I'm not sure how this place got good ratings on yelp, but either they are all fake or people have mostly low standards and expectations. If this is the best of all Korean restaurants in Calgary, then I surely won't try anymore. I was fooled into giving it a try by those ratings.
From the outside it looks dirty and abandoned. Windows have never been cleaned and shutters are down always. When we stepped inside we were greated by a yawning young man who showed us to our table while wiping his nose. The staff were nice but obviously not professional and with no training. They forgot our drinks, didn't bring plates for appetizers, and brought the main dishes 2 minutes after appetizer..eat up! They were just a bunch of young amateurs trying to keep business going while talking together continuously.
They sell chocolate bars and ice cream in near the entrance, and I'm not talking any Korean specialty stuff, but Coffee Crisp bars! I have never seen that in any non-fastfood restaurant in the country.
The whole place has a grim dark ambience, and that's not in a nice or romantic or intended way, and the food is overpriced for what it is. I didn't cook my food myself so I can't talk about that, but the food can be rated as "ok". I wouldn't come again though, mainly due to the grim atmosphere and unprofessional service..Koryo fast food is my Korean place to go to from now on.
