Got the four course menu and was overall a great experience. I was a bit taken aback since the reservation on OpenTable says the menu is $65 but in-person, the menu said $90, did not appreciate that discrepancy. But food was excellent. I didn’t love the dessert, the apple syrup the ice cream sat on was a bit too syrupy—would’ve enjoyed the ice cream more without the apples. The main entrees with the short ribs and rockfish were good but not as special compared to the rest of the menu. The mandu, soondubu, jook were amazing and unique. The kalguksu that came with my rockfish was really good as well and because of that alone, I would recommend the rockfish over the short rib entree.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Christy! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the food and service at SHIA overall. I'm sorry that our four-course bar menu pricing communication was not clear. We could have done a better job, and we appreciate you letting us know so we can improve this. We had indeed started our four-course bar menu at $65 for a short period but then updated it to $90, which is likely what we'll keep. Given that our menu is seasonal, we'll continue to note how we communicate menu details and prices better. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Thanks also for letting us know what dishes you loved and what dishes we missed a bit. We strive for the best and will review your kind insights to continue to get better! Happy holidays, and see you again!

The ambiance and service was amazing! 10/10 In fact 11/10, everyone was perfectly professional yet warm and welcoming. I loved having a bite at the bar and the kitchen before sitting down for our meal. That was so much fun. I looooved the soft R&B 90’s music. Tables are close to each other yet we never heard our neighbors. We never heard the bustling kitchen just steps away. I loved the volume of everything. So cozy and wonderful. Now on to the food. I must say I was surprised that I didn’t quite like anything. Everything was fine but not exciting. Flavor was lacking big time. Presentation was not lacking. Everything looked beautiful. My Rockfish felt wildly unseasoned. It was not flavorful at all and I usually really enjoy steamed fish. The bibibop was really beautifully done. I enjoyed that because of the fish and who doesn’t like bibibop but the bibibop at Hmart has more flavor, more depth. The kimchi lacked flavor. My Asian husband said it tasted like white people kimchi. I don’t disagree. The 7 grain jook was not enjoyable at all for me. The noodle dish was bland and the noodles did not hold the broth or any flavor. The desert tasted exactly like pops cereal. I can get that along with a scoop of ice cream at the grocery store. It was not new or exciting. I was hoping to excite my palate at Shia but that never happened. I wish the tiny desert cube duo was the actual desert because those were phenomenal. I enjoyed the drink pairings very much. Each course was gorgeously complimented by a nice Sojou, wine or other alcohol. Overall even tho I found the food to be quite underwhelming , I did love the experience because of the amazing ambiance and staff.

From beginning to end, the thoughtfulness behind each decision made was what really made this experience so worthwhile. Each chef and host/hostess was so present and personable; I’ve never felt so welcomed and “at home” at a fine dining restaurant such as this. The food was, of course, delicious and reiterated the homey feelings of being in our grandparents’ kitchens. Thankful to have experienced Chef Edward’s dishes and to have met him in person. He is just as kind as one would imagine him to be.

From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that every aspect of the dining experience has been thoughtfully curated. Taste, of course, is subjective. Overall, I found most dishes to be not only delicious but also innovative and intriguing. I especially loved the apple juk, lovely flavor profile and texture. One or two dishes that didn’t fully resonate with me were the bibimbap and the grain jook. While bibimbap is so iconic, it was a bit salty for my taste, and the ratio of rice felt slightly heavy especially given that the next dish was another rice-based course. Overall, an amazing experience. I’m grateful to Chef Lee and his staff for showcasing Korean cuisine in such a beautiful way. I’m excited to see how this restaurant continues to evolve. ♥️

12/10/24 didn’t know what to expect as we were hoping for chef Edward lee’s presence, but wasn’t banking on it. Soon as we walked through the door, there he was and our excitement just rose through the roof. First course at the bar was a mandoo with all sorts of flavor profile you never expect from a dumpling. Sweet, acidic, sour, umami, it had everything in a small bite to launch off your culinary adventure. We then were escorted into main dining room where we were able to have a closer look at their kitchen and have another bite sized deliciousness of Saam, which was so clean in plate and fragrance of sesame leave set the tone of Korean cuisine expedition. Third course, the soon tofu soup……. So unexpected, so refined, and clean taste, it was most unexpected flavor punch of the night and to me the favorite course of entire meal. After that, we got the chef’s version of bibimbop. Then comes a dish surprised me which reminded me of traditional duwein Jang Jo gae that has pungent smell of fermented soy bean, which I thought no way he would out this on fine dining but yes he did, and he did not hold back on full flavor profile of Jjang and as I was eating the fish I was so proud that the could represent a Korean dish in such fine tuned way. Then next course was main course od protein which can’t go wrong and it came for time for dessert which ended up being my 2nd favorite dish of the night as it had salty, sweet, sour, all types of flavor, but I never expected to get umami taste out of noo roong ji, which was a huge surprise for me. We were able to take picture with chef Edward Lee and see him in person which was a icing on top, but impeccable attention to detail on dining experience from Shia team has left us with unforgettable memory and experience. Special thanks to Joe for making us feel at home and experiencing Korean “Jung aka service” first hand going above and beyond to make this night to Rember an cherish.
