| - The food here was not bad but the dining experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
We came as a group of 8 without reservations and were lucky to be seated right away. After spending some time looking through the menu, we ordered the following to share:
- Pork belly bbq: The best item we ordered. The pork belly was delicious and portion was generous.
- Thin sliced beef bbq: Got ripped off here for sure... this was expensive ($53.99 w/ soup combo) and I don't think the cut of beef given to us was even close to being worth it.
- Fermented soybean soup (combo w/ bbq): I never had fermented soybean soup before and I really enjoyed it. The fermented taste was really interesting and the soup was very tasty. I don't know if it's because we ordered it in a combo, but the amount they gave us was miserly.
- Spicy kimchi soup (combo w/ bbq): Tasty but nothing special. Again, portion was tiny.
- Spicy rice cake: Spicy so watch out! This was good but not memorable.
- Black bean noodles: Lack of black bean taste, definitely had better elsewhere.
Overall, food was okay. Some items are more expensive than they should be (this is definitely the case for the beef, which was just a frozen pile of cheap beef slices). BBQ portions are for two and if you order the combo with the soup, it's more than enough food for two.
On the other hand, service was frustrating (and that's an understatement). In the beginning, we were catered to by a man who I think is the owner, and he is certainly special because i have NEVER had a dinner where I was micromanaged like this. He started off telling us what we should and shouldn't order from the menu (how the hell do you know what we like and don't like?), and when we pointed to certain items we wanted to order, he had the gall to say we wouldn't like them because we won't be used to the taste. Again, how the hell would you know what we like and don't like? It was like he was belittling us, as if non-Koreans can't handle "authentic" Korean food. It got to a point where we were so fed up we just agreed to whatever he told us to order so he could shut up.
Of course, it didn't end there. When the meats came for the BBQ, he just HAD to show us how to cook the meat. If he saw us doing something he doesn't like, he literally took the tongs out of our hands and did it himself. Excuse me? Seriously? He basically hovered over our table for half the meal and he wouldn't stop saying how we're doing things wrong. He treated it as if it was our first time eating Korean food ever and his condescending attitude ruined everyone's moods to eat.
He eventually disappeared towards the end of our meal and it went from over-service to completely lack of service. We couldn't even flag down a waitress to refill our tea, and when we managed to get someone's attention, we were told they didn't have enough tea for us... while she was carrying a pot of tea.
If you would like to be treated like an idiot who can't cook for yourself or if you want a complete stranger to decide what you should eat and shouldn't eat, by all means, come here.
