| - We visited Kobi on a Friday night around 7 pm. When we went inside, the place was sooo packed! There were people everywhere. There were servers walking back and forth and customers were all jammed in the front entrance. It took some time before we tracked down the host. The host told us it will be a 15 mins wait. We notified the host we were fine with the wait and we waited at the waiting area. As time prolonged, we were a little skeptical because we weren't sure if the host remembered us. He didn't give us a number or got our name. We were waiting over 30 mins and we weren't sure about our status of our table. I finally asked the host about our status and he informed us we will be next.
We finally got seated and sat on a 4 seating table even though there were only two of us. The menus were presented to us quickly. We wanted to try their spicy chicken with cheese and seafood pancake! When we placed the order, the waitress informed us we don't have to order just chicken (minimum order is 2). We can mix it up like squid and chicken on the same platter. We decided to give that a try. The meal doesn't include rice. So, we decided to order additional rice on the side. The waitress said she will stir fry the rice with the leftover meat after we finished with our meal.
After our order was placed, the waitress quickly placed our 5 side dishes on the table. We were super hungry and we devour them in no time. Our seafood pancake came next and it tasted delicious! It had lots of seafood and onions! The meal also came with steamed egg and it was very soft and fluffy :)
The waitress finally served our spicy chicken and squid hot plate and she left without saying anything. We weren't sure what to do with it. We just patiently waited for the cheese to melt. We assume the meats were already cooked before placing on the platter. After 5 minutes or so, we can see the cheese already melted, so we thought it was okay to eat. As my boyfriend was eating his first piece of chicken, he quickly splat out a large chunk of pink and slimy chicken. "It is RAW!!!" It was literally like chicken sashimi. I was surprised and afraid because I literally inhaled a big piece of chicken just now.
We decided to wave down and question the waiter because we weren't sure if the chicken was at least semi-cooked before placing on the hot plate. We even show the waiter the piece of raw chicken on the tissue paper. The waiter looked very confused and said he will come back. When he came back, he said we ordered chicken not beef. He didn't answer our question at all. There was definitely a huge language barrier at this restaurant. We should've learned some Korean before stepping in this restaurant. =.="
The food itself tasted pretty decent. We really enjoyed our spicy chicken and squid hot plate especially the sauce. We ordered mild spicy for our order and the spice level was manageable. Other than that one piece of raw chicken, the rest of the cooked chicken slices were very tender and goes well with the cheese and sauce. There were other vegetables included in the hot platter like potatoes and onions! The potatoes were thinly sliced and soaked up the sauce like a sponge :9 ! The cheese was very interesting, there were pieces of corn in the cheese. They were very generous with their food portion! We had to pack some food home and we didn't end up ordering the side order of rice. The amount of food we packed home is good enough for another person to eat.
Tip: Make sure you come hungry to this restaurant because you will not leave hungry. :)
However, we weren't too fond with the service at this restaurant. If you want any assistance during your meal like refilling your water, you will definitely need to wave the waiter/waitress down like a crazy maniac xP. However, they will eventually help you, just be patient.
I will definitely consider coming back after I improve/learn my Korean. Maybe there will be better service and communication if I spoke in Korean.
