| - I'd give this place a 3.5-4.
Hesitant because of the service here. When I went here for my first time, I had a guy that's worked here for about 2 years or so, and he was friendly and knew his sh*t. But, there were some servers there that just looked miserable. For example, the Asian girl that came to run our food just looked like she was not happy to be there or bring us out food or something. FFS, you're in the service industry and you work at a restaurant with AWESOME food. Why so glum, chum? Maybe, it's because they're really pretentious and smiling is not cool enough or something. Maybe some of the un-friendliest (not a word, but gonna use it) servers I've had... def on the list there. Even Jack Astors has nicer, upbeat, smiley servers and I'm not a fan of Jack Astors. Anyway, there was no reason to be miserable around us because we ordered a lot of food, and some drinks and I believe the tipping system there is tip pooled, so just by being in a crappy mood to another table, it could mess up her tip.
Anyway, most of the ratings goes to the food. Great food, tried the braised beef with mustard seeds and some sort of salad - SO GOOD. port tacos, shrimp tempura with the chili mayo, lobster bibimbap, chapchae, and a bunch of more stuff. The guy was so kind to ask the kitchen for dessert because they didn't have any on the menu or that day or something... The dessert was great.
Cocktails were great, the peach one (forget the name but it's a bit carbonated too) is sooooooooooo good.
Even though we got a crappy vibe from some of the other servers, we still tipped over 20% because our server guy was really nice, and the food was really good and we were very satisfied when we were done.
PS. came in the other day thinking that they were closed at 5 and waited for someone to come out and seat me, they let me wonder around for a minute without telling me that they were closed and once I started seating myself they said something. JUST WEIRD YOU KNOW? It's not that I have anything against female servers at all, it's just at that place, these female servers are the worse man! Would still come back for the food though. So good.
