Dol Dam Gil Korean Restaurant 石牆道 — Restaurant in Kowloon

Horrible experience from entrance to ordering. We were the first customers to arrive at 5:45pm. Empty tables were everywhere. We were told to pick a table at a corner. Boss told the waitress no. So we had to go to another corner. One of the waitresses allowed us to pick 1 of the 2 tables in the corner. I picked the one inside, but the boss lady also did not allow that. So we had to pick the other table. Two minutes later, another couple arrived and they were allowed to sit at the same table that we chose in the first place.

Now, while we were browsing the menu, the boss told my husband to sit against the wall as he may get in the way when the food is served. He obliged. But there is an extended false wall that sticks out, making it uncomfortable for him to sit nor place his cutleries properly near the BBQ. So, he asked the manager if he can move back to his original seat. At this point, we were thinking, this isn't worth our time and money. So we left.

If decent service if important to u, I do not recommend this...

Anyone that says this establishment is great is wrong…. I have never experienced a poorer korean bbq. Firstly, the servers/ the owner? can easily be described as the single most awful feature of the meal. Constantly telling us which sauces to have, never leaving us alone for longer than 3 minutes. NO PEACE WHATSOEVER. Secondly, the food was bang average, verging on terrible. QUANTITY OVER QUALITY 100%. We were served a fat plate of oysters, I’m talking a pile, I’m talking 30+. Who has that many oysters between 5 people?! Thirdly, the portion sizes were HUGE. So as normal human beings and caring about food waste… we asked to cancel 2/3 dishes - the response “you cannot cancel any of these” - the real reason why - they were the most expensive dishes on the menu.

If you want proper korean bbq DO NOT go here, huge SCAM. Anyone that says otherwise, I can safely say do not know any better.

I never normally review in such a brutally honest way. But this is to warn people who may fall VICTIM to this kind...

Came here for their famous raw soy marinated crab. Found the sesame oil to be not as fragrant as some other places. We also ordered their grilled kalbi which was very good, but the pork belly was overly fat and tough. The seafood pancake was crispy and had lots of seafood in it, and as the pork bone with potato with hot pot was sold out, we opted for the spicy beef stew.

Food was overall not bad but we were particularly enraged by their service. We had booked the place in advance for a 7pm seating and the restaurant called us at 4pm asking if we could come earlier, otherwise there would be no available spots for us. We clearly booked 7pm for a reason.. anyways when we arrived at 645pm, the restaurant was empty. It did indeed fill up very fast and at approximately 8pm, servers were already rushing to take our food away when we were obviously not done. Their excuse was they had other bookings. Again, for the items we ordered, one hour is definitely...
