| - I went there yesterday and I wanted to get the self-grill kalbi. I was told that there were no open grills even though there was one open. Just as the waitress said that, another table with a grill opened up and I asked if we could use either one. She said it was reserved and that we could order the kalbi dish that was EXACTLY the same except they cook it for you.
So we order, and not even 5 minutes later, a few tables with grills open up and for the rest of the night they stay open. They give some side dishes, and give us the main dishes and the rice. After eating a few pieces, we noticed that we don't have any lettuce, mix onions or bean sauce that usually come with the dish. We ask for the lettuce and they bring it to us. We ask them for the bean sauce and they give it to us. We ask for the green onions, and she says she doesn't understand(she had poor english). I mean, how can you not understand? It's the same stuff you bring out all the time, and sure enough a few mintues later she rolls out lettuce, onions, bean sauce to another table. Whatever, we're almost done eating. We ask for tea refill and we can't help but notice that other tables have many more side dishes and their own teapot. Well, the tea never comes until we ask again.
At the end, I ask the waitress how come we had less side dishes, no teapot, no lettuce, no onions, no bean sauce and she starts to explain how the self grill is a bit more expensive. I said she told us it was EXACTLY THE SAME and she keeps saying the self grill is more expensive. What about the stuff that's supposed to come with the kalbi?
Her: "Well, we serve Koreans different than others."
Me: "So you're saying that because I'm not Korean I'm being treated differently?"
Her: "Yes" with a smile.
Me: "Wow, I've never had someone be so directly racist with me before."
Her "manager" had already left so I couldn't talk to him/her, and I couldn't really be mad because the poor girl didn't even seem to understand half of what I was saying.
