| - The staff was very accommodating for our large party of 15 (this included one child and one baby). Even though we were about 45 minutes to and hour late, they still held our table, though they told us that this would cut into how long we had to sit, which was fine by us. We initially had three different reservations but somehow, we got lucky and they were able to put one extra table with the larger one so we could all be seated together. Score!
Food itself was disappointing as I had wanted to eat here (or the one in NYC) for a long time.
Ramen at $17 or $18 for a small bowl was definitely not worth it - Daikokuya and Santouka still remain my two favorites. We also ordered the Korean Short Ribs, which cost like $250!! It was crazy expensive. The meat was super tender but we each got like one or half a piece. Crazy. It's supposed to feed 6-8 but it is still way too expensive - again, getting this in Ktown is easier on the wallet and tastes better. Lobster was okay - nothing special. I did like the pork buns, which you order by the piece, and not sure it was worth $7 each. Someone ordered some kind of noodle dish, which we barely touched. It ended up being $110 pp, which was way too much for food that none of thought was great. Overall food/price would be two stars but I gave them another star for the service. Also, their cocktail menu is pretty limited - I didn't see anything I liked so I just asked the bar to make me something, which turned out fine.
I still love the cookies, though, which you can buy next door.
