| - I don't care how affordable this place is, you're getting exactly the quality that you're paying for. Went there with a friend last night for dinner & drinks. Between us both we ordered oysters ($1/ea with the purchase of a drink), the "must-try" spicy squid tentacles, the salmon crackers and the vegetable tempura. The oysters were AWFUL - served only slightly colder than room temperature and all the shells full of melted ice water. This was SO bad that my friend and I, huge fans of oysters, didn't even finish our orders. The "must-try" squid tentacles were overcooked and over-battered, making them not only chewy, but hard as well. The only thing that hadn't been screwed up was the vegetable tempura, and I imagine you'd have to be pretty hard-pressed to really mess up deep-fried vegetables.
Our (main) server was really nice, and offered us 10% off for our unfinished oysters. However he explained that this resto has just recently come under new management and are still working out the kinks. He also explained that between the English/Korean/Chinese waitstaff and the Mandarin-speaking cooks, there is often a communication issue. I hope that this is indeed the sole issue, and one they can fix. I, however, will not be returning to find out.
