I had been here several years ago, and it hasn’t changed much at all. This is a Korean bar type restaurant in Union Square with a myriad of different Korean foods including noodles, rice, buns, etc. The last time I was here, I had ordered a bunch of side dishes and had wrote down typical Korean American bar food. This time around, we decided to try out Korean BBQ. The staff led us up the stairs where there were many tables with BBQ grills in them.

Interesting decor. They have a shark drink where it has a bunch of blood on it. Notice a bunch of people bring their dates here.

Was a Mezcal speak easy place when I went. Decent mezcal based cocktails. It had a change of ownership recently.

Vibe reminds me of Wurstkuche in Los Angeles. But without the distinct dogs and beers. Still cool though.

Cool place. It’s in some random building basement, and the couches are comfy. Feels a little noir-ish.

Went here with a friend for the first time. Saw a random bouncer looking guy standing outside of a coffee shop. There’s a door next to the coffee shop that leads into an apartment complex. My friend and I looked at each other. We were thinking we were suppose to open this door, and that this “speak easy” is somewhere in this apartment complex. We tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t turn at all.

For this month, it was TRUFFLES. I’ve never eaten a full blown truffle set meal. At $250 a pop and 600 consecutive phone calls over a span of 2 hours, I was able to get this reservation. Coupled with wine pairing, the meal was superbly awesome.
Note for 2022 migration: this is an old post from my other defunct blog. This has 1 Michelin Star. I remember that after this dinner, I was getting tired of blogging all my Maude meals.
