The price range should probably be $$$, given the main dishes are usually a minimum of $20 dollars while the rest are $30-$40. While the portions are large, I certainly don't think it's worth the money. I got some chap chae with beef for about $20 dollars, the portion was huge -- big enough for multiple people if need be. The only problem was that the majority of the dish was vegetables, there was a reasonable amount of noodles, but not enough, while there was barely any beef. The little bits of beef that were there did taste pretty good, so I was fairly disappointed there wasn't more.
My friend ordered some bibimbap that he said was pretty dry. I didn't try it myself but I can say it didn't look too good. They gave him a sort of sauce to eat with it but it tasted more like chilli sauce than anything else, so he didn't bother. I also ordered some dumpling soup as an appetiser (which didn't come early; it came with the rest of our food), not knowing that my chap chae would be so large; the dumplings were essentially tasteless and in a giant bowl of something similar to miso soup.
As for service, I found the waitresses didn't really listen to us. They'd kind of space out after asking questions. When we first sat down, a woman came to ask us if we'd like drinks to start. We asked for water. Two minutes later, a second waitress came to ask the same thing, and when we tried to explain to her that someone had already came for us, she said "okay" and then just stood there waiting for us to order drinks.
To be honest, I feel like this place would be a lot better if you went as a group and only if you were going for teppanyaki. We didn't have the teppanyaki ourselves but that side of the restaurant certainly looked more interesting. But honestly, my experience was bad enough for me to be far too reluctant to go back and try the teppanyaki.
I would recommend trying somewhere else if you're looking for good Korean.
