Wow, this place is awesome. The service and food is great. The cuts of meat they provide are top of the line. The flavor and skill really shine in this place. I was so happy to stumble upon this joint and look forward to becoming a regular.
Update:
This place was ideally good, the few times we came here. My family enjoyed the food and everything was good, expect maybe the steamed egg- I really don't care for kimchi mixed in, and I Opted for regular egg, it cooked strange and dried out fast, almost like when you leave eggs on the stove and forget to turn the burners off- I've never seen any Korean bbq spots have this issue and it was quite disappointing.
But my one star sadly has nothing to do with the egg experience
my bad experience is my most recent visit
We were looking to dine with our extended family and it brought our party to a whooping 7-
4 adults and 3 little ones-
As I came in to check in and grab a table for 7- I was surprisingly encountered with a comment oh I told you we no have table for 7. I was thrown back because I did not inquire as I just walked in.
second how do you not have a table for 7?
The hostess prompted me to follow her as she helped tables and showed me two tables telling me this is all they had
I was little confused on why she was trying to break up our party? We came together to eat together and have a delightful dinner
I told her no that would not work, and as I tried to ask for the empty private rooms that had table to accommodate our party. she just turned away without warning in the middle of our conversation and started to talk to a table who was eating.
Mind you they didn't ask her for help! She thought it would be fitting to ignore me mid sentence while I was talking to her (in the middle of the aisle)
Oh man that was the icing on the cake! After she finished she tried to talk to me again- about splitting up my party- already fed up and upset on what just happened- I looked at her and said' oh are you done? Now you want to talk to me-
I gladly reminded her how rude and wrong on what she did! I told her you know what I am done,
I don't want to eat here anymore or talk to you.
we will gladly take our business else where
and we did- we packed up and headed to Hobak- the food and service is way better!
Based on what just happened- I don't plan on coming back to this rude and inconsiderate establishment, who doesn't care about a party sitting together.
Good luck with that Magal, it was nice knowing you! You might wanna train your staff to be a bit more friendly to non-Korean customers!
