| - First and last visit here! High prices, tiny portions, skimpy on banchan... I can't even. We were most of the way through our meal when I asked my mom if she'd try the kimchi and she said no cause it looked sour, and I agreed saying it looked soggy and wouldn't try it... well, she tried it and made the most awesome NOPE face. Oh and, apparently I'm not to be acknowledged being half Korean and not being fluent in the language. Thank goodness mom is here to help me out and represent the table. We just got the check and my green tea was $5.. what? The most I've seen is $2 and that's if it's not included. Usually some kind of barley or green or black tea is available by default. But the rice was $2, just random. The menu, dude the menu was $38 for kalbi and japchae was at $21. Mind blown. The nangmyun was "okay," the la kalbi was bland and I kept finding bone spurs, very poorly cut meat.
Dae Jang Keum is the name of a very famous female doctor and chef in the Joseon Dynasty (some Korean history for you!). I think this place is trying to bank on its name and location (Chinatown near the strip) but the food portions and quality are low and the menu made me laugh.. out loud. The server was in the corner either picking her teeth or biting her nails and we didn't see her much bit after what I saw I'm okay with that. There are more people working in here than there are customers. Maybe it's a tourist trap, I'd rather drive further to better, and there's a lot better all around here. And yes, I am writing this on my phone in a booth in the restaurant.
