| - Frigid Wife, thy name is "Korean Waitress".
If I account for service at this restaurant it is easily a 1 star out of 5 review. But since I willingly chose a Korean restaurant and walked in with my eyes wide open, ofcourse I was already aware that service will be non-existent. What I wanted was CHEAP Korean food. Which means I also reluctantly want cheap Korean service.
The dolsot bibimbap came piping hot, was slightly better than average because they used some kind of fermented bean or fish in the spicy sauce flavoring. The bulgogi was pretty good and more than enough to take home for leftovers.
As for the side dishes, at first taste something felt "off" as if they were not "flavorful" enough (not enough sesame oil, not enough spice, not enough soy, not enough vinegar). But on second thought after conferring with my dining partner, we realized it's not "off", but in fact the side dishes were more akin to what you'd end up making at home if you were quickly tossing together some ingredients, and the flavor that was lacking is actually the "processed" flavor---one akin to what you get used to eating if you always buy korean side dishes premade and packaged in little plastic square containers and jars.
Service tips - don't use the buzzer button at your table if you need stuff: you can try it 1-2 times out of respect for the rules :) but get up, meander about, and look for your missing utensils, plates, bowls, chopsticks, takeout boxes yourself! It saves you the trouble of getting all in a huff about nothing significant, and also gives you a very good reason for tipping them less than they deserve.
