Met a friend there during a weekday for lunch. I had kitchen stew and my friend had spicy soup with mackerel. We both enjoyed our dishes and the service was pleasant.

The middle-aged female staff member seemed uninterested in helping us from the moment we sat down. When we asked for basic things like water refills or extra side dishes, she responded reluctantly and with an unfriendly attitude. Meanwhile, she appeared much warmer and more attentive to other tables. It made the dining experience uncomfortable. I hope the restaurant can work on treating all guests equally and with courtesy.

I had a disappointing experience. The middle aged waitress’s attitude changed noticeably when she realized I wasn’t Korean. The service became less attentive, and the small dishes were served quite slowly. It felt like customers were treated differently based on background, which was unfortunate. I hope the restaurant can offer more consistent and respectful service to everyone.

Food and service is great but I was very displeased with the container charge.

I asked for a container to take leftovers and they didn't tell me there was a charge for it. I found out after looking at the bill. Seems like a cost they should take as a restaurant.

Not happy with the lack of communication.

Had dinner with family and ordered Pork Belly at $40. They said that I must have 2 orders for BBQ aka $80 since they didn't sell one. Is that a discrimination?

Costco is a place that sells a piece of pork belly for $40 and a piece of udon noodles for $10. No further explanation needed.

Best pork belly korean bbq in town, Thick and juicy, especially the way they bbq for you at the table guarantees the pork will be cooked to its best taste. The spicy seafood soup goes very well with the bbq. The bbq that makes you think of once a while in few weeks

WORST SERVICE EVER! Definitely not coming back to this place again! The servers didn’t check on us at all during the whole meal except putting dishes on our table (yeah.. what else could you expect, right?) very rudely. our water never got refilled even though our glass were already empty.. the most ridiculous part was that I asked one server for help and she responded and then just walked by and didn’t even bother to come back help???!! I’ve never ever seen this in any restaurant.. and I knew she did on purpose, because when we asked our bill, she wanted to say something but then backed off. I’ll give one star for service if theres this option.
