Sara's full firsthand review

Decent food, terrible service. I've been dining here for years and the menu has gone through a few changes. I used to love their kimchi dumplings that were made purely made out of kimchi and nothing else. They used to be crisp, warm and delightful. Back when the restaurant used to give a damn. I asked if I could order that and noticed it's no longer on the menu. They mentioned that it's always mixed with pork. Negative! Sure, maybe your new updated menu, but take a look at your menu from 3 years ago. The waiter spoke with a cold and condescending attitude. I thought to myself, why argue with someone that has barely worked here for that long? Ordered the vegetarian dumplings instead. Mediocre. Moving on. I ordered the usual tofu soups that I like getting from here. Sure their soups are good, but definitely on the salty side. With a condescending attitude, I bet I can't make an adjustment to any soup that I'm willing to order. Their banchan is just okay. Want a refill of your banchan? Good luck flagging down the waiter. Music is blaring loud and awfully obnoxious within a small dine in restaurant. Again, some of the food items are good here. Decent portions and their beef bulgogi is decent as well. Piping warm and fresh.. crackling on stone iron sets.. but damn... Nevermind the salt! Mind blown.

What we tried

Sara tried the usual tofu soups. Some parts worked well, while others kept the visit from feeling like a standout experience.
