| - Not a bad place for Korean food. Although their tables and set up is kind of awkward especially if you're going with a big group. I went with 8 others and we had to split up as they only have 2 large seating areas for big groups which were taken.
The place gets pretty busy and they dont take reservations on the weekend (starting Friday), so if you have a large group, be ready to wait from 45 minutes to an hour for a split table.
Service: Really good service. All waiters/waitresses are very attentive and quick with your ordering and refilling of water, sauces, extra lettuce, etc. Never had to wait for more than 2 minutes for anything we asked for. Turn around time for tables is very quick and the place is clean.
Food: Food is pretty good. I wouldn't say it was anything crazy special, but you will enjoy your meal. They bring your dishes to you very quickly!! We ordered and got all our apps and food within 7 minutes. We ordered the porkbelly lettuce wrap, medium size fried chicken dish and a seafood soup. The large soup was better in taste at OGBG, but still pretty good. Porkbelly was not overly fat and as I said before, the refills on lettuce was spot on so we were never waiting for more lettuce as the food was cooking. The only thing is that they don't allow you to grill the jalapenos on the hot grill. We attempted too (cause we were able to at other restaurants) but one of the waitors asked us to remove it from the grill due to ventilation? Not a big issue, but it was different I suppose.
As most Korean restaurants, you will come out smelling like what you've cooked and ate. The smell is VERY strong here since the place is kind of small and ventilation (I assume via jalapenos remark) is not the best. I would come back to eat but nothing to rave about.
Other bonus is that it is open 24 hours.
