New must-go. Incredible desserts. - Edit
While on a trip with friends, I was so intrigued by the idea of a fully vegan Korean restaurant that we had to stop in. Not only were we not disappointed but expectations were completely exceeded. For starters we ordered the stuffed mushrooms and peking "duck" bao. The mushroom stuffing was crispy and the sauce was both creamy and slightly sweet and tangy. The bao bun was soft and the "duck" had a hint of smoke and sweetness. For our meal, I got the Tteokbokki with veggies. It was spicy in the best way and the pillowy soft rice cakes were so satisfying. My friends had Bibimbop and a fresh bowl of veggies with crispy tempeh and ginger dressing (I can't remember the name of the dish). They were so happy with them. Dessert was to die for. I had the Dubai cheesecake which was, no exaggeration, probably the best dessert I've ever had. My friends had the Ube creme brulee and cherry vanilla ice cream with a ginger cookie. The Ube creme brulee was sweet and smooth with a satisfying toasted sugar top. The ice cream was perfectly creamy. We are absolutely coming back when we visit NYC next year!

Beautiful! - Edit
I popped in for early dinner and was delighted by the atmosphere of this charming Korean vegan cafe. The space is lovely with multiple levels of seating creating an intimate but laid-back vibe. The iced Thai tea is delicious with very good balance of sweetness, the “Peking duck” bao were delicious with crispy “duck” and fresh cucumbers, and the dumpling combo was incredible. Highly recommend!

Amazing Korean food - Edit
Went here for some vegan Korean fare and wasn’t disappointed. We had the Japchae dumplings (steamed), jjajangmean and ttokboekki. Everything tasted real good. We even had the makgeolli which is a sweet fermented rice wine which was delicious. Loved everything!

Cute atmosphere, delicious food, - Edit
One of the many amazing meals I had in NYC. The restaurant was super cute inside and no wait for lunch on a Monday. I had an ube latte (highly recommend), Peking duck baos, and a tofu skin roll. All of it was great, though the bao portion size was quite disappointing ($15 dollars for 1 bun cut into quarters). Everything was delicious and my biggest regret was skipping desert.

LOVE. EVERY. BITE! - Edit
This is my new favorite meal that I’ve had in the city! Like the title says, I loved every single bite. We ordered: japchae dumplings, bbq pork buns, lion’s mane bites, leek pancakes, beef pho, and crispy crab roll. Surprisingly, my favorite bite of the night was the leek pancakes!

Unfortunately, we were half way through our first few plates when I remembered to take pictures and then I completely forgot with our next round. Too yummy to care!

I remember enjoying this place a lot but also can’t quite remember what I ate. That kind of explains my review. Really tasty but not memorable enough to rave about.
