Oh Sariwon, how you continue to disappoint. For some inexplicable reason, this restaurant always comes up when we discuss where to go for Korean BBQ and I always cave and decide to give them another chance to redeem themselves. At some point, I think I will put my foot down and say no to Sariwon forever and this experience may be my last.
We went in for dinner BBQ (2 adults, 2 kids ages 4 & 8), ordered 1 order of samgyup sal, 2 orders of beef galbi and 1 order of pork galbi. What can I say? Samgyupsal came still frozen and took forever to grill to the crispiness we like. The pork "galbi" was some other cut of pork, (I'm guessing pork shoulder) and was nowhere near as tender as pork "rib" meat should have been. The beef galbi was cut so thin that made me think 'I should have just ordered the bulgogi.' The quality of their food is getting worse by the visit and it really bothers me that they sell cheaper cuts of meat disguised as more expensive cut and defraud their patrons.
I hope they realize that by cheating their customers this way will be the end of them one day. Very disappointing.
