This late-night Asian-inspired gastropub and cocktail bar is not the first of its kind. But, it's a delicious Korean barbecue that offers nontraditional plates from all over Asia.

No matter what you get here, you will not be disappointed. While the exterior gives off the impression that it is a strip mall, once guests enter they will find themselves surrounded by eccentric decorations. If a guest prefers a more modest environment, they can head over to the bar instead.
