| - Let's see here, where should I start?
First off, if I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. I mean, I understand that there sometimes should be separate stars for food and service haha, just as a warning to people that the food may be okay, but the people you're trusting to bring it to you may not want to be nice to you in any way - and possibly go out of their way to be mean to you lol (ahem, What-A-Bagel at 9330 Bathurst Street and Mezza Notte near the CIBC on Yonge - YES JASON, WE REMEMBER YOU), but here, I think I would do 4 stars for the food and a gazillion stars for the service (and that averages out to something pretty high, right? haha)
Anyway, I've been here twice. Once for my sister's birthday (Jan 2012) and once with a small group of friends (Feb 2013)
The first time, it was amazing. We got in a bit before rush-hour dinner; there were lots of tables, so a reservation wasn't needed (fyi, i think this was a weekend too!)
We ordered sauce noodles, chicken bibimbap and japchae. i think i also ordered manduk too hahaha (we were really hungry...at that time, there was no spicy rice cakes, otherwise we probably would've gotten that too!) Good thing there wasn't, because between the 4 of us, it was a lot! We couldn't finish the noodles. everything was super yummy!! (esp the spicy chicken bibimbap :D)
While we were eating, our server was actually (i'm going out on a limb here bc i'm not korean and i don't understand korean BUT the relationship between the server and the person im assuming is the owner was really familial) THE SON of the owner dun dun dun.
He was always refilling our banchon and anytime we needed something, he was there with a concerned/friendly look on his face, ready to help. He heard me sneezing? Came by with extra napkins. He overheard my friend saying she loved a particular side dish? Brings a new one and takes away the finished one almost immediately.
What really made it special for my sister, was that he overheard us talking about how it was her bday so she shouldn't have to pay. He came over to collect the bill from us, and do you know what he did? He gave us a tray of frozen mochi balls.
"Dessert, to celebrate your birthday!" he says to my sister.
Let's just say we were floored. She's in hospitality and tourism, so she was like thumbs-upping this place vigorously haha
You'd think that was it, right? When we finished the mochi balls, he came by with another tray (the regular one, i'm guessing, bc we got this one the second time too) the one with the lollipops!
I immediately grabbed the green one, and there were only 3 left: 2 red and one blue.
Everyone complained that they wanted the green one; you know, in the dang, i wanted that one, but i'll settle for x-one.
He comes by the table with 3 more green ones.
now, there's a way to do all the things he did and say all things he said in a creepy way. but he just does it in a proper, i'm your server, please have a wonderful meal kind of way. I think that's what's so amazing.
the second time i came, i had made reservations bc 10 of my friends said they would come. Half an hour before the appointed time, about 5 people cancelled. I felt bad because they had prepared a beautiful private room for us.
I told him and he was like ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM, LET ME SET YOU GUYS UP IN A SMALLER ROOM. and he took us to another private room. service and food were great --- and now they've added dukbokki so everything is good in the world.
and seriously. he's just so wonderful lol
definitely go there!! :D
