the food here SUCKS. probably THE WORST KOREAN FOOD i've ever had. trust me - i'm korean and i know what korean food is suppose to be. i came here with my bf on thursday night, we were super hungry and decided to eat here. baldwin street was full of people wandering around, but this restaurant was completely empty when we stepped in until we stepped out. we should have known better - this restaurant has no customers for a reason!
the service was mediocre. they promptly bring you menu and tea, take your order immediately, and don't come bug you when you're eating.
side dishes were ok - we were given a fairly big bowl of kimchi, potatoes, some japchae, and pickled radish. sadly, side dishes were really the only thing edible here.
for appetizer, we got kimbap for $5. it had too much rice! and the standard kimbap always comes with some sort of meat (such as ham or beef), and this lacked it. it basically had yellow radish, spinach, carrots, and i think turnip. the portion was too small too.
then for main dishes, we got pork bone soup and jajngmyun (both $8). THEY BOTH SERIOUSLY SUCKED. i can't believe they call themselves a restaurant. honestly, the pork bone soup lacked that rich flavour (broth was watery), just tasted super salty, my bf really struggled through it and left half of it. for my jajangmyun, they used udon noodle instead of the legit jajangmyun noodle, stir fried the sh*t out of the noodle that it was freaking overcooked and gross. it was just salty, no flavour, terrible quality of sauce and noodle. we were so disappointed and grossed out. my bf is not a complainer. but even he couldn't take the food here.
i can't even go on about how bad the food is at this place. i'm not sure if it was just tonight, but a restaurant needs at least a minimal level of consistency in the quality of their food. i can't believe we chose here to eat, when so many better options are available around the area. yes it's cheap, but it was so bad that i'd be pretty offended if someone gave me this food FOR FREE. avoid this place at all costs.
