| - I must say that every time I crave Korean BBQ, I go to Woonam Jung but I'm not always completely satisfied, because of the food but mainly because of the service.
I believe they brought out 5 different kinds of side dishes but I didn't really enjoy any of them besides the cabbage salad. Most of the time, I don't even touch them and only enjoy the bean sprouts with my meat.
As far as the quality of meat goes, the brisket is always pretty much consistent across the board with most restaurants so no complaints there. The pork belly is very thick and my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it. The steak is also thick and juicy. However, I ordered the bulgogi and it had a funky smell to it and was very dry and sweet. I don't think that I'll be ordering that if there is a next time.
The biggest downfall for me is the service. Most of the time, I get done with all of the meat on the platter and often find myself sitting there for up to 15 minutes, waiting for a waitress to come by so I can get her attention to order more food. Also, I don't know if it's because I am Korean and always come here to eat with my Caucasian boyfriend but they often "forget" to give us certain items such as the sauce for the brisket unless asked. This is a pattern I have noticed (and have been told to do when I worked at a Korean BBQ restaurant) with other Korean BBQ restaurants.
For the price, I think that the lunch prices are reasonable but the dinner price is a little too expensive for me to eat BBQ on a regular basis. Cumulatively, for the food and the price, Woonam Jung will do for now but hopefully I can find a better Korean BBQ restaurant soon.
