I ate here with my wife, three teenage daughters, niece and her boyfriend. The food was pretty solid. I'll say it was among the better Korean food I've had. The price was a little higher but I'll call that the SoCal markup. The restaurant was clean and we liked the ambiance.
At first, they were dragging pretty hard with the food. I was starting to think it was going to take hours to get enough meat to get filled up before my teenage daughters took it upon themselves to start flirting with the early-20's waiters who were serving us. My two oldest are tall, blond and pretty. They look older than they are and they were hungry so they figured they might as well get friendly to encourage these guys to bring us out enough food to actually feed a table of seven rather than the three or four strips of meat they were bringing out at a time initially. My youngest is tall, brunette and pretty but she definitely doesn't look older than 16 or 17 so the older two were getting the main attention. We plowed through a lot of meat and then the waiters comped our daughters desert.
My advice to them is that they were kissing the wrong asses here. My oldest was 18 and the middle kid was 16. They are both nearly 6' tall so they could pass for early 20's but they weren't paying the bill. I couldn't say too much because my wife always tells my kids that I flirt with deli-counter girls to get extra meat on my sandwiches. I will contend that I am just a friendly person but my wife has been making a joke of this for so long that I couldn't exactly say much about my kids taking that tactic out for a spin. The pretty girl at Firehouse subs, where I ate dinner last night, gave me 20 pickle spears with my sandwich last night after I mentioned that I liked pickles a lot so maybe my wife has locked in on some ingrained behavior here.
In any case, the wife and I didn't get comped any desert and I felt a little dirty for letting my kids work the waiters so I may have not been terribly generous at tip time. I gave 15% but I would have given more if they'd just brought the meat out in reasonable portions to begin with. It was very tasty so I would probably eat here again but if they drag with the meat next time, I'll just reference my first visit and encourage them to do better. Buffalo Wild Wings used to have a bottomless lunch special in August every year and after several visits where my servers were slow on refills in hopes of making me get discouraged and quit ordering refills, I just started telling them that I was going to eat 40 wings no matter what and the faster they got them to me, the better their tip would be. Amazing how well that worked...
