So I finally returned to this wonderful Korean outpost and I can happily say my main concern was addressed (this time we got spectacular service) and the food was as good as ever.
Fair warning though they mean spicy! I got sweet and spicy pork ribs and was reveling in their volcanic glory when my companion got his ribs and the waiter said "watch out those are really hot."
They were like experiencing Pompeii first hand with your tongue; except delicious and not ashy.
I do have to wonder if the service was so good because the staff wanted to see if they'd successfully murdered us with Korean Spicy Goodness...
