Our second visit back to Sujeo. We had fond memories of this place and had liked the food. After this visit, we won't be back. We had 4 dishes. The first is their popular crispy chicken skin bao. 2 in a plate. This time, the skin was soaked in the spicy sauce. We all remember the first time we had it and the skin wasn't coated - just brown and crispy. Wait staff staff said it is always prepared like so. Didn't enjoy it as much. 2nd dish was the pastrami pho. Nice twist but the soup base was not impressive. Too bland and not the usual aromatic beef stock i am used to for pho. 3rd dish was KBC. I take that as Korean bbq or broasted chicken. Way too dry and spicy. Again chicken pieces were soaked in spicy sauce like the chicken skin. Every time i see food soaked in a sauce, I can't help but wonder if the food is not fresh so they masked it by soaking them in spicy sauces. 4th dish was grilled short short ribs with rice. Comes with pickled radish and kimchi. Decent taste.
Overall less satisfied than our first visit. Hope your experience will be better.
