[Sad News] Slow Service and Poor Management – March 2025 Update

I was looking forward to the yakiniku, but this night left me feeling a bit disappointed.

First, it took 45 minutes for the meat to arrive. After about 20 minutes, I asked about the delay, but we had to wait another 25 minutes. I didn’t expect to be tested for patience before even grilling the meat.

The drinks also took a while, and we waited about 30 minutes. It felt like we were waiting longer than enjoying our drinks.

To make things worse, the first dish to arrive was yakitori, not yakiniku. It was delicious, but I was surprised because I expected the BBQ to come first.

Then, the chijimi (Korean pancakes) we ordered as part of the reservation service arrived almost when we were done eating (and was a bit cold). What’s more, they asked us “Is the chijimi here?” while serving it—such an awkward moment (it seemed like they hadn’t tracked it).

The restaurant was clearly busy and hectic, so I tried to be patient and wait. However, even the kimchi didn’t arrive at first… I overheard other tables asking about delays too, and the staff kept apologizing.

It was a tiring night waiting for the food, and it seemed like the restaurant had exceeded its capacity. The staff were busy and stressed, but still, I wished the experience could have been smoother.
