MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

This Korean spot has a cool, vintage vibe that comes complete with wood paneling and banquette seating. Framed artwork highlights a maritime theme which comes as no surprise since this contemporary, shared plates-style menu zeroes in on the seaport city of Busan. Seafood specialties span every section and even include a bibimbap made with uni cream. Be sure to try the scallop DIY gimbap, with thinly sliced raw scallops served alongside squid jeotgal, scallion mayo, apple kimchi and crispy gim/seaweed squares for assembling. Corn crème brûlée mixed with shaved white chocolate is a creative take on the classic, with a savory-meets-sweet appeal. Cocktails are definitely worthy of a sip.
