\nthat came from Grace Lee and her mom.

It’s for<\/strong> foodies looking for new and unique Korean dishes. It’s not<\/strong> for people looking for grilled Korean BBQ. We recommend<\/strong> the Chicken Cheese Fondue, Snow Chicken Cheese, and Galbi Jim Dosirak. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the place is quite small and may get full quickly on peak hours, so make sure to book a table ahead of time.
