Overall a great restaurant. Grateful food, service and atmosphere. Reasonably priced. My husband had the chicken parmigiana…said one of the best he’s had. I love the Korean flavours! Highly recommend.

Love this experience so much. The only criticism of this space, is you have to exit into a dark alley. From a security perspective this needs to be reviewed. Also the interior space of hello darlin is small so some consideration needs to be addressed for human pollution,(gas) keeping the door open for air and ceiling fans would be a start.
