| - The short answer: this place was bad for food and service.
The explanation:
We ordered kimchi fried rice and their sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. The kimchi fried rice was very greasy and didn't actually have much kimchi in it. When we ordered the fried chicken, we were given the options of bone-in or boneless. Thinking that bone-in meant dark meat that would be juicier, we went for that. Unfortunately, the chicken took forever to come. We had already eaten (at a very slow pace) the kimchi fried rice and were done for about 5 minutes before the chicken came - I thought they had forgotten the order or were in the back still plucking the feathers off a chicken. I mean, how long does it take to throw a bunch of chicken pieces in a deep fryer? Well, things didn't improve from there. The sauce was not spicy and was mainly sweet, not at all a complex set of flavours. And to my extreme disappointment, our basket of chicken contained all sorts of unidentifiable parts, white meat, and just two or three drumblets and wings. Many of these parts were inedible as they were all bone and the white meat was dry. All this for $18 (we ordered the large)?! I call it a rip off.
About their service: A man came in at one point, asking if he could take a booth. The waiter said that only two or more people could sit there. The restaurant was completely empty at the time, so it was unfair that the man couldn't sit anywhere he wanted. To further their ungraciousness, we asked for more napkins given the sticky fried chicken we were eating. They gave us exactly one extra napkin each. Stingy much? Finally, they were not attentive. I had to go to the counter to pay because they seemed to have forgotten us and didn't clear the table or bring the cheque.
