Well I have mixed feelings about this place. I'll start by saying what I love about this place is that you never have to wait to be seated as the place is almost always empty. On the weekend it gets busier but still they can easily accommodate a large crowd. Although the variety of items you can order pales in comparison to Hwaro, the meat is high quality and if you like kalbi like I do, it's worth it. The spicy octopus is fresh and packed with flavor. The japchae is delicious as well. What I don't like about this place is the service. The older lady always seems annoyed by our requests. They limit the number of items you can order at one rime, which is annoying when you have 9 people that want to order more than just 4 things. They also give you a HUGE potion of the cheaper meats like the brisket while skimp on the select cuts of meat like the short ribs. This annoyance makes the meal take longer because you can only order so much at a time. Also the service is similar to that of the DMV, mostly because even if you only have a party of two, they automatically add 18% tip to the bill. Yep the fine print on the sign at the table says parties of 5 or less there's a tip of 18% added. This is so annoying to me because the service sucks. Even if you're the only table in the place, you still have to hunt down your waitress at times. Will I be back? Probably if I'm super hungry and don't want to wait the line at Hwaro.
