24시 용산원조감자탕 — Restaurant in Seoul

I walked in here after finding my first, second, and third choice closed due to break time, etc. My expectation was low.

I had a group of 8 with me. No one is Korean except me. The ages vary from 9 to 79.

We finished the pot and we approached to asked for fried rice, the waitress said she will know and she will come. 20mins later, after she cleaned everything else, she noticed us that they don't serve us the fried rice unless we ordered two serve. They don't do one serve.

The question is why you don't notified us earlier? We ve been starving and waiting for you for 30mins, and that's what you told us? Simply because we are foreigner, just...
