β β β β β TL;DR below. (Too long; didn't read)
.
Portion was small enough we had to grab something to eat elsewhere after the burger week burger. Price of $18 is high for such a small burger, it really was more of an appetizer size than meal. The burger was delicious, but ultimately very small. Service was terrible, slow, and she spent more time playing with the computer terminal than actually at our table. We had to specially request a napkin, AFTER meal, by which point the mess from the burger had dried onto my hands. Loud environment, entirely too noisy (music, not patrons), made conversation impossible across a three foot table.
The decor was just Chaos. One wall had a graffiti art, one wall is in brick with velvet boudoir seating? Laminate floors, chaos couch that seems to be made from at least five different kinds of fabric from velvet to leather and grandma's curtains. The kitchen has a Pizzeria style and feel. Echo chamber acoustics up above so the sound just bounced around forever assaulting you. Then there's a "glamorous" chandelier in the other room, across from an industrial bulb cluster. But none of the lighting actually lit the place. The bartenders were in near total darkness, we were working HARD, trying to read the menu provided.
.
TL;DR: Quality food, terrible value. Terrible service, ambiance. Plus you get to contend with downtown parking in a sketchy area.

β β β β β 4 items ordered: Habanero wings, Beets, Thai rice, Dan Dan noodles. Overall: good and will satisfy two people. Recommend the Thai rice. Interesting food fusions. Nice to see they serve Mezcal here. Service seated at the bar: good. Decor seems juxtaposed. βSharedβ space restrooms, private stalls.

Service was also amazing our waitress was so pleassant and friendly, knew her menu and all recommendations down to the tricks were spot on.

β β β β β First time in a long time I have had really good fried rice at a restaurant. The Thai basil fried rice delivered in flavor. The Korean fried chicken was tasty but no crunch at all. I think they use too much MSG--I drank a bottle of water the restaurant provided and I was still so thirsty after. I understand it is "elevated" streetfood (which is an oxymoron in itself) but it's a bit pricy.

β β β β β We went with a big group of friends and got the buffet menu for $35. Food was okay and the portion size was fair too. After finishing our food I did a little calculation and the buffet menu we tried - if we were to order them individually would have been cheaper than the buffet? Not sure if it was a good deal since the buffet is not unlimited amount of food. Drink menu is good and they have quite a lot of tequila and mezcal shots/sips. Good place to go with friends but price wasn't really reasonable. The Korean chicken is nothing close to a korean chicken at all. Sauces were not close to Korean style either.

β β β β β WOW!
Scallop dish was pretty unreal! All our food was plated well and tasted delicious! Appreciated that the cooks could make the dish vegan with tofu.
Loved the atmosphere in here, very neat that they have a fully open kitchen and we could watch the cooks cooking.
The wall art was impressive!
Would recommend coming here if you are looking for a cozy, dim lit atmosphere and good food!

β β β β β Heard great things about this restaurant but found it to be somewhat average. Corn with nachos tasted like canned corn with some cheese on top. Korean chicken was basic fried chicken and nothing more. Dandan noodles were good again but nothing special except sauce was tasty. After hearing good reviews I was disappointed and found it pricey for what you received. Pleasant service
