Shybana Gwanghwamun Branch — Restaurant in Seoul

So to preface this - the score of this review is not because of the staff. They were very friendly overall and the food was prepared to a good standard (thoroughly cooked, fries are nice and crunchy, chefs obviously know what they're making etc.).

And as well prepared as the food may have been or the politeness of the staff, the one thing that lets this place down is the food itself. The recipes taste uninspiringly bland, the bacon fries made me feel like I was eating a diabetes inducing plate of sugar, the sausage corn bread was a flavourless lump that required you to buy one portion per person (so the price you see on the menu quickly becomes double if you need to have it), and as nice as the cheese lover's spaghetti might've been, I think it would've been better if it actually tasted of the cheese, cream sauce, and bacon/sausage it contained and not just pepper.

But once again - the problem here is not the staff in any way, shape, or form. It's that the menu itself is a tasteless mono-flavour experience that when compared to other restaurants in Seoul, is simply not worth the effort to eat.

It's basically the Korean version of Wagamama, but instead it's...

They call it "soul food" without truly understanding what it is. Still, if you're looking for casual American dining, if you need to load up on fat and carbs, this is an okay place. The giant meatball pasta is the best on the menu. Pretty generous portion, okay food. But don't look for deep...

미트로프가 먹고싶어서 미리 전화해서 메뉴의 유무, 가능한지를 확인하고 예약까지 하고 갔습니다.

도착해서 샐러드 잠발라야 미트로프 레모네이드 시켰는데 갑자기 미트로프 안된다고 하더군요. 품절이라고요.

예약한 이유 자체가 미트로프 때문이었기에 주문 홀딩을 부탁했습니다. 하지만 이미 조리 중이라서 불가하다고 하더라구요.

처음 메뉴확인 전화 받았던 직원 확인해서 미트로프가 있다고 하지 않았냐 컴플레인을 했지만, 전화했던 1시간 전에는 품절이 아니었다고 했습니다.

들어갔을때부터 예약명 얘기하고 왔는데 미트로프가 없었으면 미리 주문때 언급 해주셨으면 좋았을텐데 아쉽네요.

조리중인 음식비 결제했고 나온 레모네이드 비용 결제했고 샐러드는 조리중이 아니어서 처음에는 결제했다가 결제 취소 해주시더라구요.

개인적으로 감정이 역겨워서 음식은 버리고 나왔습니다. 25000원짜리 좋은 경험하고...
