Master Critic Review

Gurumé 8.3
Hell's Kitchen
A Hell’s Kitchen Korean tapas bar from Chef Joon Ryu that leans into playful anju-style small plates with a cocktail-forward energy. The menu reads like a late-night Seoul snack crawl—crispy, saucy, and built for sharing—while still keeping execution tight.
