To Dam Gol Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Whitpain Township

We came for dinner around 6PM for 2 and the restaurant was full except 1-2 tables. There was a large party in the back that seemed to combine 2-3 tables. We luckily were seated right away. The restaurant is quite small, there’s maybe 10 tables total. The atmosphere was very homey and felt like a family restaurant where customers and staff were very friendly and familiar with each other.

We got our menus and were served hot tea in a plastic pitcher. After putting our order in, we didn’t receive the banchan until just a few minutes before our appetizer arrived.

We ordered the Seafood Pancake for our appetizer and it’s probably one of the best pancakes I’ve had. It tasted very good and authentic without the oiliness/greasiness. It was medium-sized and could probably serve 2-4 people. There’s a good crunch to it and the inside of the pancake was not too undercooked. Would highly recommend getting the pancake if you decide to visit!

I ordered Galbi Tang, which is a beef rib soup that has meat and clear noodles. It comes with a small bowl of rice. The flavor of the dish reminded me of egg drop soup but with a strong dashi or seafood flavor. Galbi Tang is known for its delicate flavor but I couldn’t help but notice the salty profile in this dish. I don’t think I would try this dish again as I prefer a thicker and savory soup, such as Galbijjim.

In terms of service, I understood there was a large party for the staff to attend to; however, even after the party left, we felt quite neglected and out of place. We’re Asian but we were the only non-Korean customers in the restaurant and felt the staff did not want to attend to us. Our banchan were not refilled, we did not get water despite asking for it, and they did not check in during our dining experience to see if we needed anything. We did notice they were more attentive to the other Korean customers and wonder if maybe there’s a bit of a language barrier at play.

Overall, To Dam Gol is a cute, family-oriented restaurant that’s located in a small parking lot off the main road. The Seafood Pancake was amazing and a must-try. However, the rather poor service and the overly salty Galbi Tang left us desiring more. We’re unlikely to return...

일단 여기 키 크신 웨츄래스 는 너무 불 친절하고 take out 할때도 팁 달라고 합나다. 기분이 나쁩니다 . 여기에 단골인데 저번주 아는 형님이 우럭을 잡아서 매운탕 끓여 주는 것으로 갔는데 재료는 우리가 가져가고 돈도 다 냈는데 무지 눈치 주고 괭장히 불 친절하고, 소다 하나 줬다고생 색 내고 내가 언제 달라고 그랬나 ? 물도 안 주고 반찬도 안 주고 돈은 돈대로 냈는데 왜 그런지 모르겠습니다. 밥 공짜로 줬다고 하는데 음식값에 다 들어가 있습니다 . 굉장히 기분이 나빠서 올립니다 . 여기 사장님 글 안읽고 신경 안 쓰시나요? 화장실은 왜 이렇게 더러워 조금 깨끗하게 관리 좀 하시지. 블루벨의 다른 식당이 없어서 그런가? 돈 좀 버시면은 신경 좀 써주세요 . 친절하고 상냥한 서비스하는 아가씨들로 바꾸 시고. 사장님 아드님 괜찮으신 분인데 오늘은 서비스 말씀하시는 거 정말 기분 안 좋습니다 .

First of all, the tall waitress here is so rude and asks for a tip even when ordering takeout. It makes me feel bad. I’m a regular here, but last week, an older brother I know caught a sea bass and made a spicy fish stew for us. We took the ingredients and paid for it, but he was really rude and didn’t care at all. He made a fuss when I gave him a soda and said, “When did I ask for it?” He didn’t even give me water or side dishes, and I paid the full price, but I don’t know why. He said he gave me a free meal, but it was all included in the price of the food. I’m really upset, so I’m posting this. Didn’t you read the owner’s post and don’t care? Why is the bathroom so dirty? Please clean it up a little. Is it because there are no other restaurants in Bluebell? If you make some money, please pay more attention. Please change the girls to be kind and gentle. The owner’s son is a nice guy, but today, he’s talking about the service, which really makes me feel bad.

