The décor of the restaurant has become impressive ever since the renovation. The inside of the restaurant is brighter and the smell of the KBBQ is less intensive with the installation of the new fans and lighting.
Now, the décor wouldn't matter if the food was bad but I can honestly say that their food is above average for their prepared meals. We have not tried their KBBQ so I can't review that aspect of the restaurant but in my 2 visits since the renovation, the Pork Bone Soup and the Donkatsu has been very good choices. I was particularly surprised with the pork katsu since it was so flavourful and moist. Also the pork had the right amount of breading. One of the better Donkatsu that I had in a Korean restaurant. It might be even better than Cho Sun Ok. Also they offer different variation of the Pork Bone soup with different ingredients of your choosing. Something to consider instead of just having a one standard version like in other restaurants. Their selection of banchan is very good and generous. They do not skimp out on their selection although their kimchi could be better.
In regards to service, I'm surprised to hear that other reviewers have found them lacking. In all of my previous experiences in this restaurant, which has not been documented previous to the renovation, lack of service was not something that we felt it was needed here. On our recent visits, the service was attentive and prompt when ringing the bell and also the speed of the food was fairly fast. Maybe we have just been lucky.
This is a very strong alternative place for Korean food when the other Korean restaurants in the area are closed or you just need to try something new.
