It has been at least 4 years since I've eaten here and I don't know what happened to the quality of the food. The price went up tremendously (as expected due to inflation and COVID), but I had expected average quality.
I ordered 2 entrees, the galbi and japchae, and had expected it to come with a full range of side dishes. But for $43 and change, I got two tiny servings and 2 mini sides of just kimchi and cucumbers, nothing else. I love Korean food because it typically comes with a wide assortment of side dishes like kimchi, pickled bean sprouts, tofu cakes, mashed potatoes, cucumber, and radish. Needless to say, I was not happy there were only 2 sides.
I thought, small quantity is ok, because I can make a pot of tofu soup to go with it. Dinner should be good. Well, it's good if you like to nibble on bones and greasy noodles! There were 3 pieces of galbi with meat on top but underneath was a pile of greasy bones. I feel robbed. $28 +tax for a pile of bones...It was nicely flavored though and I would've given at least a 3-star rating had the dish been less deceiving. I was just at HMart and should've bought the marinated galbi to cook myself--6 times that much for only $30!
The japchae were the worst I've ever had. It was greasy and was mainly Napa cabbage. The flavor was completely off.
I was really hoping to have a decent Christmas Eve dinner, and this did not meet my expectations. My tofu soup came to the rescue though, so not all was ruined. I enjoyed Christmas Eve with my father and daughter, and that's what matters most.
Merry Christmas everyone!
