I am on fire today. No, I am off from work and hungry. Add to that, it is family dinner with the only white person in a family of eight Chinese. They take care of me better than my own family so for them, I will do anything.
Everyone is here and ready for this buffet or are they?
I heard a rumour there is no Hite Beer but there is soju (that is why I deducted one star so now only four are possible; if I, as a white person, I can bother to learn about your culture, you need to bring it). They do have Cass Beer but the soju could make up for this temporarily.
Now, on with the buffet (to be regular or deluxe), now this is a pickle (non-fried). The difference is that regular has mat-tang and the deluxe has la gal bi and gam-ja-tang (they both have eight common items including dduk-bok-kki, dalgangjeong, chicken bulgogi, bulgogi, deoji bulgogi, samgyeop-sal, kim-mar-i, and jap-chae). Both versions come unlimited side dishes, rice, and soft drinks while the deluxe also comes with ice cream.
Regular it shall be or is it. Maybe a set dinner for 6-7 for $135 (since there are three children).
Decisions.. decisions... Set dinner it is. The set dinner does include my favourites beef and chicken bulgogi, marinated short ribs, and seafood pancakes. Add an order of cold buckwheat noodles for each kid and we're done.
As others have mentioned, the service is suspect but for Canada, almost normal (I know, my standards are too high).
The restaurant is clean as was was the (men's) washroom (single person so lock the door). No hot water in the sink is a little off-putting especially in the winter. Well lit and Korean music playing in the background. I guess to hear Wheesung is asking a bit. Was hoping to catch a K-drama on the TV.
Get Hite Beer and I'll bump you up to 4 stars (4.5 stars if I had the option).
The food IS good so that (other the beer issue) makes up for everything else.
