As Korean cuisine is evolving around the world, we are seeking to bring that to the greater DC area.
More than just a restaurant, this is a passion project seeded in enjoying evolved Korean flavors together.
We want to infuse Korean cooking concepts as well as flavor profiles into our offerings for a unique, but surprisingly familiar dining experience.
While we respect fine dining culture, we too seek
to provide nuanced but profound flavors into thoughtful presentation.
But above all, we want our guests to go home feeling fully nourished.
Let’s get to know each other.
Our culinary team’s ethos is to present, listen, and then evolve with you.
So our first round of dining experiences center around showing guests what modern Korean cuisine means to us, and then listening to your feedback, and using that to refine the next round of experiences.
Our first Chapter residency will be hosted by American Prime in Tysons Corner.
We are eager to push the boundaries of what Korean cuisine can be, but like with all things in life, it’s a process.
Every few weeks, we will be evolving our offerings to go from intriguing while comfortable, to new and exciting.

In Korean, the term is 첫선, a first meeting of sorts. Chapter 2 of our story together focuses on the synergy of proteins and vegetables, which is the heart of most of Korean foods’ best bites.
We want our guests to come in with an open mind and palate, and the surprises forthcoming are part of the fun. And if you are looking at this site, you already know who is behind this project, so you know you are in good hands.
As we prepare for for our permanent opening, we are conducting residencies with various restaurants in the area. Our first will be at venerable steakhouse American Prime in Tysons Corner.
Sundays represent the perfect day of the week for our cuisine. Good food paired with good company leads to time well spent. We will be continually expanding out service times.
We love some grilled brisket as much as the next person, as we’ve had a hand in helping many of the Korean BBQ restaurants that you know and love prosper. But there is so much more to Korean food, and we feel the need to share that is our priority.
All of our sauces are infused and fermented for months, and are now in the process of developing celiac accommodating versions, so we will let you know as soon as they become ready.
The eyes will deem the food familiar,
but the palate will soon signal an unexpected experience.
Upon receiving your request, we will send you an email confirming availability shortly.
Even though our Chapter 2 seatings are coming to an end, leave us your email address or connect with us on Instagram to stay informed on September’s Chapter 3 menu/reservations which will be debuting soon.
We are so grateful for all of your interest.
