Kanji IshiwaraKanji Ishiwara: Came here for breakfast. Service was friendly. Had the Kimchi bulgogi hash, I’d have preferred corn beef hash from a diner. Will need to try other items to gauge food at this place.

Jason C.Jason C: Trendy spot striving for a dive bar vibe but with a pop culture flair. Good music, awesome staff, some burnt out weekday drinkers and amazing bulgogi nachos made for an A+ experience.

John C.John Cassillo: Hip spot for brunch. Great portions and price is awesome.
