Behind this project is chef Young Kyoung Lee, already at the helm of the Hanok restaurant in Paris, and founder of Misso. Here, she offers authentic , family-styleKorean street food . The menu features emblematic dishes such as bibimbap, bulgogiand ramyeon, to be enjoyed in a relaxed daytime atmosphere .
