Koreaans Restaurant Kimchi House — Restaurant in The Hague

Where do I even begin? The food? The service? The price?

I went to this restaurant with my partner with high hopes, considering the great reviews from other customers. However, the restaurant did not meet my expectations, or even the standards of any decent restaurant. To provide some context, I am a Korean national.

The service was terrible. There were two waiters at 6:30 pm during the busiest time of the day for any restaurant. Both waiters did not speak good English at all so it was difficult to converse with them and they did not provide us with sufficient information about any of the dishes we asked for. There were no labels on the menu whether each dish was vegetarian or not. So we ordered a a typically vegetarian dish in Korea (Jjajangmyun) and we found that it was made with a lot of meat in it. The other two dishes, Kimchi Jeon and Tteokbokki were also, unsurprisingly, terrible. Both dishes were 5 euros and each literally had 4-5 pieces. The Tteokbokki, which is a spicy ricecake dish, had an aftertaste of ketchup which baffled me. The difference in taste between what the restaurant served us and what they are supposed to taste like normally is like night and day. This makes sense considering the owners of the place are Chinese. The portions of the food were also incredibly tiny. We paid a total of 20 euros for 4 (tiny) dishes and we were left hungry after that. I left this restaurant feeling hungry, disappointed and alarmed that such an establishment can stay up and running. If it was possible, I wouldn't even give this place a one star rating, preferably no rating at all.

If you want to enjoy some decent Korean food, avoid this place at all costs. It is not worth your money at all and there are other Korean restaurants that will provide you with better...

DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. The staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly. The food was not authentic Korean because it's actually Chinese people running this restaurant. It tasted too salty and just plain disgusting. If you expect some good Korean barbecue, you will definitely be disappointed. They also only accept cash or Maestro card, but they won't tell you that until after you've eaten. The chiggae (soup) menu, which always includes the rice as one menu, does not include rice at this restaurant but again won't tell you until AFTER you've ordered and realized they haven't brought you the rice. (In most Korean restaurants, the menu indicates if they charge you extra for the rice-- this place, however, didn't). What an unpleasant experience. I would honestly advise you to stay away...

This was a horrible experience at many levels. Apart from the unfriendly staff, the food has NOTHING to do with Korean food. However, the most hurtful thing is that it does not represent Korean food, Korean hospitality and the way Koreans serve food. You will not find one place in Korea where you have to pay extra for side dishes. And ok, this is the Netherlands, so things might be a bit different, either way, to pay extra for kimchi (and they dare to call themselves Kimchi House) is preposterous and just silly.

Do not think this cook will serve Korean food, because it is not. Above all, it is not tasty, it is actually tasteless and one of the worst experiences I...
