Really appreciate this hidden gem which has speakeasy vibes tucked secretly on the third floor of an old building in K-town! Brought a date here who loves Korean food who said this was one of her best experiences this year, given it was a surprise =) Our undisputed favorite was Marinated Whole Eel Over Furikake Rice, which was to die for, and pure ecstasy. The Crispy Squid Tentacles definitely didn't disappoint, and the green tea mochi also was quite an epic dessert to finish the night! Grateful for the one and only Samantha Lin of Ethos Collective For Hospitality for allowing me to discover this venue recently through her amazing scavenger hunt experience supporting local businesses!

I'm so glad we caught the last 15 minutes of happy hour! Great happy hour food and drink prices. We had a few drinks and ordered the fried squid tentacles, chicken wings, and tteokbokki. The electronic ordering system made it really easy for us to get everything we wanted. We were able to place a second order easily when we realized we weren't full after the first few dishes. Funny story and totally not within the restaurant staff's control - when we arrived the elevator wasn't working and we took the stairs up by following one of the staff members. By the time we left, the elevator was working again. Not gonna lie, I was a little scared to get inside... thankfully we made it down fine! Typical K-town mishaps :)

Dinner here was so freaking good! The space inside is so big and perfect for a spot to catch up with friends or coworkers after a day out. The drinks were slightly sweet and not extremely strong which we loved and the appetizers blew us away! The fries were crispy but also starchy because they use fresh sweet potatoes. The corn cheese blew our minds. The bacon and gnocchi inside of it added so much texture and flavor. The rice cakes in the soup were so chewy and mildly spicy. As for the risotto, it was creamy and soft like a wet rice but with lots of cheese and meat! And to end, the mochi was cold and chewy perfection. The bartender and servers were also really kind and quick with our drinks and food.

The maze is my favorite bar in k town. The drinks are pretty strong and the food is decent. The service is always lovely. This place is pretty lowkey and great for a late night yapping session.

The Maze is my favorite pocha in KTown! They serve Korean fusion dishes that always hit the spot when drinking. The sweet potato fries are perfect and I really like their risotto.

Was one of the last bars open around K-Town and squeezed in at 1AM Gnocchi corn cheese slapped and was perfect amount to share. Yuzu highball was also solid, but nothing too special. Vibes are very modern, edgy, almost punky? Staff were kind and chill. Order on a tablet.
