| - Overall, I had a very unpleasant experience. I decided to check this place out because "Cafe Ga Hyang", which I was planning to go to, is now closed on Mondays.
When I walked in the restaurant, I was greeted by the sushi bar chef, but had no idea if I should seat myself or wait for someone. The restaurant was almost completely empty...there was only one other person dining in. Eventually a lady walked over and sat me down at a table with a menu. Then, the waiting begins...
Within a minute, I already knew what I was going to order, but unfortunately for me, the waitress had her back completely against me and was socializing with another waitress. They were chatting it up, laughing, and having a great time, while I was sitting there trying to get the other waitress' attention. At some point, the phone rang, and she walked over to the sushi bar area to pick up. I somehow thought that she would finally come over after the phone call, but instead she walked back to the other waitress to continue her exciting conversation.
I couldn't take it anymore and walked up to both of them and gave her my order. She did say "sorry", but I was still appalled at how unprofessional they were.
I ordered kalbi tang, which is something I usually get when I go to korean restaurants. It was overly salty and peppery and tasted like they added fish-flavoring to the broth. The beef was also tough. The banchan (side dishes) tasted very old; the kimchi was really weird. At korean restaurants, I usually ask for more side dishes, but in this case, I couldn't finish any of it. The best thing on the table was the white rice that came with the kalbi tang. I will not be back!
