I really don't even want to give it 3 stars. We came in at 7:47 PM last night and there was a party of two ahead of us and then us, also a party of two. We waited literally 25 minutes in the narrow doorway and literally nobody ever spoke to us. It was super crowded mind you, but it wasn't until I walked all the way in that noticed there was two empty two seat tables....
So everyone finally gets to sit. It wasn't until we had literally been in the restaurant for over an hour that we finally got to order and another 40 minutes before we would eat.
My partner got the spicy noodle soup that she swears vehemently taste just like a certain brand of Japanese instant soup she likes. I got the beef & rice in a clay pot. Having lived in a very Korean part of China (Dalian) most of my adulthood I was super disappointed. It was bland, no real flavor past the egg and there was nothing spicy about the sauce. I was super disappointed especially given the fact that I waited under the impression that it worth the wait...that was unfortunately not the case
And anyways... $40 for two people with no alcohols (or drinks of any kind!) or appetizers is a bit much!! We both ended up snacking by bed time :(
