Absolutely loved this place! 

We actually dropped in immediately after already having eaten elsewhere but I totally wished we just came here first! 

Food was delicious and the vibes were amazing - I felt like they've successfully managed to bring the Asian hawker experience indoors here in this little bubble of fun vibes. 

Service was pretty fast especially considering how busy it was. 

I'm saving this as one to come back to as I was getting food envy with every dish that passed us by but we were just too full to try more. 

Kook soon dang makgeolli was a nice accompaniment.
