Guestbook
“ The first time we ate here a few years ago, it was a pretty busy weekend and it was hard to enjoy the experience. Food was just okay but it was hard to get the attention of the staff at the time. More recently we've been having dinner here during weeknights and the experience is a lot better. The crew were very attentive and I will update this review once I get the name of the waitress who has been extra pleasant and attentive. It's still a little pricey for what it is, but it's also one of the better restaurants at SM Aura. Special shout out to their steamed egg that includes cheese melted into it, which was such a pleasant surprise. ”

“ Four of us had a wonderful meal here July 2025 about a week before the restaurant closed for refurbishment, the wagyu beef was exquisite and the chicken juicy and flavourful. the staff were very helpful and accommodating, the waitress was an absolute angel, she actually helped us cook most of the food while informing us which cuts of meat we were eating and being professional polite and friendly,giving the best service you can wish for, the rooftop location in SM Aura is very stylish and picturesque,a fantastic place to visit and hang out before or after you eat.. ”
“ Although it is relatively expensive, I can see that the quality of their meat is also relatively better than your average samgyupsal place. I've been here a few times and they serve quite well. Understandably, it gets challenging at busy hours when customers flock in. But generally good. Excellent in non busy hours. Ambiance is a tas bit better than average when not crowded. Ideal for friend groups or similar fun-catch-up-over-food meet ups. ”
