호화반점 (Hohwabanjeom) — Restaurant in Seoul

Many people will agree that it is common sense that while customers are enjoying their food, the staff does not put the washed cups on the table and put the chapsticks inside of the table.

Normally, the staff does this kind of arrangements work before they serve and/or after they serve the customers. It is common sense that the staff cannot interfere in the customers' meal time.

I think that if the owner wants to meet the average service requirement in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, he or she needs to benchmark the other professional restaurants nearby.

In terms of food, well, whereas many reviewers mentioned that it is good, I felt its food was somewhat salty. Personally, I wasn't satisfied with it. I will monitor the others' reviews regarding this restaurant to ensure my personal opinion.

For your information, the mid-aged man staff was so kind and served me...

This restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember (it did recently relocate to a new location just 30 meters away from the old location). It is no longer the "best" Koreanized Chinese restaurant in town that it once was, but it is one of those restaurants that has a nostalgic value for many of those who live in the Apgujeong area. There is something comforting in the fact that the taste of jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk here hasn't changed significantly...

The food is WAY too bland and the parking valet is WAY too expensive for what it's worth. The fried pork, 탕수육, has a special plating technique but other than that, nothing about it is special. A nice, quiet setting though and the food comes out...
