Place is small, only 12 seats, with a huge hype. But instead of having a long line, they have a cool system of scheduling:
You take a number telling you what time you are supposed to be seated. Meanwhile, you can go on your business.
It took us 4 hour to be seated (!) and we were quickly seated when arriving on scheduled time.
Totally worth it.

It’s definitely an intimate space but that adds to the vibe. When you first get there, you’ll have to get a ticket from the ticket machine (which is near the entrance) and then come back at the allocated time and queue up again. We waited for about an hour and a half but the food is definitely worth the wait.
