Good place, but not good enough to be 5-star in my opinion. I do have to say that the pretzels and pretzel dip were VERY good though, and my partner liked the steak.
I got the gochujang chicken and my overall impression of the meal was that it was too sweet. The chicken was very sweet and the slaw (although it was good) was also very sweet. I think the meal would have been much better if was maybe 1/2 as sugary or less. It wasn't really coming together for me because I felt that the slaw should have been more of a palate cleanser against the intensity of the chicken. It might be improved with a small side of rice?
Interesting concept though that is sort of a twist on southern style fried chicken and coleslaw!
The food was a hit and miss. The steak was okay and definitely not my favorite. Out of all the food I like was the pork belly pepper, scallops and ahi tuna. Those were amazing and very flavorful!
Highly recommend this spot!
