| - *sigh* this place.....where to begin?
I went here a few nights ago with some friends and had a disaster of an experience. The first hint was when i was walking in (a little after 7PM), I noticed the sign said 'closed'. I knew my friends were in there waiting for me, so I walked in and found their table. Once I sat down, my friends promptly told me how the waiter was turning everyone who walked in down and saying something about 'not having enough food'. There were only about 3 other tables with people and the every other table was empty.
We waited for about 15 minutes before the 'server' came over to take our order. He struggled really hard to take our orders. He didn't know the menu, he asked us to repeat our orders several times, and subsequently wrote our order on 4-5 Post-it notes and stuck them to the wall. At the same time I ordered something I couldn't pronounce so I used the numbering system they provide on the menu. He promptly told me that he didn't know the menu so I attempted to say the name at which point he told me that he 'wasn't Korean'. Okay? Not sure why that matters to be honest because you are the server at the restaurant and should be familiar with the dishes offered and their names. But whatever, moving on.
As we waited for our meal, we continued to watch the server turn down customers. Our food came out, was haphazardly placed on the table. One of my friends orders was completely wrong. In addition the server forgot to bring rice out for the dishes and the 'sides' you ask? Oh he just placed them on another table and forgot about them. So we had to go get the side dishes ourselves. The rice came out about 15 minutes later.
Most my friends did not enjoy their meals. I got some kimchi and pork dish which I thought was tasty, but I tried some other dishes and they were pretty 'meh'. Too sweet, not warm enough, etc etc.
Anyways we finish our meal and are closing out this restaurant at 8PM. We asked to split the check (we had asked in the beginning and thought that's what the Post-It notes were for) and he told us that it was 'too hard' to do it at the table and to come up to the cash register and tell him what we ordered. This experience took 10 freaking minutes. Several people repeated their orders and he just couldn't figure out how to ring them up. It was a mess. In the end, my husband and I ended up paying a suspiciously high bill and just gave up.
So overall, avoid this place or order take-out if you can. Regardless, it's overpriced and poorly run. The food is mediocre at best.
