4.3 stars? Are y'all serious?
So, I really don't know where to begin. Frankly, whatever training the servers and hosts receive is not nearly enough, especially for a Korean BBQ spot. So, we arrived at this place at 8 on a Saturday night, so we're expecting there to be a wait time. But to our surprise, no wait! They close at 10, so they have last seating at 9, and last call at 9:30, which is fine. However, the expectation when being sat an hour from last call would probably be for the server to warn you that last call is happening soon, so order what you can before they close! Yet somehow, this place defied all expectations. We finally order our meat and sides after being sat with no service for 15 minutes, so we've already lost some time before last call.
We've all ordered waters, but considering the cups are the size of a child's sippy cup and that we had a long day at the beach, we were in need of a refill rather quickly. Thirsting for any sort of refreshment, it takes them another 10 minutes to ask us for another round of everything, which we promptly order. This time, the server we get is this assumingly sweet older woman who became a nagging ajumma, pressuring us to order before last call. But, surprise surprise, we need a grill change!! So, she then assumes we're idiots who don't know how KBBQ works.
Worst part is that she nags us and laughs in our faces, saying that we ordered too much! Mind you, our party was all big guys, so we fully thought she was being blatantly rude to us. Just so passive aggressive and condescending.
Readers: if you've been following along, you'll know it's time for last call already!
So, after our grill is changed (which took longer than it needed to), we start cooking the last of our first round of meats, which is when we also order our last round of meats. And like the flash, ajumma comes back to give us our check, insisting we pay right now since their cashier is closing for the night. GIRL...it is 9:30! Keep in mind that we were actively grilling our meat as she was asking for payment, just such a nag. And when we ordered our last round of sides, they only gave us like half of them. I don't think customers like being rushed out of your restaurant, especially halfway through the meal.
It wasn't even our fault that we were still cooking during last call, since the service in between meats and sides was so slow!
Just a terrible service experience all around. But hey, at least the meat was adequate at best. Oh yeah, they should step up their kimchi game, that shit was weak af.
TL;DR - Meat was edible, service was abysmal despite being well staffed. Steer clear of the older Korean woman. Honestly, just don't come.
