SPACE JARU — Restaurant in Dublin

Weird, to start - then it didn't get better. Lets start with the weird dynamics. A busy restaurant on a Friday night. Waiting in line were a group of six, followed by three groups of two. In the restaurant were four empty 'two' tables, and the 'large' table was busy. But 'policy' is we enter in order. So, the 3 x 2's waited, and waited while '2' tables in abundance sat empty. We waited for the large table to clear, so the 'six' could go in first. Weird, right? Then it got a littler weirder, when the 'host' asked me, 'how can I help you' - as if he hadn't noticed that we'd all been there in the restaurant, waiting for half an hour.... Food? Its ok. Only ok. The flavors are fine. The spare ribs were unchewable, indigestible - we had to send them back. The replacement twice friend KFC, was two thirds batter, one third chicken. The rice bowl was good. All in all - no, not going back.

My reply to the owner's response. Thanks for replying. Let's agree to disagree on the ribs and chicken. On the seating. You are entirely wrong and perhaps misinformed. The 4 tables were not waiting to be combined. There were spread throughout the restaurant, including the window bars, and we (the three parties of 2) were immediately sat in them, once the 6 were sat. And the fourth was left empty. It was left empty, despite additional 2s waiting, because behind us was a 4. So, the process repeated itself. Why was I surprised by the host's response? Because the other two sets of waiting twos - each went up to him to ask why we the twos couldn't sit at the empty tables. And he expressly explained that people would be sat in the order they entered the restaurant. No exceptions. If you were unaware of this, perhaps I've been helpful in...

We visited Space Jaru and we were all very impressed with the food. The highlights of our meal were the crispy Korean fried chicken, the beef dumplings, and the gochujang pork.

The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was served with a Korean BBQ sauce that was absolutely delicious. The beef dumplings were also very good. They were filled with tender beef and vegetables and were served with a light dipping sauce. The gochujang pork was another winner. The pork was cooked until it was tender and fall-apart, and the gochujang sauce gave it a nice kick.

We were also disappointed that they were out of the prawn pancake, but we were still very happy with our meal, we'll just have to come back. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable.

Overall, we had a great experience at Space Jaru. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and casual...