首先，这里的高个子Wechuras非常不友好，即使出去也要给小费。 我心情不好。 我是这里的常客，上周，我认识的一个朋友钓了石斑鱼，然后去给我们做辣炖菜，我们拿走了所有的原料并付了钱，但他非常粗鲁和不友好，并抱怨给我们一个。苏打水并问我什么时候要的？ 他们不给我水和小菜，我付了尽可能多的钱，但我不知道为什么。 他们说他们给了我免费食物，但这些都包含在食物费用中。 我发这个帖子是因为我感觉很糟糕。 老板，你不读书也不关心吗？ 为什么浴室这么脏？你能把它弄干净一点吗？ 是因为没有其他 Bluebell 餐厅吗？ 如果你赚了钱，请注意。 换成善良友善的服务小姐。 老板儿子人很好，但今天一谈起服务我就觉得很不好。

Trước hết, Wechura cao lớn ở đây rất không thân thiện và yêu cầu tiền boa ngay cả khi đi chơi. Tôi cảm thấy tồi tệ. Tôi là khách thường xuyên ở đây, và tuần trước, một người bạn mà tôi biết đã bắt được cá đá và đến làm món hầm cay cho chúng tôi. Chúng tôi lấy hết nguyên liệu và trả tiền, nhưng anh ấy cực kỳ thô lỗ và không thân thiện, còn phàn nàn về việc đưa cho chúng tôi một miếng. soda và hỏi tôi đã yêu cầu nó khi nào? Họ không cho tôi nước hay món ăn kèm, và tôi đã trả nhiều nhất có thể, nhưng tôi không biết tại sao. Họ nói họ cho tôi đồ ăn miễn phí nhưng tất cả đều được tính vào tiền ăn. Tôi đăng bài này vì tôi cảm thấy rất tệ. Sếp đây đọc không thấy cũng không quan tâm à? Tại sao phòng tắm lại bẩn thế? Bạn có thể giữ nó sạch sẽ hơn một chút được không? Có phải vì không có nhà hàng Bluebell nào khác? Nếu bạn kiếm được một số tiền, hãy chú ý. Thay đổi nó thành những cô gái phục vụ tốt bụng và thân thiện. Con trai của ông chủ là một chàng trai tốt, nhưng tôi cảm thấy rất tệ khi anh ấy nói về dịch vụ ngày hôm nay.

En primer lugar, los Wechuras altos aquí son muy antipáticos y piden propina incluso cuando salen. Me siento mal. Soy un cliente habitual aquí, y la semana pasada, un amigo que conozco pescó pescado de roca y fue a prepararnos un guiso picante. Tomamos todos los ingredientes y pagamos por ello, pero fue extremadamente grosero y antipático, y se quejó de darnos un. refresco y preguntando ¿cuándo lo pedí? No me dieron agua ni guarniciones y pagué todo lo que pude, pero no sé por qué. Dicen que me dieron comida gratis, pero está todo incluido en el costo de la comida. Publico esto porque me siento muy mal. Jefe, ¿no lees y no te importa? ¿Por qué está tan sucio el baño? ¿Podrías mantenerlo un poco más limpio? ¿Es porque no hay otros restaurantes Bluebell? Si gana algo de dinero, preste atención. Cámbielo por chicas de servicio amables y amigables. El hijo del jefe es un buen tipo, pero hoy me siento muy mal cuando habla...

Terrible Service and Discrimination The waitress forced me to tip her, and this outrageous behavior happened twice! When I checked out, she shoved the bill at me and demanded I choose the recommended 18% tip, which was after tax! I told her I needed to calculate it myself. She then started badmouthing me and the tip in Korean to the customers at the next table, judging me to my face!

I stood my ground and told her I should never tip on the tax! There were plenty of Korean and American customers, and she targeted only me with this nonsense! Not a single other table got this treatment.

The last time this happened, I also refused to tip 18% after tax. After I tipped 15% before tax, she snatched the bill and calculated it in front of me, only letting us go when she was satisfied with the amount.

I will never go to this restaurant again. They are full of national origin discrimination and show zero respect to their customers! This place...
