| - This is really a 2.5 in my book. I was excited for this restaurant to open because I love Korean cuisine (I had already drafted my review with 5-stars), but I was not impressed.
The setup and ambiance fits perfectly into the flare of South End. However, it can get a little crowded and confusing if you're trying to order to-go, as there's not a good flow (we'll count that to the newness). The menu is pretty straight forward and the prices represent the surrounding area, so keep that in mind before going all out.
I initially wanted to give the Korean Wings a try, but I decided to try the Beef Bulgogi Box and that totaled to $12.87... a little steep for lunch, but I figured what the heck! The cashier was nice and the other employees seemed to be smiling, so that counted towards the meal being worth it (maybe?Idk).
I was provided a number and waited at the small table facing the window. I wasn't quite sure how I would know my order was ready, as there was not an announcement. I soon learned that there was a young lady with to-go orders going around to each person with a number to give them their order (there's room for improvement with that process, but again let's count it to the newness). Once I received my order, I was out of the door 15-20 minutes tops... which is typical for any busy lunch area.
My disappointment came when preparing to enjoy my lunch. The Beef Bulgogi box is a very small portion for the price. The serving size could fit in my hand (by healthy standards that's a good thing, don't get me wrong... but I wasn't aiming to be healthy lol) and I probably would have let all of this slide had the taste been worth it. The beef taste as if it was grilled and tossed in soy sauce, then called Korean; very Americanized. Not to mention, once I started eating I realized that the beef consisted of more fat than actual meat.
I cannot say that I will be trying this place again any time soon, but I am not going to count them out. By all means fellow Yelpers, go support this local business and provide your feedback, as your experience may be much better than mine. I simply look forward to the improvements.
