We used to visit Sura frequently and was sad when it closed suddenly. It was a leap of faith to try out Wayo as the previous reviews were not promising, but I guess someone got to try it, right?
Similar to the previous review, I found the menu was similar to Sura. The Korean BBQ dishes (Bulgogi, etc) went up in price with $4-5 more, but most dishes are similarly priced.
We ordered 3 dishes:
4 stars for Japchae (stir fried yam noodles) the taste was right but a bit too much pepper.
3 stars for seafood pancake: while the pancake was full of seafood, the texture of the pancake was too soggy and too cakey.
4.5 stars for short rib soup: the broth was rich in flavor but clear, the rib was tender!
The restaurant was running very lean with only 1 server to attend the entire frontend. The poor girl had to serve 6 tables plus greeting the incoming guests. She was working so hard but had a tough time to keep up with every table's requests.
I would give them 4 Stars if they would have another helper and more attentive service.
Will I come back? Definitely yes. The food is tasty. After all, you don't come to an Asian restaurant for service, right?
