| - This HAS been my go-to place for korean food. They only take cash which sucks, and they have an atm inside. I've been there many times after a good dirty drunken night at the dance cave.
HOWEVER...
Last night I did not have a good experience here. We came in as a group of 4 and were seated immediately, there were about 3 other groups there.
Usually when you have more than 3 people, you get a larger sides of banchan. We were given 3 tiny little dishes with no kimchi or plates. As a Korean, I know how some of our people can be, and it seemed to me that they made this assumption (about not wanting kimchi) because I was the only asian person in the group... I tried several times to get the attention of the waitstaff, and they both (two men) walked by me several times ignoring me. When I finally asked, the waiter said "You'll get plates when the food comes." ..umm what? I asked him for plates and he basically said no. Then he and the other waiter stood at the back of the room, texting and talking bullshit. If a customer asks for plates, fucking bring plates. It's not that hard.
The food came shortly after and the waiter brought the kimchi along with it, after we asked for it. We all got very tiny little bowls as dishes, and once again, for the bill and the take away box, we had to try to get their attention multiple times.
This experience left me feeling uneasy and embarrassed that I brought my friends to this restaurant. The waiters were complete dicks, and I got the feeling they didn't like our group because we were of mixed ethnicity. All of the other seemingly Korean people in there got large dishes of banchan and better service.
