"It's everything you want in a tartare. The horseradish aioli is refreshing and adds a nice zip, and the bread is special in its own right—charred perfectly, which gives it a nice texture and a hint of smoky flavor."

"The softly cooked beef tongue has a really nice texture without being overpowering, and it gets a nice acidity from the kimchi and cucumber garnish. And the sesame steam bun is elegant."

"Open till midnight and the burger is the perfect size. It comes with perfectly cooked fries, a pickle that’s acidic enough to cut through the richness, and an amazing bone marrow marmalade to round it out."
