Home Town Restaurant — Restaurant in Alaska

The food was delicious, but today and the 1 other time we were there we ran into the same waitress. The last time, after we were ready to pay she kept telling us to tip. She kept saying " tip , tip ". I honestly thought that was rude, tips is optional and I always tip, but don't need any waitress telling me to tip. Today I went with my family of 5 we had to wait for her to clean the table she sat us down. We sat for about 15 minutes then she brought the water pitcher and cups for us to pour ourselves. Another family came in after us and she sat them down and they got there water poured for them and got their side dishes within 5 minutes. We were still waiting for our side dishes. Our side dishes finally came and there was 7 side dishes, but the family that came in after us had 10 side dishes( yes I was watching her). We were done with our food and she brought our tickets. Not to mention it's an expensive place to eat, but everytime we go there the prices goes up for something on the menu. The total on our ticket didn't look right it was more than what I had added and she said tip is included because you have 5. She added $18 onto the total. We had eaten there before and never had the tip included in with our total just because we had 5 peoples. So prices on menus goes up and now they include tip with your total if you have 5 or more. I don't mind tipping and I usually tip well as long as I get good service and this time it was horrible except for the food it was good. $121 for good food but bad service , This will be our last time, we'll find a better korean restaurant that treat us...

Some of the best Korean food I’ve had anywhere. Well worth a visit if you’re craving Korean.

The customer service here isn’t ideal since there’s quite a few tables indoors but only 1 server to manage them all. We had to wait 15 minutes to order food after we had perused the menu and it was tough to get a hold of the waitress. It took 30 additional minutes for food to arrive and had to flag down the server again for water. They should consider bringing a water pitcher to the table like many other traditional Korean restaurants.

Now for the food, absolutely amazing. The Haneul Pajeon (seafood scallion pancake) was amazing. Huge portions, delicious flavor, nice amount of seafood and fresh scallions, not overly doughy. Really really well made.

Unlimited banchan was fantastic. All the korean side dishes were spot on but the egg, seaweed, pickled radishes and cucumbers were stand outs.

The grilled pork and beef was good although not the best quality I’ve seen. It’s fun to cook yourself however.

The squid stir fry was fantastic. The soft creamy napa cabbage, crunchy cucumbers and carrots, loads of squid perfectly tender and smothered in a gochujang based sauce was awesome.

Prices are definitely on the higher side but well worth it. Once you sit down, there’s no pressure to leave and was a fantastic experience. Wouldn’t hesitate...

Finally made it in after watching this place for years. Would see whole tour buses unloaded into it. Have seen it closed due to reservations. Always had wondered and heard great things.

Needless to say, the wait was worth it.

Keep in mind, this is a homestyle place. You can grab your drink from the cooler. Grandma will seat you and bus table, another lady does menus and runs food. Things might take longer, but this isn't a placed focused on speed. You can have it fast, you can have it right. You want fast, go get 비빔밥 at top bop.

Warning, we super over ordered, thinking it was a typical americanized place, so we took some home.

Daughter got 돌솥비빔밥 without realizing, because the menu's translation mostly lists the ingredients. Meaning it said "steam rice, egg, vegetable, beef". No complaints, she loves 비빔밥.

Wife got a noodle dish, again, wasn't sure what she was ordering since it listed ingredients.

I got goat stew, blood pudding, and got kimchi pancake to share.

If my Hangul was better i think this experience would be even more amazing.

I'd suggest maybe ordering a meal per two people, if you are going to have a proper Korean style meal. But I'm...
