| - I was really, really hoping I'd love this place, but I was very disappointed. The other night we went for late night snacks and here's how it went:
I ordered a coke, which wasn't listed on the menu but I assumed it wouldn't be more than $3. It came in a glass bottle like they serve a few doors down at the Vietnamese restaurant for $2.75, but Korean Cowboy charges $4.99!!!!!! That's outrageous. The food was totally not memorable. We ordered the kimchi rolls (nice presentation) but they were far too salty. The green tea infused pork came with a really wet, thinly sliced and sweetened daikon to use like a wrap for the pork. Eaten together it's good, but the pork on its own was on the salty side. We also ordered the "cheesy" rice cakes. There wasn't any cheese actually visible on the rice cakes. Normally you'd see melted cheese on this dish, but it really tasted like powdered cheese mixed into the sauce. I asked our server where the cheese was and she said you can't see it, but it's in the taste. And you could taste a sweet artificial cheese flavour, but I didn't like it very much.
The server was nice and you can tell they all have to hustle hard to keep things under control. However, trying to get the bill took forever and we felt ignored possibly because we weren't there to get drunk.
Maybe they're still working out kinks in the kitchen, maybe they really only value the alcohol sales. Overall, we won't be going back.
