I thought this club was pretty legit. Broadway has so many places to choose from and to me they range from corny to hood. Atmosphere happened to lean towards hood. The music was great- there are two floor with different good music. Saw tons of skanks shaking their behinds on guys like they were getting paid. Hopefully those guys got lucky or else they'd be getting major major blue.... Huge second floor and plenty of space to dance- practically breakdance if you wanted to. Ha. Virtually no wait at the bar. Only place to park around here are the lots for 20 bucks. We showed up at the club close to 11pm and the line just went by- none of that holding you out in the dang cold when the club is actually empty. Of course it was a dub to get in though- nothing out of the ordinary. I know you can't smoke indoors Cali yet I smelled like smoke after? Interesting. I'm down to come back here fo sho. Its definitely way better than Sutra which is nice door. Ugh. Thinking about that place makes me want to throw up.

I'm very biased when reviewing this place, so I'm going to be completely honest. My two GFs and I are regulars here. We used to come here 2-3x a week sometimes. We usually sit at the bar and chat with our buddies Andy and Byul. Love them! And of course we also get the majorly ridunk hookup because we're always here! Fruit platters and lots of free drinks and refills. But that's not to say that we don't order a lot of stuff too, that we pay for of course! That said, if you're not a regular here and just come here every now and then, my first gripe would definitely be about the service. Compared to other Ktown joints, I feel like their service is inadequate and seems inexperienced. There's this one waitress with short, blunt bangs that's been working there FOREVER and she is always in a disgustingly foul mood - she likes to barge through crowds like she owns the place. I can't understand why she still works there, anyone? But don't get me wrong! I do love coming here when it's earlier in the evening too, with a group and we sit away from the bar. They have a great $10 dinner and drink special. It's my favorite place to frequent in Koreatown--it's just that all these little factors detract from the actual ambiance. But if you're there for a good one-on-one conversation with a girlfriend or a casual date, this is a better spot than Players or Maru (just avoid Tuesday's All You Can Eat and Thursday's Happy Hour). BTW in terms of the food, the ddukboki is awesome as is the nakji bokeum bap (spicy octopus fried rice). Their dooboo kimchi is good although not great, but their best dish is the bulgogi doriya. OMG! Garlicky sweet beef fried rice with a thickkk layer of cheese on top. To..die...for. The hambuk steak (hamburger patty steak) is very dry however. If you're craving a good hambuk steak, go to Maru and try their Millennium steak smothered in mushrooms, or Players. That one's a close second.

Admittedly, I don't like to dance, I don't like to drink, and this is the ONLY Hollywood club I've ever been to, but I think it's now safe to say I will never go to another one. We got there early, and there was no one in line, but we still had to play the game of tipping the bouncer and then waiting outside in the cold for like ten minutes while he decided whether or not to let us in... so by that time I was expecting something really awesome inside, but it was only a little awesome and not worth the pretension, dirty looks, and eventual crowds. I'll stick to the Eastside dive bars.
