The service is awful, train your staff better to treat all customers equally. We clearly saw beer being served in the table in front of us but when we asked they lied and told us they don't serve it. When asked to package one of the dishes we ordered, they took it away and practically forgot about it until reminded, yet in one of the tables in the same room serving foreigners, the waiter took no time at all to attentively package the dish in question right in front of them. Before walking in we asked if parking is available, to which the guards said yes. However, when we came out of the restaurant our car was parked outside despite telling our driver to park inside. There were still free spots in the parking area but the only cars parked there seemed to be airport rental cars. After all of that they had the audacity to charge a 10% service fee.

This is a great place to try out some authentic Korean cuisine. The ambiance is nice and they have options for separate rooms for large groups, as well as normal dining space. Their menu is quite vast and as this place tends to attract a lot of foreigners, they ensure that the products are cooked in authentic fashion and presented accordingly. The service is quite good, very responsive. I asked if they could give me a poached egg separately (as it was not on the menu), but they said it was not possible, however, later they gave us some egg soufflés, and that too on the house! This seemed like a really good gesture from the staff. The food was well prepared, clean, and presented well, and most importantly, tasted delicious. Their duck was especially good, wouldn't mind having that again and again. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this...
