A place I go when I want to eat steak quietly by myself. The owners are very friendly, and it is a restaurant where a cute and lovely dog welcomes you.

The food doesn’t look like photos: - Cannot choose the drink as advertised (the red glass). The lady boss said the menu is old, not updated. - The pasta and beefsteak come on 1 single dish, which doesn’t look quite a lot like the picture. I hardly give feedback, but my bad experience explains why the restaurant is empty during Weekends. Too much disappointed!
The steak was cooked very well, with a layer of char on the outside and so so tender on the inside. Very delicious wagyu steak
A Hidden Korean Gem with Heartwarming Hospitality! This cozy Korean restaurant is run by the sweetest couple – they are so friendly and welcoming, and their staff is just as warm and attentive. You can really feel the passion they put into the service. The Korean chef is incredibly dedicated to his craft and it shows in every dish. He’s also super lovely and clearly takes great pride in what he serves. The menu is quite diverse. My friend and I had the chance to try some of their new dishes yesterday, and we were truly impressed. The Seafood Tart was unique and flavorful – a delightful surprise. The Wagyu Steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Even the kimchi was delicious and well-balanced. One of the highlights for me was the clam soup – it had a distinct smoky flavor that made it stand out. A little spicy, but very tasty and comforting. It’s a perfect spot whether you're dining as a couple or with a group of friends. Highly recommended!
Its an wonderful steak. The quality of meat is outstanding in Saigon. If you like famous steak place, visit here and compare the quality of the meat. Its really juicy and soft. Love the deep taste.
