This contemporary Korean eatery puts a new twist on traditional dishes, with modern presentations, a Westernized menu and scaled-back options combining for approachable appeal. Popular starters include te gim (Korean vegetable or seafood tempura) and barbecue pork spare ribs. Entrees range from spicy kim chee soup with pork, chili and scallions to straightforward bi bim bop (rice topped with beef, veggies, bean sprouts and a fried egg). Ginger and red bean ice creams provide the finishing touch. The dining room features clean, minimalist decor. Expect ambient electronic beats, candlelight dining and playful cocktails such as cucumber martinis and Asian pear soju.
