My friends and I decided to try Doh for my birthday since it's so close to where we live. I noticed how small it was compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants but you can tell this place is clean. And the decor is very cute and modern.
First I noticed how minimal the selection was but thought for the cost and convenience, it must be fine since how busy it was. I went straight to ordering because I know what I like and hate waiting for food to arrive late. What set me off was our waitress feeling the need to stop me in mid sentence of ordering and lecture me about how I shouldn't order so much. I was just about to order a 4th item and I just jokingly said that we are sure and are hungry. She went on to explain about how she had a previous group who over ordered, then argued with her about the waste charge on the bill. I totally get it. But there are different ways to address this issue by kindly advising that their plate sizes of meat is on a larger scale than other restaurants. Just because it happened to you once, does not mean every person will fall victim to this scenario. Eventually we got over this awkward moment and she finally let us finish our order.
Honestly, I was not a fan of any of the meats. I like to cook my meat between a medium rare just to a slight pink and somehow it was dry and chewy here. The sauces were good but could only help so much. The japchae was way overpowered with soy sauce as well. The only thing enjoyable here was the steamed egg, salad and I liked how the mochi ice cream came in their own packets.
I would rather drive another 15 minutes for any other Korean BBQ and not get lectured on my eating habits.
