    My non korean boyfriend went here with his non korean friends. The restaurant didn’t show them the menu and just gave them the price: $13 for a bottle of soju and $13 for a dried fish and peanut plate to munch. Him and his friends decided to order those as well as a bottle of beer and two shots of liquor. At the end, the lady wrote the bill and brought it to them. Soju and the fish/peanut plate were written in korean and was listed as $30 each. The prices of the beer and the shots were reasonable. But because the ladies knew that their customers weren’t korean, they wrote the soju and fish plate in korean with $30 next to each. My boyfriend then asked them why it’s $30 and the lady proceeds to say that $30 per soju bottle and $30 per dry fish/peanut plate is correct. She claimed that she never said $13. He then calls me and I talk to her in korean and she is surprised so she brings another lady to talk to me. That lady just yells and says that this is their price and hangs up. So unless you want to get cheated on price, don’t come here. You can go to any korean restaurant and pay half the price of what they charge you here!

    Long story short if you're not a rich Korean uncle who's gonna spend over a rack here they're not even going to look at you. It's not a restaurant and it's barely a bar. It's a Korean karaoke with ladies if you know what I mean. A bottle of soju DOES cost $30 bucks. When I was shocked and asked if it was right, their response was, "We're not a food establishment." If you're unhappily married and want some female company for an exorbitant price, this may be the place for you but it's not really a place for the public. I'd say the entire operation is pretty questionable from a legal standpoint.

    $30 might sound like $13 with a thick accent. Just saying. It's not really a food place. It's a bar.

    There used to be some really pretty korean ladies here a few years back but now it's just a bunch of old women in their late 40's.
