I should totally overzealously endorse this place with a fervent unhealthy bias since it's Korean-owned & operated & I'm of (as far as I know) MOSTLY Korean ancestry & parentage but it was a total scam. I cannot tolerate spicy food yet their food wasn't spicy enough even for my wimpy-assed taste buds. My spice assassin sister was understandably peeved beyond comprehension. The Pork, Squid, Chicken saute was highway robbery at $18.99. No hibachi (arrived at our table already plated with no char-grill lines-- for all I care it could have been microwaved as the squid was overcooked to a tough Doc Martens shoe level of unchewability), no side dishes, no rice, not saucy enough for mixing rice into ANYWAY... Honestly, WTH? For almost $20 before tip I expected extras & a little effort towards common courtesy/ingenuity/creativity or cute attempt at any type of garnish whatsoever (even the lowly sesame seeds, diced scallions or seaweed flakes) to secure a return visit in the future. I sorely wanted to give them the chance to redeem themselves. My standards are not that high & I was too hungry to give a damn. However, the wait staff were very inattentive & I had to call them 3-4 times to refill my glass of water & for the bill. I still can't get over how oily our order was! I was cheating on my diet but I didn't want to downright tank it (like I did that night). I will never get over how bad their sauce was. Half-assed ddeokbokki sauce I make in a hungry panicked stupor tastes a billion times better. Should I open a restaurant? UGH! Ghastly. Appalling. Do not know what the hype is about. Who recommended this place to me & why in the bloody blazes of hell did I go?
