| - A great restaurant needs to have both amazing food and terrific service. The food at Sujeo has been consistently wonderful. Unfortunately, the service has been inconsistent on our visits, and today's was downright unacceptable.
We came here to have brunch for Mother's Day. Our reservations were for 12:30, and we walked in right on time. The restaurant was less than half full, which surprised us for both graduation and Mother's Day weekend. The host came over and took drink orders. He was a bit of a low talker, and I actually thought he asked how we were doing. The server (Luna) came over after a bit, and asked if we'd like to start with anything. We ordered the brussel sprouts and an order of the fried rice.
While we received the brussels sprouts fairly quickly, we did not get the fried rice until more than a half hour later, which seemed later than what it should have been. I was surprised we even got the fried rice - at this point, we all assumed Luna had forgotten it. More than an hour after we were seated, our mains finally arrived and they were delicious. We had the rockfish, japchae, miso ramen, and bibimbap. There was confusion about who was going to bring the check to us (server vs host), which seemed pretty indicative of the service issues we encountered.
Overall, we were disappointed in our time there. Until the service at Sujeo improves, I can't see us returning for some time. This is unfortunate, because we love the food so much.
