Gabby was a really great waitress, she made sure we didnt burn anything 🤣🤣

We had a very frustrating experience at Mr. Kimchi due to poor management and inconsistent service.

We waited about one hour to be seated, even though several tables were empty the entire time. Some tables were left uncleared for at least 15 minutes after customers had already left. The wait made no sense and felt completely unmanaged.

After finally being seated, we waited another 7 minutes before anyone came to take our order.

We chose the premium menu at $35 per person. Our server, SNOW, appeared to be having a bad day. She never smiled and was rude throughout the interaction. She told us we were only allowed to order three types of meat at a time per table, despite the fact that we were four adults. This rule was never posted anywhere.

She then said we could only reorder once all the meat plates were completely emptied. Again, no written rule. After we put everything onto the grill, we asked to order again. At that point, she became visibly annoyed and introduced another new rule: we had to finish everything on the grill before being allowed to reorder. This rule was also not posted anywhere.

As a result, after finishing all the meat, we waited at least 5 minutes for her to come back to take our order, then another 10 minutes for the ordered meat to arrive. That’s 15 minutes of doing nothing but staring at each other, while being on a timed dining experience.

Meanwhile, more and more customers were waiting outside for tables that were clearly not being turned efficiently. Every step of the process involved unnecessary waiting, confusion, and arbitrary rules.

We were so annoyed that we eventually gave up. This was not an enjoyable dining experience at all.

One more thing worth mentioning: it’s now clear how this place has so many five-star reviews. Customers are offered free ice cream if they scan the QR code on the table, which leads directly to Google reviews. That explains a lot.

Poor service, poor management, and misleading review practices.
We will absolutely not be returning.

Our server Gabby was incredible, fast efficient, and kind. 10/10 would recommend. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. Love the new Korean bbq in Algonquin. If you could add chocolate ice cream that would be great.
