| - I was nervous coming here after seeing the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's true the service is not friendly and they leave you on your own to figure out what to do. BUT the food was delicious, cheap and efficiently delivered. After being told that the wait at Seoul Chako was an hour for a late Sunday lunch, we decided to venture all 10 steps across the street. We were seated right away and yep, left to our own. Using our tourist smarts, we flipped through the menu and filled out the order sheet. Now, this place is busy, so the servers don't have time to come ask you how you're doing etc etc...you have to flag them down. We waved our order sheet around and BAM, 10 minutes later our stack of meat was dropped off at our table.
The food itself was actually really good - the meats were marinated and flavorful. My favorite dish was the bone broth. And they even had sushi and dessert! For $16 a person AYCE, it was a steal.
I don't think the servers mean to be rude - they're just rushing around, delivering new plates of food, cleaning up the ones you polished off and putting on new grills. They did mix up my order once..or twice..but oh well, it wasn't like I was paying extra for it. I left Montreal happy, full and wishing we had one of these in the States.
