Not sure why this place was rated 4.5 stars. I expected so much more from this place since not many places have a 4.5 star rating. I can be pretty extreme with my ratings, but my friends who I came here with agreed with me on this one.
Upon entry, we were seated at a booth which consisted of wooden tables and benches. The benches were not friendly to our tushes as it was hard and unenjoyable. It was made of two separate pieces of wood so that there was a gap running in the middle lengthwise. The two pieces of wood were not even on a plane, so you can only imagine how uncomfortable our dining experience was. Aside from this the decor was very modern with an open ceiling and cool lights affixed up top.
The service was what killed it for us. We arrived at noon and didn't get our meals until past 12:30. They apologized for the wait and was really professional about it, but it definitely took away from our overall experience.
The food was kinda bland in my opinion. I ordered the beef kimchi tofu soup and the broth was not as flavorful as ones I've tasted before. I tasted my friend's bibimbap and that was pretty bland too. My friend mixed in all the sauce it came with and he said he's had better. Sucks that this place only deserved two stars because I was the one who recommended it to my friends. Be wary of what the ratings say on yelp. Time to take this one off from my bookmark list.
