We've been coming to this restaurant over the years with multiple trips to Maxwell AFB but now we live here and visit when we're in the mood for good Korean food. I want to like this place more for the food but the service has been questionable the last few times, worst tonight which prompts this review. We've lived in Korea and DC and look for great service and Korean food wherever we live.

We're a family of 5 and were seated next to the kitchen. When we asked to sit in a booth a little further away, the waitress told us the grill on the table was broken. Somewhat satisfied with that answer, we ordered BBQ anyway at our table thinking the grill was working only to be surprised when the servers brought out a portable gas stove for our bbq.

My husband asked why we couldn't sit in a booth and someone who appeared to be a manager came out and seemed inconvenienced by our request. We didn't tell him that the waitress told us that the booth was broken when we originally requested a different table, and he seemed annoyed that we asked well before the food came to the table. He ended up accommodating us and told the other servers to move us but I think it didn't have to get that far if she just didn't flat out lie about a broken grill that was never intended to be used anyway. We started to really wonder why some guests get the quieter private booths when others get the kitchen table or less private tables.

I should add we went to dinner early on a Saturday (5pm) and the restaurant was no where close to capacity or busy with the amount of staffing (and call button procedures) in place when we went. Also should mention that for our family of 5 (including 10y, 8y, 1y) we had a service charge of 18% added to our bill, which I'm confused by considering the service was lacking from the beginning.

I lived in Korea for several years. This place has the best 감자탕 (pork soup) I’ve had in America. Whenever I’m passing through Montgomery I stop here.

My second time coming here and love it, will keep coming back here whenever I come down this way. Great food and love the atmosphere, you can get privacy if you wanted to.

After finishing the trip, I submitted a post and planned to go home and eat, but I had to travel another 50 minutes to get home, and since I was pregnant, I couldn't stand my hunger, so I ended up asking the boss's understanding and gorging on it. I really enjoyed it so much. Thank you again for your understanding.

Was in a group which was ordering separately and communicated this to the staff. All the meat came together and we had to split it up. Meat cuts were underwhelming and prices were extremely high. Two meats for a single person were shy of $100 and I still had to cook it myself.
