Restaurant Review: The Korean BBQ Comedy Show

Last night, my friends and I decided to spice things up with some Korean BBQ. We had an 8 PM reservation, but arriving at the restaurant felt like showing up uninvited to a secret party. We loitered in the doorway for five minutes like awkward middle schoolers at a dance before we had to play "Find the Staff Member" to locate our reserved table. Spoiler: This was our last interaction with them.

From then on, it was a self-service free-for-all. The menu? A mystery. Ordering? A secret we had to decipher. Condiments and sides? Hidden like treasure at the back of the restaurant. Clearing the table? We did it ourselves, making us feel like we may as well of stayed home

The DIY cooking was fun, but with a group of eight, our table looked like a chaotic science experiment gone wrong. And just when we thought things couldn't get any more surreal, at 9:45 PM, we were suddenly asked to leave because the restaurant was closing in five minutes. It felt like we were Cinderella being kicked out at midnight – but instead of a glass slipper, we left behind unfinished plates and bewildered looks.

The decor was lovely, and the food was quite good, fresh, and as you cooked it yourself, even if you had to ask for the implements to do this how can you go wrong, but the service? Nonexistent. It turned an expensive night out into a comedy of errors. If you’re looking for a good laugh and a workout while you dine, this is the...

Ordered BBQ beef brisket and scallops, bibimbap. Received a plate of hot pot beef slices, super thin sliced, different appearance from the menu (or maybe I have aging eyes and didn’t see it clearly). Didn’t expect to have that thin slices for BBQ, which quickly stick onto the hot plate and difficult to get it and turn. Especially the scallops, stick onto the hot plate immediately and forever. Asked the staffs how to cook, a staff passed us a bottle of oil and gone. Asked another staff, he has no idea. Another staff came out and poured the oil onto the hot plate (charcoal underneath) and oil onto the scallops, then placed the scallops on the hot plate. Finally, it works but feeling not suitable for the Korean BBQ plate but more suitable for flat BBQ hot plate.

I would suggest not have to thin slices for BBQ, which is supposed to be in hot pot. It is not expensive to buy a big bag of this kind of thin slices of hot pot meat in Korean grocery stores.

Besides, the small entrees are less yummy and fewer kinds of food compared to other Korean...

Since the Korean restaurant I loved closed down, I had to take my friends who visited from other cities to Hanok, hoping they had improved. Well, nah, all my friends left food and walked out within 30mins. Honestly, they should not mess with Korean food at all, I mean, what is the sauce in Kimchi? Why put Chinese sauce in Kimchi and ruin the taste? Steamed egg? Why does it taste like a plastic? Meat? Different meats in same plate, never thought about cross contamination? Chicken? Please, so overpriced and greasy. And to be honest, why keep posting fake reviews of 5 stars? Even the owner himself leaving reviews. I had to take my mates to the best pub in Wagga to feed them. Well, overall, I wish they rather opened a hot pot place, not Korean food.

Good atmosphere, great location, however, expensive as hell and not real Korean taste. And marble score for Wagyu looked less than 4-5, but the owner said they use 7-9... I...
