    We ordered a Yukke Jang Men as an end of meal, but very unfortunately it was quite below our expectation. The soup is just a hot water with a spicy taste and missing something important. I wanted to tell this a kitchen staff but they were chatting in the kitchen and didn't notice our leaving the restaurant. Their lack of hospitality was also disappointing.

    Quando vedi l’entrata credi di essrti sbagliato poi entri e il locale non e’ il massimo .Quando provi il cibo e il modo di mangiarlo allora cambi idea .Per me piu’ che positivo.Ci ritornerò.

    The food was so good! The meat was very fresh, and the service was very quick and attentive. Don’t judge a book by its cover - it’s a hole in the wall vibe the food was delicious and will definitely return. Got the $60/pp basic course, but you can also do a la carte

    2ヶ月前に日本で食べた焼肉よりも美味しかった。日本語のメニューと日本語を話すスタッフと日本式の焼肉で、日本にいるような気分になりました。お肉も美しく、キムチも美味しく、サラダも新鮮で白米も美味しく頂きました。

    Raise the employee's salary! Then surely she won't have to go out of her way to ask the customer why the tip is lower than 18%. Or how about including it in the bill like other restaurants? I enjoyed my meal as a luxurious, spendable birthday dinner, but I was amused to hear such a thing at the end. I will look for another favorite place.
