MEET
둥지 [Dwoong-Gee] or Aery means a large bird’s nest. In Korean, it’s not only a birds nest, but it is the act of growing and nurturing an egg. All of us at Aery (Dwoong Gee), are all about cultivating and educating people about Korean food and culture. Our sister restaurant has been in the neighborhood for the past 15 years. We hope to bring the same kind of authenticity and genuinity as Ichiban. We are just here to make good food and feed your inner kid. Come and enjoy our soups or fried chicken or cool down with our Shikhae slushie. We are here for you.
