Long review:
The service is just horrible. I eat a lot of Asian food so I am use to bad or non existent service, but this place is the worst of them all. The servers just waves her hand at us asking how many in an extremely rude way. While we were taking off our jackets and sitting down she just slams the menu on the table. After a few minutes we asked a different server to take our order, she didn't even ask us if we wanted the pork bone soup hot or mild. Before we could even tell her she ran off. Good thing she came back a minute later with the side dishes. We told her we wanted the soup to be spicy and she didn't even reply with a nod or yes. When we asked for a few extra bowls for sharing she kissed her teeth at us. Uhm, really? The worst part is, the place wasn't even full and when we were just finished the server slammed the bill on our table. I understand this is a Korean thing and I usually have no problems paying up and leaving if the place is packed and busy, but there was 5 other small tables that were empty!
Now let's talk about the disgusting side dishes. They have trays and trays of these side dishes already dished out and sitting on the counter uncovered for who knows how long. I find it extremely unsanitary and off putting especially when its the same direction as the washroom. The salad was just bad, the lettuce wilted and it was overdressed to the point that the dressing was falling off the lettuce when u try to eat it. The Kimchi was dry because it was sitting in the open for too long. The seaweed has a weird taste. Everything else was either overdressed or just tasted bad.
Kalbi was great, juicy, tender and good taste. Love the onions on the hot plate with a touch of sauce. Great when eaten with the rice. Would've been better if the side dishes were just as good.
Pork Bone soup is just bland and boring. We ordered the spicy so at least it had some heat to it. 1 piece of potato.
Bibimbap, this is one of those dishes u really can't mess up because it's just veggies, some meat, rice and hot sauce. While it's not bad, it's really not that great either. I've had better at other places and had the side dishes been better this dish would've tasted better with the sour veggies or kimchi.
I suggest to go to Owl of Minerva next door since their pork bone soup is much better and their service isn't bad either. All in all, I will not come back to this place for their bad service and bad food.
