| - I've been going here for over 5 years now and I have to say - it's not as much of a value as it used to be; though to be honest, I could still be bitter by the hike in prices in the last year. That being said, their kamjataang is still the best I've had uptown and all you can eat (ayce) of that glorious spicy pork bone soup is just something I begrudgingly pay additional dollars for time and time again even though I know its true price in the beginning.
Even better than the flavour of the pork bone soup is their kamjataang ramen which was added to the menu earlier this year. It comes with a spicy flavourful broth that's similar but not exactly like the kamjataang that I've come to know and love but BETTER because it has ramen (cooked perfectly with that "chew" in every noodle) in it! Full disclosure: I am in LOVE with all things ramen (yes, even the packaged kind) so again, I may be slightly biased but all who have tried this dish with me agrees. Only bad thing about this ramen is the fact that unlike its soup and rice counterpart, this is not an ayce item. I tried asking for extra noodles and they were going to charge me $5 for it!!! (Ummmm keep your noodles, thanks!)
If you're not into spicy soups and noodles, they do offer various other dishes like sushi, maki, bibimbap, unagi don, & sashimi that are pretty decent... if you eat like me and buys 2 specialty maki rolls at a time, I suggest you go to a good ayce sushi place for lunch instead for a cheaper price and more value for your money. But as you can tell - we come for the pork bone soup and ramen.
They give free apps in the beginning of every meal and they give you either frozen sugar coated grapes or candies at the end of your meal.
I would have rated it previously with a 4 but since everything else I buy there except for my 2 guilty pleasures makes me shake my head when thinking of value, I have to bring it down to a 3.5.
Service is great but I'm also a regular and an amazing tipper so I don't know... be kind to the people who handle your food darlings and I'm sure your service will be good too :p - thanks for reading!
