| - Visited here recently for a late dinner all you can eat authentic Korean BBQ. Overall, an extremely disappointing experience with average food and terrible service.
Located by Christie on Bloor, Jangwon looks fairly standard for a Korean restaurant. We ordered the full all you can eat menu which was $20.99. This meant you would get access to 4 types of meat (pork belly, pork neck, bulgogi, and beef) soup, rice and side dishes. The food was average in my opinion but definitely much better than Chinese BBQ places like Korean grill house and Chako. This was authentic after all. The meat was good but not outstanding in term of quality (I don't think you should be expecting anything more at an ayce.)
The service however was probably one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant in Canada. First off, when we entered the restaurant we asked an older female server for a table. She, for sure seeing us completely ignored us. That was okay because we were able to wave down another younger male server who helped us with a table.
We were seated in a booth (which contributed to the crappy service we got due to the lack of visibility). We probably waited 15 minutes with no one attending to us to take our orders. I actually sat looking out of the booth trying to wave someone over (had to do this throughout the night). I'm sure I was ignored multiple times. And when I say ignored, I mean the servers would look over to you, make eye contact and proceed to walk away and not come back. We ended up trying to wave down the one younger male server the whole night who actually acknowledged us. At one point we asked for additional lettuce, soup and meats and the female server actually asked us (while not paying attention/looking away from us) to pass her all the empty plates - when they were completely within her reach. I honestly thought that the service wasn't just crappy but down right disrespectful at one point during my night.
I definitely won't be visiting again.
