We’ve been regulars at this Korean BBQ spot for a long time and have always appreciated the quality of the food and the generous, friendly service when dining as a couple. That’s why we were genuinely excited to bring our family here and share one of our favorite spots.
Unfortunately, this visit didn’t live up to our past experiences. The server, who we've seen many times before and who had always been pleasant, seemed noticeably less welcoming this time. Because we weren’t feeling very hungry, we ordered our usual amount—but the vibe quickly shifted. There were subtle, passive comments implying that because we were a bigger group, we should have ordered more. It made us feel uncomfortable and somewhat judged, which was surprising and disappointing.
The service overall felt less attentive than usual. Ban chan refills were given reluctantly, and we felt like we were being treated differently just for having more people at the table, even though our order was thoughtful and consistent with what we’ve enjoyed before. The food also didn’t seem quite as well-prepared—some of the side dishes felt rushed, and we had to handle all of the grilling ourselves with little staff support, which hadn’t been the case on previous visits.
We left feeling let down, especially since we had looked forward to showing this place to our family. Sadly, the inconsistency in food and service means we won’t be returning. Consistency matters, and this visit didn’t meet the standard we’d come to expect.
