Visited the restaurant on Valentine’s Day and found it to be extremely crowded. While the ambiance is supposedly pleasant on regular days, the overwhelming number of guests that evening made it less enjoyable. Despite the rush, we managed to get a seat, though the experience felt a bit chaotic.
The food was mostly good, especially the fried rice and chicken dumplings, which were flavorful and well-prepared. However, the pork ribs were a major disappointment. Priced at ₹700, only two pieces were served—one being a small rib and the other just a chunk of pork fat. Unlike the crispy ribs we’ve had at other places, these were served with gravy and didn’t taste as expected. Similarly, we had ordered pork Shapta but were mistakenly served chicken Shapta instead. While the taste was decent, the mix-up was an inconvenience.
There was also some confusion with the billing, as an extra item was mistakenly added. It took some time to get it rectified with the staff, which was a slight inconvenience.
The evening featured live performances by local artists, and some of them were genuinely enjoyable. There were also small competitions for couples, with gift hampers given out, which added a nice touch to the celebration. However, one aspect that could have been handled better was the interaction led by the anchor. Couples were asked to share their love stories on the spot, and while some found it entertaining, others seemed uncomfortable. It would have been more considerate to ask beforehand if guests were willing to participate rather than putting them on the spot.
Another observation was that the event appeared to revolve primarily around the owner and a small group of their friends. The cake-cutting, dancing, and loud celebrations seemed exclusive to them, while the rest of the guests were more like spectators. While it's understandable that they wanted to enjoy the occasion, a more inclusive approach would have made the experience better for everyone.
Overall, while some aspects of the evening were enjoyable, certain areas—especially service efficiency and event execution—could have been...
Read moreWe had dinner at Choe Wang’s last night, and while the food and ambiance were good, I had a disappointing experience with their dessert and customer service.
Since we were too full to eat dessert at the restaurant, we asked them to pack an apple pie and a cheesecake to take home. I stored both in the refrigerator as soon as we got back. The next day, when I took them out, I was shocked to see that the apple pie had mold on it, while the cheesecake was fine. This raised serious concerns about the freshness of their desserts.
I called the restaurant to inform them, expecting at least a basic apology, but instead, they questioned whether I had kept it in the fridge. That response felt dismissive and unprofessional. Freshness and quality control are crucial in any restaurant, and this experience made me doubt their standards. While they did offer a complimentary slice next time, the way they handled the situation left a bad impression.
Good food and ambiance matter, but so does customer service and food safety. I hope they improve how they handle such situations and ensure their desserts are fresh and properly stored before being served...
Read moreTitle: Excellent Service and Atmosphere, Decent Food
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Choe wangs kitchen, and I must say that the service and location were top-notch. The restaurant's ambiance and the attentive staff truly made the experience enjoyable.
While the food was good, I found it to be not as exceptional as I had expected. The dishes were tasty, but they did not quite meet the high expectations I had based on recommendations and reviews. Although the flavors were enjoyable, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of consistency and perhaps adding more depth to the dishes.
In terms of pricing, I found the menu to be a bit on the higher side; however, the quality of service and the overall atmosphere made it worth the cost.
In summary, I would recommend Choe wangs kitchen for its fantastic service and inviting atmosphere. While the food was good, it fell slightly short of my expectations. I believe that with a bit of refinement, the culinary experience at this restaurant could truly shine. I look forward to the opportunity to revisit and see how the...
