| - So we're hit and miss in terms of value. My last review still stands. This time, I came with my parents, and we ordered two things. From the main dish section, we ordered the tempura moriwase ($14.99). We also ordered a grilled mackerel and seafood soft tofu stew combo ($15.99). I was assuming that with the rice included, it'd be enough food for the three of us. I was sorely disappointed.
My parents dropped me off so I could order while they ran a quick errand at Rona. I ordered and said that they could start making the food, as my parents would be there soon. I asked for tea, which they didn't just automatically bring out. They gave me one cup of tea, and a small bowl with six or seven pieces of edamame in it. Last time, with four people, they brought us a whole bowl full of edamame. I don't know whether they were thinking it was just for me or not, but they didn't bring any more out when my parents got there a few minutes later, so I don't know what happened there. We then had to ask for more tea. This was also when the lady said that she'd bring our order to the kitchen because our entire party was there. Clearly, she missed that I had asked for our food to begin cooking when I first ordered it.
The tempura moriwase came with 6 shrimp and an assortment of veggie tempura. It did not come with rice. This is odd, especially if it is considered a main dish. It was also served in an appetizer-sized basket. I was actually quite shocked. While there were six shrimp, they were not particularly large, and there were maybe seven pieces of veggie tempura in the basket. Totally not worth the price. It was good tempura, and I appreciate that there was more than one piece of broccoli, but I still wouldn't get it again. So disappointed.
The grilled mackerel and seafood soft tofu stew did come with rice, for which I am grateful. The grilled mackerel, contrary to the picture, did not come with a whole mackerel, but a mackerel fillet. This is fine. They have a disclaimer at the bottom of their menu that says pictures are for show only, and that the actual dish will not be a reflection of the picture. The mackerel was tasty, but nothing about it particularly stood out as exceptional compared to the other grilled mackerel fillets I've had at Korean restaurants. The soft tofu stew was fairly small. It was tasty, and the amount of seafood in the stew was decent given how little stew there was, but I am still struggling with the price of this. Oh. There was an egg in my soft tofu stew. That was a plus. The food in this combo I do not have a particular issue with, but the price for the food I received, I do. This combo is $11.99 at Oh Geul Boh Geul at Yonge and Finch. Sure, Gangnam Sushi gave me 5 of 6 side dishes, but so does Oh Geul Boh Geul. Actually, I think Oh Geul Boh Geul gives me more. The service is better there as well. I am thankful that our server at Gangnam Sushi refilled our side dishes, but that still doesn't justify the prices we paid.
Service here is very slow. One server taking orders, serving food, handing bills and cleaning tables is not enough, even when the restaurant isn't full.
I will still be back for their jeongol and I do want to try their pork belly bbq ($25.99), but I will not be back for the two items we ordered this time.
