As the 2nd person to review this restaurant, I have to say two things. It's sad to hear that Lakina had such a bad experience, and I came here only once in the summer of 2007 but I had a good meal. Did the service lack a smile or timeliness? YES. But the bulgogi and kalbi were both prepared deliciously and the food overall made me think I'd come back again at some point.
It's actually funny now that I think about it. I think I was overlooked for a table as well. I remember thinking, HEY! What about our group? We were here first!
But I thought, maybe these people have reservations or something.... Maybe we should go back here and test them and see who, if any us, would get sat first!
