafood, etc; 3) the few first bites showcased the mastery of balancing sweet flavours; 4) the Spanish mackerel was the least favorite: too strong in flavour and soft in texture; 5) the egg, mackerel and barley/abalone served just before the duck/hanwoo wellington beef give a sequence of 4 rich dishes. I would suggest the chef to intercalate between the 4 dishes the schisandra berry palate cleanser; 6) the 30 days aged duck breast was aged and cooked perfectly - so tender but with crispy skin; 7) the hanwoo Wellington beef was on the saltier side - the duck is a better choice in this case. And finally 8) all the desserts were a nice finish to a solid degustation menu. The restaurant was dark right from the start. I would have reduced the light progressively, as we move through the courses.
