Come try it and see for yourself.

Simple ingredients...
yet so tantalizing and complex.
The Infatuation
"For a dish as straightforward as Mapo’s dak galbi... the intensity of flavor is mind-boggling. The savory chicken cutting through the spicy chili paste... it’s a perfect plate of food and one that, despite the immense complexity of flavors and textures, feels like home cooking."

"While I can happily vouch for the quality, I cannot speak to the authenticity of Mapo Galbi, but über-esteemed Momofuku chef David Chang not only can and does, but he even goes so far as to consider it one of his all-time favorites."

"So glad they made it through the pandemic. Was one of the first places we went after indoor dining reopened."

"Got the chicken dak galbi and it was amazing! A little hot to eat but makes perfect for Korean comfort food. It's a very Korean place, so I love the old school vibes I get from here as a Korean American - it makes me feel like I'm at home~"
