| - Very disappointed. I waited nearly two hours for seats and was amazed at how poorly this restaurant was organized and managed. I've been to several Korean Yakinikus and I can honestly say this restaurant is NOT up to par.
First off, the ambience and restaurant setting. It takes nearly an hour and a half to get seats during "peak hours". When you are finally jostled in, the first thing you'll realize is how tight and uncomfortable it is. The restaurant is poorly lit, cramped, and you'll often be stuck sitting next to a large party on the center tables. Unfortunately, on all three occasions I've been there, my "table mates" were all discourteous, raucous and unpleasant. Now, the entire blame doesn't go to the restaurant, but they are partially to blame because of the poor table layout!
Second off, the food was mediocre at best. My wife and I ordered the kalbi and bulgogi, which are staples in Korean cuisine. The kalbi was overly sweet, like someone accidentally dumped an extra cup of sugar in sweet! The bulgogi was flavorless, as if it weren't seasoned at all! The meat is clearly not fresh and not marinated properly.
Finally, the servicing. The waiters and waitresses are obviously over inundated with work. It took me nearly two minutes to get a waiter's attention and another five before they delivered my beer! There are no ways to call their attention with a button (as is the way in nearly every Yakinikus). The only way you can get their attention is if you wave frantically and call them over. It's embarrassing and inefficient. Terrible service.
The only thing this place has going for it is the pricing. $25 for an all you can eat for two hours isn't a bad deal, but what good is decent pricing if the product and service are poor?
Highly recommend that you avoid this place!
