Great food, bad service, terrible price

All vegan options taste amazing, for sure. The tofu (dubu jorim) tastes the best, great kimchi, standard jabché and mandu. Despite my lack of interest for soups, I'd also recommend the kimchi tchige. This place has lots of potential: authentic recipes, Korean owners (sort of family-owned), good atmosphere, soju options... But serving is just terrible. The servers always seem overwhelmed and they rarely know the menu, so you might have to just figure things out for yourself and hope that they pass on your order without mistakes, which happens a bit too often... Then, after waiting an hour for your food and eating it in a few minutes because the portions are pretty small, you order the bill, which might take another 10-20 minutes or more. As if that's not enough, you have to pay tips after you already payed for the bill, so now you're faced with this awkward situation of transfering money directly to the bank account of someone who barely ordered what you asked for... So yeah, go for the food expecting the worst from the service.
