Yuk Dae Jang Gardena — Restaurant in Gardena

Korean spot serving up various stew/hot pot options. They serve alcohol as well. Came here on a Wednesday night around 6:30pm and there was no wait.

Second call, I reach a rude employee that was unaware of what I was saying. I asked for owner or manager and was met with the why and when I explained it, she simply failed to understand what I meant. I explained what I meant, only to be hung up on rudely. Not sure if I would be willing to try food at a place where the staff is ill equipped to answer extremely simple questions and lack the ability to discuss simple matters.
