| - Though I've only been here a handful of times, my friends are seasoned veterans, so I'm extracting a bit from their numerous experiences here to add to this review.
For a Wednesday night, Chez Bong was still pretty lively. When we arrived, there was no lineup, but there were only two free tables. The interior is cosy, and the decorations are very typical Korean restaurant. One of the key features is the TV on the wall playing Korean music videos. The washrooms could use a bit of work; apparently, the girls' is much better than the guys'.
We ordered japchae (13, I think?) and bulgogi (23), intending to share both plates among the two of us. The potato entree was finished quickly, and we were told that refills are $2, so we ordered another plate. I wasn't a huge fan of the kimchi, but it's never appealed to me in general, so I can't comment much on that. The bulgogi came within 15 minutes, but the japchae took about 30. Service was a bit slow in general, but the owner took off the price of the extra potatoes when we went to pay, and we didn't really mind in the first place.
Definitely a restaurant that keeps us coming back - in the end, the food is still satisfying and filling.
