   Nice environment. Very quiet customer wise while we were there. Ordered food to be then told 2 of the dishes weren’t available. Disappointing. Had a jug of water, the jug clearly needed a good clean. View of a horrid overflowing waste bin was off putting. Served by 4 different, but polite staff one of which was very good at checking for allergies. No one asked us if everything was ok with our meal or if we wanted more drinks…. we finally got the barman’s eye…. and this was a quiet evening. Meat platter was excellent, don’t bother with the light bite peppers - tasteless. Price was ok. Would we go again, no.

   The service was very slow today (Good Friday), and although it was reasonably busy for lunchtime it wasn’t rammed! We waited 45 mins for our food and I think it was under-staffed, but when it did arrive it was very nice and the staff were all very friendly . It was our first time here and it was all very nice apart from this, and it won’t put us off going again. Thank you TKC!

   Dined at the Korean cow girl beautiful food Then sat outside under the canopy where we me Maddie who was serving the outside area What a fantastic young lady a total.credit to the team polite funny and so helpful answering any questions we had and could clearly see she enjoys her job give the girl a raise. Only critic about the whole evening were the drinks prices and service charge with each drink Personally I don't think there is any need for it and is quite off putting if you want to come for a decent drink

   We arrived and was seated, it took over 20mins for someone to arrive at the table despite it being quite. When the lady arrived she asked if we wanted food and drink, which we obviously did having booked a table for dinner? She just seemed confused and inattentive. Food arrived, we were asked what sauces we would like but sadly none arrived at the table. When we had finished we waited a further 20 mins before having to call someone over to ask about a children's dessert, we ordered a child's dessert and asked to see a menu for adults desserts which took another 10 mins to arrive, the child's dessert arrived and the guy pushed it on the table into all our empty food plates that were not cleared, as he walked off I asked him back to clear the table. Our desserts arrived after our little one had eaten so he had to sit and watch us eat. I just think for the price you pay and the place it is service was very poor. To throw a tip on there for such poor service is also absolutely ridiculous.

   The service was fine but the food was below average. They enthuse about long cooking times and you expect something pretty good but as the wings came in about one minute, they must just keep them warm and then serve them. All the food was dry and tasted like it had been cooked hours beforehand. I get Korean Sticky Wings at a local pub and they are 10 times better than at the Korean Cowgirl. Very disappointing and we will not be going back.

    Food - Although the majority was well cooked and tasted good (not so much the Signature Smash burger... miso & caramelised onion is not a nice combo! And at £12 was more the size of a slider than a burger!), it was overpriced for what it was! And all accompaniments were separate and incurred a charge - £5 for a tiny pot of fries and £8 for the smallest salad ever! Overall, a very limited menu! Service - Very slow! Drinks came out in instalments, and we had to re-ask for a bottle of wine and some water for the table! & then we seemed to be ignored for the rest of the meal - I even had to go to the bar at the end of the meal to ask for the bill, as we were left just sitting there! The place wasn't that busy, so it was reasonably quiet - which made the waiting for the serving staff even more frustrating, as there were plenty of staff in the restaurant! We had checked the menu before going, but were not aware that the Cave Hotel location had a reduced menu to that of the Canterbury Riverside location - so don't be expecting any Ramen (which is what the majority of the party were going to order!)! Two of the party of 6 had eaten at the Canterbury Riverside location and had raved about the food and service - so we were very disappointed with the Cave Hotel location, especially as it had been for a birthday! (Not really a memory that we wish to keep!)
