| - Came in at 11am on a Thursday. Fair crowd, not fully busy, but not empty either.
We did the Level A tier AYCE - priciest of the AYCE. I was quite happy with the meat selection and quality of the meat. Personally, I thought the kalbi was worth getting the Level A. Quite a good cut of meat and flavor. Also really enjoyed the steamed egg and side dishes too although those seem to come out a little slower than the meat you order. Perfect amount of dukbokki which arrived at the table nice and hot. The cheese corn was quite nice too! Servers were prompt and tried to attend to us as much as they could. Preference was shown to customers who were an older demographic than us however (we were the youngest patrons at the time) - that was not an issue with me personally as the servers were attentive for the amount of traffic at the lunch hour.
Restaurant felt a little on the warm side. Granted, it was lunch time, we were seated by the window facing the front of the store, and we were having KBBQ - so I expect it to be somewhat hot. However, there was some discomfort in the general sitting area due to the heat.
What I did NOT appreciate was that the two female servers questioned our tip directly to us (they did not see the full amount left on the table and did apologize). They also spoke in Korean to each other about our 'lack of tip' assuming we did not speak Korean as my party ordered everything in English and spoke to each other in English.
Again, not an issue with the quality of food or the price of the AYCE.
But I don't appreciate being spoken about, in front of me, in a language that I am fluent in because of a mistake made by the staff regarding a tip that WAS left.
Sadly, that left a sour note at the end of a great meal.
