My work colleagues and I went for lunch, having seen the pleasant reviews for this place. The table we were seated at was crooked and wobbly and my co-worker banged her elbow on the edge by accident. The waitresses ignored us for a good ten minutes before getting our orders. If the place was packed it would be understandable, but it was half-full at best.
The one redeeming point would be the food. The side dishes were okay, typical as in any other Korean restaurant around the local area. The tempura lunchbox was huge, bigger than most I've seen. But the batter was greasy and oily, even for shrimp tempura. The oily fragrance was so overpowering that my head was hurting after a while.
Despite these minor flaws here and there, it would have been fine overall. But we waited ten minutes after asking for the cheque and eventually we walked to the counter to pay and get out. We each paid individually and I paid the usual amount before the waitress stops me and says "...You're not paying for tip?" (I initially gave an extra dollar as tip, which seemed decent given how much we had to wait) But actually having the audacity to grab my sleeve and ask for a tip was insulting. I threw in an extra dollar but it felt more like charity than an actual tip for the atrocious service. My co-workers also paid extra after the waitress kept asking for more charity.
Long story short: this restaurant is on the blacklist. The abundance and general quality of food may have been the saving grace but the overall terrible service and disrespect for customers marred it all. The next time any waitress asks for more 'tip' I'll throw in a nickel, maybe.
