| - My friend and I visited this place after I had read the reviews on Yelp. 4 star review average suggested that we should try this place out. Little did we know that this was a horribly overrated place.
Firstly, the food took /so long/ to arrive. And it wasn't like they gave us our side dishes to tide us over while we waited. We waited at least 10-15 dishes for our side dishes to arrive. And when they did arrive, there were only three side dishes: Radish, kimchi and some unknown radish that was gross and we barely touched. They didn't even have bean sprouts! What kind of Korean restaurant doesn't offer bean sprouts as a side dish?! They told us because their bean sprouts side dish alternates between the gross yellow radish as one of four possible side dish types. I couldn't believe it. Side dishes are integral to the a good review for Korean restaurants, in my personal opinion! They're the main charm of Korean restaurants! They did offer an onion pancake though, which was OK, nothing spectacular, but for a Korean restaurant to not offer the bean sprouts, that was just unacceptable.
Secondly, the service was poor. Besides the food taking incredibly long to arrive, there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant on a Friday evening. It was incredibly difficult to get her attention. And like one reviewer had mentioned, she didn't speak English, which is understandable, as it is a Korean restaurant, but I would have appreciated a waitress on standby that could understand English. Oh, and when she did come to our table, she was to refill our tea cups. I didn't understand why the tables didn't have any individual teapots for each table. And if they didn't, why was the tea she poured cold? I just felt like hot tea on a cold winter evening is a pretty basic requirement. Should my expectations been even lower and just expect water next time instead?
Thirdly, the dishes we chose were mediocre at best. The bulgolgi dish cost quite a bit for very little portion. And it tasted nothing out of ordinary to me. My spicy white fish stew was OK. It was a big portion, but they didn't take the bones out of the stew, which sort of cheapens the experience. It felt like I could have made it at home - chop up some fish and throw it in a watery soup base - because the very least they could do was take out the bones of the entire fish before throwing the pieces into the stew, instead of having their customers slowly take out their fish bones piece by piece.
Anyway, I would never come back here again, and have already advised my friends to stay clear from this place.
