Food: 2 stars
The second star really is for the abundance in side dishes (banchan). None of the side dishes were outstanding but it's nice to have a variety. My boyfriend ordered the jab chae rice. It was a little on the sweet side but it was a good portion and it was alright (at least he didn't complain about it). My mom ordered the beef ramen and there were literally 2 small shriveled up pieces of beef. I'm surprised they actually served that to our table! We kindly asked for more beef to be served on the side. I got the gamja tang ramen and I was super excited for it too because that's two of my favourite things together! Why didn't more Korean restaurants think of this?! Or maybe I just haven't been to the right ones. Higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment. Firstly, not much meat on my pork bones and they weren't tender at all. I have read in other reviews that there was a lot of meat so maybe opt for the gamja tang without ramen? Most disappointing was the lean meat. Healthier option, but I wouldn't be out eating gamja tang ramen if I was looking to improve my diet.
Ambiance: 3 stars
Clean and brightly lit. Don't remember seeing any booths. Simple decor.
Service: 2.5 stars
SMILE, PEOPLE! I don't know if it's just that waitresses have terrible days or most of them hate their jobs at Asian restaurants. You don't have to be outright nice and polite but a small smile makes a difference. All I can say is, service wasn't bad and our waitress did what she needed to do.
