    Went on a late Friday night with my family. We arrived around 10PM. Parking was abundant and the restaurant was empty. I really like the location, the space, and the decor. You placed your order at the counter and then select your seating. They'll bring food to you. All the food we ordered tasted great. Affordable and large. portion sizes. Glad that I found this gem that opens late because our family runs on a late night schedule due to busy activities.

    Vongole Pasta w/Chicken Katsu & Schezwan pasta w/Fried Tofu
    Aash M.

    We walked in not knowing what to expect - one look at the menu will leave you questioning - pasta, salad, ramen, croffles? We were intrigued. The service was fine, nothing too extraordinary to note. It's a fast food style sit down restaurant. The interior was decorated very well albeit the space inside isn't too large. I went with my girlfriend and we both decided to order one of their pastas. I ordered the schezwan flavor with fried tofu and she opted for the vongole with chicken katsu. Food was fine, but was it worth $15 each? Absolutely not. There is also no real choice of pasta, you're getting linguine. The tofu, while fried well and lightly seasoned with salt and tofu, just came on the side. So it was up to me to mix it in with the food so that it absorbed some of the flavor. Needless to say that altogether, we left pretty underwhelmed. Would we come back for the food? Probably not. However, we may give their desserts a shot in the future - but that will warrant its own review.

    Even my hash-brown mess was happy!

    I've been looking at this spot for SO long! It's just a bit far to go on a whim. Today's Mother'sDay and this was my request. Delicious! Everything! Easy to order, friendly staff and super cute inside. Free parking deck! Go hungry and try everything! This is my new favorite place!

    Chicken Ramen
    Jordan S.

    really good food and really nice staff. it's a counter service spot and then u go and grab it once you're called, felt like it took a little bit but worth it. I really enjoyed my sweet and spicy chicken ramen, the fried chicken balls were soooo juicy and flavorful. the bulgogi fries were also really yummy. I also got a caramel iced coffee on the way out and that was sooo delicious, perfect amount of sweetness. stop in, you'll be happy you did.

    Nice little Vibe! I don't know what took us so long to get out to this place, this is really a great spot, We ordered the egg rice bowls and the did not disappoint. I'm look forward to my next visit so I can try all of the little desserts. The restaurant was very clean, while they do not offer table service, the counter service was absolutely friendly, the cashier made all types of suggestions based on our diet. There is a parking deck located in the back of the restaurant , if you're looking for a Korean inspired food you should definitely check them out.

    Carbonara with Fried Chicken
    Andrew T.

    This place is a must. Great decor all around with a nice settling atmosphere. I got the carbonara pasta which was perfectly al dente, solid rich flavor, with a nice topping of protein. I would get the salmon over the chicken as the glaze on it is mouth watering. Would recommend checking it out as it's worth it!

    Came here the other day for the first time. You order at the counter and pay then sit wherever you want. I got the alfredo w/chicken katsu & straberry melona drink for about $23. My friend got the carbonara w/k fried chicken. Everything was good but not great. Prices for food are decent. Drinks are kinda expensive. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    Sweet and spicy Chicken Ramen
    Diana N.

    I've gone here twice. It's a nice spot. The coffee has been good. First time trying a croffle it was good. It's basically a waffle shaped as a croissant. The ramen was good. Healthier tasting I would say than the ramen I usually eat. I believed it had bok choy and other veggies and also a hard boiled egg.

    Menu

    Great location with a parking deck to the back entrance of the place. Plenty of seating area and staff were very friendly. For all the hype, what I got was NOT a hit. The k-fried chicken was not good, you can tell it was store bought. The pastas were very under seasoned and I would not recommend, but the grilled salmon was delicious by itself. I would say the affogato and the berry croffle that I got was the best thing there. If you want great coffee/espresso and dessert, I would say give this place a try. But the pasta, no, go to a better place for the price. Also the poker face drink tasted like water.

    Really a fun place! My daughter is obsessed with this place, so much that she wanted her birthday dinner here to celebrate her big day. They have a really cute atmosphere and they are open late on Saturdays till 11. Basically you look at the menu and then order at the front. They give you a beeper and when your food's ready, you'll be alerted and you go to the front and pick it up. Every time I go I get the teriyaki salmon over omelette rice. It might sound strange but it's actually very good! Lots of protein and they give you a super big portion. My daughter always gets the tempura shrimp and pasta. She's had the red sauce and the fettuccine. She loves both. My boyfriend gets the carbonara pasta with grilled chicken. All of us give this restaurant a thumbs up. They have many speciality drinks and fun desserts too. Such a variety of foods from beef bulgogi fries to spicy ramen to macaroon ice cream. The prices are really fair considering how much food you get. It's definitely one of our go tos for a casual night out. If you're in the area, don't miss out!

    really cool atmosphere. the seating and decor is so cool i loved just being in there. matcha latte was pretty good and the bingsu was good too but kinda felt like it was just random crap being added to it. atmosphere is rly what makes this place great

    Bulgogi Fries
    Nathanel J.

    The food, drinks, and space here all just passed the vibe check. Bonus! There's plenty of seating and outlets so feel free to come and work. My food partner and I decided to of course get multiple items and share. We got the Bulgogi Fries, Chicken Katsu Sandwich, and a Coffee Espirtini (since we were told it was large). All the food? Certified buss down. The drink? Craft-fully made. Both of us were as full as a tick. We also spent a couple hours here just hanging out working on different projects. I will say, it's not the quietest place as it does get a bit noisy when full but definitely serves as a great change in scenery.

    Too much to compliment. Thr dumplings, bulgoggi, shrimp, ramen, salmom, omletye rice...no complaints!!!

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

    One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.
