Reviews
has always been “just okay” but I come here time to time with coworkers because it’s near our office. Tonight was probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had.
From the start, the server (korean lady in her 40s-50s) was condescending toward us. As a Korean American, I am very familiar with how rude Koreans can be but this was excessive and much to my disliking. We weren’t a very large party (6 to be exact). Because we were sharing some fried rice and mapo tofu we asked for 6 bowls and, in Korean, she replied, “Why do you need bowls? For what? Oh, for the rice. Why can’t you just eat it on the plates?” Mind you, I’ve been here with older, more senior Korean coworkers (with parties of 8-10 people), asked for the same thing, and never had an issue.
That was just the start. Aside from a few other rude instances that feel unnecessary to name, the final was the kicker. Story time… The itemized bill (not pictured) comes out with a handwritten “18%” listed underneath the total. It was clear she was implying that we were to tip 18%… based on our ‘large party.’
I kinda just shrugged at it because, though rude, it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen a waiter do in a restaurant. I put my card down, she took it, and comes back with the bill needing tip and signature. And, as pictured, the server(s) put checked off, circled, and wrote the total ($157.20, not my handwriting). A red flag went off in my head so a friend checked and seems like it’s not legal practice for a restaurant to manually write the tip and total on a bill for the customer.
No, I did not see any sign for automatic gratituity for size of a party. And I think this must be in violation of “true tip” policy. I plan on filing a complaint and see if this violates any local state consumer protection laws.
A Koreanized Chinese comfort food spot. It’s been a few years since I last visited, and current owners have it right with jjangmyun and Jjampong. Noodle portion was on the light side.
Service is prompt but not very friendly. Maybe the server was having an off-day. Restaurant is fairly tidy. I would definitely visit for another craving of jjangmyun.
