Hong Kong Banjeom 0410 — Restaurant in Seoul

Visited this restaurant because of Mr. Baek Jungwon. Expectation 100/100, disappointment 100/100, satisfaction 10/100.

Food was mediocre. We ordered jajangmyeon, jjambong and tangsuyuk. Asked to pay right after ordering. Food served fast but was not hot, couldn't even be considered warm. Fried battered pork of tangsuyuk was hard and dry, and not crispy at all. The sweet and sour sauce was too thick (with a lot of corn starch added) and did not taste nice, just a lot of glucose syrup, white vinegar and corn starch. Jajangmyeon was so so, big portion but taste meh. Jjambong was mild.

Searched on naver map before visiting. They mentioned that their operating hours is 10am-10:30pm, last order at 10pm. We went in at 9pm, waited for around 10 mins to be seated, ordering, payment, and food serving all within 10 mins. Started eating at 9:20pm. 9:40pm the staff came to inform us that they are closed. We said ok and continue to finish our food. 3 mins after the staff came back and said the same thing. We said ok again. 3 mins after the same staff came and chased us out of the restaurant. It's 9:46pm and we have not finished our food. Perhaps misinformation on naver map that last order is at 10pm? Shop close at 10:30pm??

Mr. Baek if you see this review, I hope you will do something to this branch in hongdae because it was...

Severely disappointed with the service that was provided to the establishment, especially towards tourists. There is severe discrimination towards specific groups of tourists and it is unbearably blatant, without showing efforts to hide it.

Specifically, a young Korean girl with a pony tail and cardigan. She came over to our table while we were having our meal, and demanded that we shift our bags away to offer another group of customers; at this point in time the restaurant was half empty, and were were wit heavy baggage and jackets, so we had to hold onto our baggage throughout the remainder of our meal.

I highly discourage any tourist from trying here, you might lose your appetite like we did, if I could give 0-stars to the service and...

Chain of korean style chinese restaurants owned by a celebrity. Mostly famous for their black sauce noodles. We has the black sauce noodles, black sauce rice and sweet and sour fried pork. The rice came with an additional omelette on top. As long as you are clear that this is korean style chinese food and not actual chinese food, you can enjoy it for what it is.

The sauce is slightly on the sweet side, definitely not savoury. The fried pork has a nice crunch to it but the sauce was pretty weak. All in all, worth what it charges, which...
