The 2nd wife's other husband loves this place. It's gourmet, interesting (Korean if I had to guess) and rather hard to get into. I don't see what the hubbub is about, but interesting is definitely the case.
Before I go on about the $40 chicken boneless chicken wings, I will say that they took the whole service ninja thing to the umpteenth level. And for no good reason as they didn't quite execute. I understand the whole back-waiter, front-waiter system can be elegant and allow for a coverage that a single server can't. But when each server that walks up doesn't know what we are drinking (and we're clearly empty), and doesn't know who ordered what (as we ordered the entire menu), and solicits us for jobs because they overheard us talking and deduced we were "in the industry," the whole cover gets blown.
Run on sentences aside, how was the food? Solid according to my spouses that eat Korean food. Not that it isn't for me, but when you have absolutely no idea what it is you're being served, it's less about meeting an expectation and more about creating one. According to them it was delectable. According to me it was weird. The fried chicken was fine, but incredibly expensive. I mean, they have to carry that service overhead somehow.
