I was very disappointed with this place and all the hype. 2 stars because they gave us a personal fan and because of the regular pork belly and squid..
Gave this place a second chance and brought my family here. We wrote our name on the waiting list and they had advised us to sit at one of the normal tables until they called us. We had 3 people ahead of us and I was ready for the wait since we had gotten a snack from Kung fu tea. We were waiting about 45 minutes and saw that a large party had gotten seated before us. Come to realize they crossed our name off because they had supposedly 'called' our name and we didn't answer. Which they did not because they told us to sit at the regular tables until the BBQ tables were clear. We then told them that we would take any table available even though we had 4 adults and 2 kids. After about over an hour they finally seated us into the corner small booth, which ok, we got what we asked for but I was still irritated.
The food is ok. The marinade was very bland. The only thing that I really liked was the squid and the regular pork belly, which that was the only two things that I liked when I came the first time. The brisket was very dry even just seared. We had to get up and ask the servers for sides because they didn't even bring us any! The steamed egg was pretty delicious, we ordered probably 6 of them or even more. I felt like all the meats just tasted like bland meat. I actually couldn't even taste the difference between them all because they all tasted the same! Besides for the marinated pork bellies, which I didn't even like to begin with. The salad was pretty good the second time around. The first time that I came here they had actually forgot to give us salad (we assumed it just didn't come with any) but when they brought it almost half way through our meal, it was drenched with dressing.
For the wait and the service, I might as well have went to woonam jung because even with their shitty service and high price, their food is a whole lot better. Or I would have rather waited that same amount of time at tofu hut for $18, which would've still been better than this place. They also charged gratuity for 4 adults and 2 kids who were under 3 years old. Makes no sense to me, but I guess it's good they did because they wouldn't have gotten anything from me anyways.
