Only managed to get a lunch reservation but it was arguably one of the best 2star restaurants I’ve ever been to. First time trying contemporary Korean cuisine where the ingredients were distinctly local but cooked with very varied techniques that greatly elevated the taste, textures and harmony of the overall dishes. Very attentive service crew as well.

It deserves the 2 Michelin star it has with amazing deconstruction of Korean cuisine. Every dish is super
unique and service was amazing. From the amus bouche to the abalone dumpling. The dishes really uplifted Korean cuisine. The atmosphere was a bit too clinical

For a 2 Michelin star, service could be better. Our dinner reservation was for 7pm, arrived on time and were rushed to leave the restaurant because they are closing at 10pm. Firstly, they should note that fine dining ramges from 3-4hours, and never have we been rushed to finish our dishes in a 2-Michelin stars restaurant.

Dishes were amazing and very original.

This is my 2nd visit since last year.  I was so impressed by the Maitre d' who brought up my dinning experience to the highest level. Not only he explained the whereabouts of ingredients and history, he also explained to me how to enjoy the plates

This year 2024, with a 2nd star attached,  I have high hopes that my date would feel the same.  The second we stepped in, about right on time; no one greeted us. They eyed each other?  No one offer to take my jacket.

Now, I am a strong advocate on mentorship. You need to demonstrate how to greet the patrons in front of the staff that shadowing you. You made her so tensed and uncomfortable.  I smiled trying to make her feel at ease.

Plates are really scratchy. Looks and tastes like it is a work in progress. It is a taste test without feedback needed.

It is a rainy day, very dim and the atmosphere inside is underwhelming 심삼해. The lightings is not adjusted accordingly. It is not romantic neither. Just not pristine. A few plates look like a blob you see when unclogging the sink.

Season fish is......lol....you wont believe it, not Black Cod, but something muddy....the lack of or missing in translation, to me, i was thinking... snapper or cheap herring? It has a slight crispness on the charred skin, but the fork won't cut through to pick the flesh under. It is smudged.

Below was my review in 2023.

Warm greetings upon arrival. Coats were checked right away and I could see the big show kitchen. The dinning room's ambience was understated, quite a sharp contrast to the dishes they brought out. Each table has a PDA which explains the dishes in different languages. The taste, the texture and the plating were so intriguing. Never a dull moment. Service was friendly and catering to your needs. The associate spent time explaining the background of the dishes in English. Definitely one of the highlights in my trip.

The staff and the food were very good but the ambiance did not do it for me at all. Not only is the restaurant in an office tower, there are computer screens on every table. Additionally, the dining area is out of sight of the kitchen making it even more reminiscent of a corporate lunch room.
