| - I really wanted to like this place. I came here for table top cooking experience with my family of four. We entered the restaurant and could immediately tell by the smell that the food was going to be delicious, but also that our clothes were also going to bring back a scent of our visit. There were numerous ceiling ventilation units, but none of which seemed to be on or working, strange...
We had a look through the menu but we already knew what we wanted, the Congbul! It's really affordably priced at $11.99 per person. While we were looking through the menu, a table for five (who were Korean) were seated next to us. We placed our order before they did. But somehow, their side dishes arrived at their table already. Still waiting on our side dishes to arrive, the table next to us, their table top entree was brought to them before ours. They had a nice pot of raw ingredients and started grilling away. From time to time I noticed the server assisted with their table top cooking.
Maybe 5-10 minutes later, we see another server come by and she delivers to our table all our side dishes, egg souffle, rice, seaweed soup. It was a lot on the table, it could barely fit really. Three minutes later, another server comes and delivers to our table a large casserole of congbul and places it on the gas stove, (but does not turn it on), and she said, it was ready to eat. I felt very confused that we were served an already cooked congbul. I came here because I wanted to experience slow cooking my meal, seeing it from raw to cooked, and for it to remain sizzling hot. I felt is was unnecessary to bring out the casserole pot if we were not going to turn the gas stove on... Why not just serve it on a plate? Looking left, right and centre, everyone else in the restaurant who ordered table top cooking had the ingredients served to their table and they were able to cook it. As well, I was pretty peeved as the guests sitting next to us who got their order before us (and were Korean), got to experience the table top cooking...everyone at their table was fricken sweating and peeling their clothes off and wiping themselves because of their hot ass food.
Don't get me wrong, our food was delicious and very plentiful... but it was not hot to the very end. The food was pretty much luke warm/room temperature. At the end I wanted to make kimchi fried rice. So I asked the server to add 2 more bowls of rice (additional charge of $2.00/bowl) and make for us kimchi fried rice. She was nice enough to do that for us. The gas stove was turned on and she started mixing the rice with our left over congbul in the casserole pot. It was good, food was hot again. I don't know, maybe it was a busy day for them or something, but I definitely felt my table was treated differently than Korean customers, and how our congbul was served was just plain wrong. Personally I would have liked to be treated equally as their Korean customers.
