WAYO — Restaurant in New Taipei

Overall I'll say it was very underwhelming.

Every table has the "all you can eat" sides sitting there. Seeing empty tables be filled with people that had old sides sitting there for over an hour is a little gross. Everything, esspecially the kimchi looked dried.

Speaking of the sides, I was sat, waiting for my friend. Picked at the sides a bit, but only a little since they didn't look appetizing. My friend arrived, we ordered, then moved tables since we ordered a lot. I mentioned I ate some sides(in Chinese), was acknowledged, and they didn't switch it out. Eventually a couple came and yeah, that's what they were served for sides.

The pancake was fine, i think better than what is typical in Taipei. I've had better at Dubu House and of course in South Korea.

The Rice cake with cheese was good only because the cheese. The sauce wasn't thick (which I like) and wasn't noticible. Overpowered by the cheese I guess.

The chicken wasn't special. We got a half and half. You can find better at a night market.

The spicy pork was very thin, fatty, and nothing special.

Nothing I'd recommend or...

Six different side dishes are delicious, and they are on the house. We order 3 dishes: Fried Kimchi pork: we still tasted the smell of the pig, maybe because the pork was not pickled properly. Seafood soup: the taste is not pleasant, the soup was too thick for us. The soup served with crabs, but no tools for cutting the big crabs. Hence, we couldn't enjoy crabs. Seafood pancakes: The pancakes fell apart easily, it should had been cooked more compact. Overall, the Korean dishes here were not...

Really not good. Everything is basic, hair in the food and not all menu items were available, i.e. no fried chicken dishes which are a center piece of the menu. We were seated in the basement and the ceiling sprang an active (water?) leak in the ceiling above us, quickly fillling a glass which we had to place under it as the waitstaff didn't care to fix...
