We ordered the Korean honey butter wings and the smoked chicken mami. Wings were good, but it was super spicy. I couldn’t wait to get the soup to balance out the spiciness on my pallet, but when I tasted it, it didn’t seem like there was any salt added, which made it just taste bland and spicy. Also, the menu did not indicate anything was going to be spicy. So before you order, just ask if it’s going to be spicy if you can’t handle it. On the flipside, the drinks were really good! I had the purple pucker, which was amazing! My hubby had the Mrs. Brightside, which he seemed to enjoy a lot. Overall, the money we spent in there, I could’ve gotten a bang for my buck somewhere else and spent less money for better .

It was good. Food was a bit hit or miss. Service was good. Not sure I’d go back again and definitely wouldn’t go out of my way but it served it’s roll as a meal before heading to catch a train.

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
