I have been going here for years, but had not been ere from 2017 to 2023. For 2024 I have been going at least x1 per month. I have been shocked at the decline.

The food is decent. However, the (free) water is frequently foul tasting - like something wrong with the pipes.

They have poor service and do not check up on the tables

Bad experience overall after going there 6+ months (this year) and then suddenly being charged for the side dishes ($4 surcharge). When I pointed out they charge the usual head server there said it was standard to charge but they had always been too nice not charge and that I was being unfair to the restaurant. I simply stated I didnt know they charged extra for side dish refills and that I had never been charged before and that no where did it say that - further, IF I had known I would not have gotten the refills as they are not worth $4. I was upset they changed policy without telling me and treating me differently than previous times all while claiming the high road of them being generous while insinuating that I was cheating them. I told them that I would pay having now understood that they charged this way and said they should just be clear and consistent with the rules.

The side dishes there are basic and not great - always: 1) kimchi (sometimes good sometimes bad), 2) soy bean sprouts (usuallly good) and 3) a basic korean cole slaw that sometimes has fish cakes. In Korean cuisine - this is a minimum and quite cheap on their end - further adding to my frustraiton.

Plain rice is $3 a bowl which is high.

I would say I will not go back but they are maybe the only Korean place in town (although I think there is one on 13th St). I would go back IF my family insists and I cant go anywhere else for Korean.
