New in Koreatown, it’s a buzzy, high-sensory room that rewards strategic ordering.

Expect a polished Midtown setup and a menu built around indulgence—king crab, sushi, and grilled seafood alongside rich meat courses. It’s not a pure seafood temple, but the seafood tier is serious enough to justify the stop when you want abundance over restraint.
