| - Sooooo dissapointing! I'd been wanting to visit this place for a while and finally got my chance on a recent Sunday afternoon. When I walked in, I was surprised to see that it was nearly deserted. But since this was my first visit, I was also happy because it gave me more time to linger over the menu options. Good Start!
When I was ready to order, I moved to the register, and was glad to see an employee already standing there, waiting for me. I started telling her what I wanted -- "One Spicy Korean Beef Noodle bowl, One Alfredo Monta--". She cut me off mid-sentence to yell down to
the other end of the counter to ask one of the guests who had approached what he needed.
After a conversation with him, she finally turned back to me and just stared at me -- no words. I wasn't sure how much of my order she'd captured before she was distracted, so I started over, which resulted in her giving me a second Beef Noodle bowl that I didn't want. It was corrected once I realized what she'd done, but I couldn't help but think that if she'd let me finish giving my order before she'd interrupted for the other guest, then maybe the confusion wouldn't have happened at all.
While waiting for my food to be prepared, I started looking around the dining room. Several tables were dirty, one had a few noodles sitting on it, others had scraps of paper on them, one had a cup. They obviously needed to be wiped down from previous customers. I saw 3 employees while I was there, one taking the orders and 2 preparing the food. Since there was no one behind me in line, and only a handful of customers, I wondered why the place wasn't cleaner.
Finally -- the food. Portion sizes were good, presentation was nice, but all 3 items -- Korean Beef Noodles, Alfredo MontAmore, and the potstickers were blah. They reminded me of something you get in the
frozen food section of the grocery store and then take home to microwave. You know the ones where the picture on the box looks amazing, but the taste is just "meh"?
Yea, it was like that. My teenage son, who's a big pasta lover, suggested that we skip this place any time we want noodles in the future. That's saying a lot because I think that that kid would eat cardboard if it had cheese sauce on it. So, needless to say, but we won't be back any time soon.
