By now you've probably read Susan's review of this place and decided that it's so fantastic. Not so fast! Let's hear from one of us meat-loving non-Korean, never been to Korea types -- that's me.
+++PROS+++
1. Ingredients are definitely better than the AYCE joints, food is fresher
2. Nice decor. When I start to put decor as a 'pro' for a review, you know I am trying to be nice.
3. Don't listen to Susan, eat it with rice. Way better that way (screw tradition, it tastes good).
4. Lots of trimmin's
---CONS---
1. I could have eaten double what I ate. Though I didn't leave hungry, I didn't exactly leave satisfied. That's what I get for going with a bunch of pansy eaters.
2. If you're going to be a 'classy' Korean restaurant, you might want to fill up my tea within 40 minutes of me requesting it (did you not hear me the first two times?).
3. They have service bells there too that you just ring for service. It doesn't work, they won't come. They were nice, there just wasn't enough workers or they weren't very good at their job. I've had much better service at Xe Lua on Spadina. Not kidding.
4. Anything north of Eglinton (let alone Steeles!) really involves a fucking monumental trek. Is it worth the trip to Thornhill from downtown? No.
5. Parking lot is too small for the plaza, and it wasn't even busy. I imagine it being a disaster on weekends (think Pac Mall).
