| - Solid 4 stars. The food quality is a decent 4, but the service was a crappy 2-3 star. I decided to give it a 4 due to the cleanliness of the place and neat use of iPads for ordering/paying. This restaurant caught me by surprise as they had some technological equipment.
I went during dinner and for the price of $19.99, you can't really complain too much. This is dirt cheap (well, not as cheap as SoCal) and will definitely be a great place after a workout or if you're just feeling super hungry/hungover. For a party of two, we waited about 40 minutes. Instead of waiting at the restaurant, the hostess took our number information down and said we'd get a text message when our table was ready. Loved this concept. I forgot which platform they used, but great job!
The quality of meat was fairly decent for all the beef dishes. I hated cooking the shrimp, but that was me. There was a mix-up in the beginning and they delivered plates that weren't ours.
No worries.
Appetizers (included in the price): I tried their popcorn shrimp and it tasted kinda stale. The fried squid legs were OK. I was not a fan of the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) as it tasted like Panda Express's orange chicken that was left outside for hours. The edamame wasn't that great either (seriously, how can you mess that up?!)
Service was really slow and our waiter looked consistently overwhelmed. It was clear he couldn't manage the number of tables. Once a server comes to your table, they enter your orders into an iPad Mini and the order gets sent straight to the kitchen. Servers would then bring you your orders within minutes, which was awesome. It seemed super efficient at first, but that's only if you got your waiter's attention.
Pro-Tip: Order all your dishes in advance because the turnaround time for ordering dishes is unpredictable. They also replace your grills too periodically, which was good. I was slightly confused why they didn't pre-grease their grills as our meats got constantly stuck on there.
Overall, this place was a solid 4-star restaurant that I wouldn't mind going again.
