MEI — Restaurant in Warsaw

I've changed my review, which I'd written when I visit this January, from five-star to one-star. This restaurant serves good Korean cuisine, I think so from the bottom of my heart.

I've remembered the food in the restaurant was great, when I went about 2 months ago, so I thought I wanted to go to the restaurant again and tried to phone for making a reservation just in case before I went there. Then, a staff member answered my phone and said "you don't need to reserve".

After that, I went to the restaurant soon and was surprised. A staff member of the restaurant said to me, "Have you made a reservation? We're full". I couldn't understand the situation, so I told her what I'd phoned before coming. However, she just repeated saying "we're full now" with behaving angrily. Her expression to us at that time was as if she was looking at something dirty. The scene in the restaurant was strange. Though a staff member said that I needn't reserve a table, there was a seat card showing 'reserved" on each table except for one table. I thought she might not want to let me use it because the vacant table was for 4 people. I didn't put up with their behavior, so I went to another Korean restaurant.

Even if I could have had good food in MEI, I wouldn't want to accept their rude behavior. In Warsaw, there were other great Korean...

Dogs are accepted in restaurant. Is that ok – decide by yourself. Dirty, unhygienic place. Drops of fat-dirt was hanging from ventilation pipe. Also the vent pipe was covered greasy dirt covereed with thick layer of dust. There was also greasy dirt in between cooking stove ant tabletop. I ordered as main dish kimchi bokkeumbap. According to meniu, this dish should be with ham. No ham found in the dish, instead I found a traditional Polish sausage (kielbasa). Kielbasa in Korean dish, are you f*king seriuos? Fooling your client is very low... This made me feel disappointed and angry. The whole dish tasted nothing Korean but kielbasa. The prices were the same as in others Korean restaurants of Warsaw, but quality is way worse. In resume – not worth it at all! Can’t understand where is the 4.6-star rating is coming from, it’s misleading and doesn’t reflect the reality… If you are in search for quality Korean food – try...

Not a good dinner. Rice accompanying the main dish seafood / meat / tofu soup was just not good , too hard, no flavour, not ready to serve. Two waitresses turned out arrogant and unprofessional. When we sat down and the table was wiped ( sprayed from high above ) I mentioned that the cleaning product leaves a strong smell the answer was ‘ So what do you want me to do, clean the table with water ?’. What a welcome … rudeness instead of showing some concern. On another occasion waitress put down a gyoza dish so roughly serving a six year old that she shoved her napkin off the table. She didn’t even bother to say sorry or pick it up, just walked off. Kimchi side dishes were lacklustre and disappointing including one which I believe was euro green beans chopped up likely from a tin doused with some kimchi flavour sauce. Better look elsewhere...
