Reviews and accolades

In a mixed review, Pete Wells referred to the restaurant as "fine" and criticized the food for overuse of salt and sugar.[9]

Matthew Schneier, for his review in Grub Street, referred to the restaurant's hand washing station, available before eating, as "a nice touch".[1] Schneier compared the restaurant's affordability favorably to chain Korean fried chicken restaurants such as Bonchon Chicken.[1]

The restaurant was added to the Michelin Guide for New York City in June 2024, alongside other restaurants including Bungalow.[10]
