| - First thing you notice when you walk in, is the inevitable smell of BBQ (surprisingly, it's not overpowering). Immediately, your stomach sinks and your hunger level triples.
Second thing that caught my eye? The GIANT curved oled TV! And with my Blue Jays game on? Okay, these guys have already earned major brownie points in my book.
Like most, if not all, Korean places, they have a call button on every table. In addition to their private booths, Miga offers a dim, intimate-feely atmosphere - pretty hard to come by, for a table bbq place.
Is it bad that I could munch on their cold dishes all day?
We ordered the Premium BBQ, which came with two different types of Kalbi, some pork belly, and stewed soy bean soup. For the two of us, that was the perfect amount of food. Especially when you factor in the infinite cold dishes, rice and salad.
The cleanliness in this restaurant was on point. Their waitstaff were super friendly - to the point where it was kind of scary. They certainly made us feel like VIPs, when we had their entire staff cooking and serving us. The only thing we had to do on our own, was put the food in our mouths.
**** Why no 5 stars? The one and only flaw to our visit? Here's where it goes downhill.
The staff forgot to fill the water under the grill, which led to the pot of charcoal almost popping in our faces. Luckily neither of us had our hands or faces near, when it popped with sparks. I will mention however, some of it did hit the side of my face, where it was tingling for a few minutes. Throughout the first half of the meal, I thought for sure this would be a 4 or 5 star.
But this negligence (hopefully it was a one off), could have led to an actual burn. As apologetic as they were, they did blatantly admit one of the staff forgot to fill up the water.
At the end of our meal, once we had turned out grill off, they were very quick to clear everything and bring us the bill - before we even asked. Not even a chance to contemplate dessert. We were very friendly and courteous, throughout the entire dinner, even after the incident (as though they were rushing us out, in case we soon discover any burns or decide to argue about the bill).
As good as the food was, I can't justify any more than 3.5 stars when you look at the entire experience as a whole.
Good service can make up for bad food, but good food can't replace bad service.
