Yi Si Cuisine (이씨명가) Duluth

Friendly staff, high-quality meat, and a very baby-friendly environment! The restaurant is spacious with great ventilation, so there wasn’t much smoke at all. Such a comfortable place to enjoy KBBQ with family. Highly recommend!

I had lunch here with my mom and we were pleasantly surprised with our meals. I had sullungtang and my mom had bibimbap and both tasted very good and authentic. Lunch time appeared to be very busy on a weekday. Will try again.

Great!!

I visited Yi Si Cuisine would rate it 3 out of 5 stars. Service was rough, it took a bit of time for someone to take my order and bring back water. I visited for lunch so I understand it was quite busy, with a few bigger groups of diners. The atmosphere was quite loud and hectic, I had to speak loudly when ordering even though the waiter was at the table. I ordered the Bulgogi Hot Pot (뚝배기불고기), which unfortunately was quite bland and overly sweet for my taste. The side dishes (banchan) were good and enjoyable, though nothing particularly outstanding. Despite the underwhelming main dish, the overall experience was fine, and I’d be willing to come back again to try something different on the menu.

Must come here to enjoy the black-bone pork hot pot when it's cold. It's the taste of home.

Great value and quality. The lunch specials are amazing (cheap and delicious). Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Great experience. Less expensive than competition when you eat at their regular table, though they have BBQ tables too. Great side dishes come with the meals.

Food is alright. Service was pretty horrible. I’ve asked couple of bowls, and most of them were not clean. I wish they could’ve double checked before they handed to customers. Server didn’t even apologize, and I personally felt they weren’t rly doing their jobs well. Honestly, it just felt like they didn’t really care about their service since they automatically get an 18% tip anyway. I did feel like even that 18% wasn’t really worth it, but since I know how hard it is for small businesses these days, I still left it.

I think my previous comment might have caused some confusion, so I’d like to clarify.
When I said the 18% tip was automatically added, I meant that these days many customers usually give around 18% by default, so some servers may feel there’s no real need to try harder or pay much attention. Since you personally took the time to read my review and genuinely care about your customers, I wanted to adjust my rating to reflect that. I understand how tough it is to run a business, but I hope you could pay a bit more attention to training your staff. Thank you

OMG it was sooo good! The staff was very friendly and tried their best to explain the dishes to us. We did have the Korean BBQ for two, but could feed at least 4 to 5 people's. 10 out of 10 recommend. Also great atmosphere for dates

Very good food. Perhaps a bit on the expensive end though. Very nice atmosphere. Good thing it was not very busy as there would not have been enough service staff.
