| - I have fond memories for Sikgaek, as I had a very pleasant experience at here before. Unfortunately, this time simply did not compare. The food was decent, but the service was pretty poor.
I absolutely love their banchan, particularly their pickled radishes and seasoned bean sprouts. In the past, they were very kind and perfectly fine with us requesting seconds; however, this time, the waitress had quite a bad attitude when we did so. She was also fairly slow at providing essential items (e.g., napkins).
Food wise, the quality had remained mostly the same. Their fried chicken is still very crisp and not greasy by any means, and is a very generous portion. We ordered a whole fried chicken with the spicy sauce on the side, and the chicken was very juicy with a crisp batter.
I also tried their soybean soup, which arrived with a delicious fragrant smell of seafood. There were many tiny pieces of octopus in the broth, but I was sad to see only one shrimp in the soup.
My dad got the gamjatang or pork bone soup, and his main complaint was that there were many bones, but not much meat at all.
We may still return, but I'm beginning to prefer Song Cooks, as it has more variety and service appears to be more consistent there.
