The results were mixed. We did the grill table and had appetizers. The apps were AMAZING! The pot stickers, the salad, the spicy edamame, all yum. The meat for the grill was basted in a wonderful marinade and you had a choice of having the kitchen grill it or doing so at your table. We chose to do it ourselves. The waitress brought us scissors with the meat...! The cuts were really too thick and/or wide and I was wondering why the kitchen would send them out so we would still have to cut raw meat with scissors at the table? Also, the only veggies that came with the meal were chunks of green peppers and a few rings of onions. We had asked about more but those were it. The dessert was shaved something in coconut milk. Not very memorable. They did hold the dairy for our lactose free person so maybe that would have made a difference? Because the apps were so good I'll go back and try their other items, but probably not the grill table.

Milkwood was our anniversary go-to; tonight Nami picked up that role. Our server Jay was incredibly friendly and helpful. He explained everything on the menu, giving us recommendations and guidance, and then left us for a bit to think it through. By the time he came back to check in, we were ready to order our whole meal. We started with a complimentary champagne toast for our anniversary...always a lovely touch. Then we had our two cocktails, the wasabi margarita and the lychee martini. Both were so delicious we couldn't choose, and ended up sharing them both entirely. Next came crispy chicken dumplings (that we ate before I could even get a photo) and the amazing ponyu, a thick scallion and vegetable pancake (got a photo of the last slice. We couldn't stop eating it!). For our mains (most of which came home with us, tbh), we ordered the crispy skin snapper with delicious fried rice and the Kalbi beef short ribs from the bbq menu. The bbq comes with 2 sauces and 3 housemade banshan side dishes. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. There's nothing on the menu that I don't want to try. We love sharing so that we can taste it all! This will definitely be our anniversary spot...but I don't think I'll wait a year to return.

Usually when they bring the check they leave and come back not stand over you mad dogging you as you struggle to count. I kept hearing "you pay, you pay now and you leave!" I asked for more rice three times to no answer finally she snapped at me "you get only one rice!" I said I'll pay for more I understand it cost money. I felt like winging 50 cents at her for a cup of rice. We had appetizers that did not require utensils or chop sticks. We finished them and she tried to take the chop sticks saying "oh you no use chop sticks" and it was like she didn't want to give them back. We cooked the last meat on the little table top gas grill that is a camping stove that runs off of a bottle. She turned off the flame and admonished us "you're done cooking turn of stove" It makes you wonder if they're pinching Pennie's at your table what are they doing in the back

There was the option of Korean barbecue and while cooking at the table appeals to some I am afraid that I'll do something clumsy; hurting myself and others. I have not been to Korea. I have no idea what authentic looks like. This was what having a meal at my Korean friend's houses is like and I really enjoyed it. Most of the patrons were not white or speaking English which is always signifies to me AND as a therapist I don't want to overhear your conversations. The food arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. I am looking forward to eating there again (if I see another birthday)

Even after asking for a manager to quickly resolve the situation- we were refused. Very poor customer service. We stopped here at 730 on a Thursday-we were seated within a few minutes. Place appeared clean and not overly crowded. Ordered drinks and waited 10 minutes for drinks and to begin the ordering of food. The host places a paper liner on the grill and oiled it - said we had to keep it on and she would change as needed- it started burning prior To getting food, we asked to change prior to eating and she never did. Our first set of food took 15 minutes, as other tables around got their food after being seated after us. Only 1/2 the order was received- we got shaved chicken, small shaved steak, pineapple, zucchini.- mind you we were a party of 3. Paper still burning and peeled off on food. Fried rice had a weird sweet corn flavor which did not pair well with the food. Over 20 more minutes host had yet to get another order as she helped tables all around us- we were out of drinks and missing food items. Dishes were also piled up as other tables had staff clearing theirs ours remained and space is tight as is. We had to ask for manager- some staff came out - we got some food out and then they started just bringing random food. No apologies and for the wait and issues with the grill, small fire and wait times- we will not be back. Much better hot pot places that I will spend our money.

For what felt like a steal. My party and I chose the hotpot-only option. This included picking your base broth and then being able to add different seasonings, sauces, and of course protein and vegetable ingredients along the way. The staff was attentive and so generous with portions. They were urging us to try new things and checked on how we were doing often. We had a small party of two but the restaurant space is ready to handle large parties as well. They have two separate sections of BBQ / hotpot tables, a bar area, kimchi bar, and sauces bar, not to mention ice cream and dessert treats if you can possibly eat more after your meal. This restaurant is as much about the experience as it is about the meal itself. Now that I know the layout I'll bring a larger party next time, it was good fun and a great value for the money.

We shared japchae, tteokkbeokki, and one of the beef soups on the menu. Plenty of food for the two of us to share! We also didn't wait too long for the food. It's run by a husband and wife team. The wife was mostly running the front of house. It didn't get too busy and she checked on us a few times. They do offer some unique items I haven't seen at other Korean places in town. It's definitely a selling point to coming here. I did feel like the food was a bit bland. But I know we love our salt in America so maybe that's how it should taste. I thought the tteokkbeokki was exceptional. It really tasted homemade. It was nice and soft! Glad I came by to visit!

We were greeted warmly by the owner. I was excited to try the Sundae Gukbap: sausage soup. I'm not aware of any other Louisville Korean place that has it on the menu. Hubby ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork. I also got the grilled rice cakes as an appetizer. Everything came out pretty quickly. The rice cake sticks are fried to crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're so good w the sweet spicy sauce drizzled on top. My soup was a bit of a challenge to me due to the abundant mix of pork "stuff": liver, blood sausage...etc. we both liked the delicious SS Pork. But I do wish this one had more stuff in it other than battered pork strips. When I return, I will try something more vanilla than the Sundae Gukbap: but more exciting than the SS pork.
