This
restaurant
experience
was
fairly
unique.
In
summary
can
be
described
as
lots
of
rules
and
no
mercy.
Dining
here
was
truly
an
exercise
in
comprehending
the
rules
and
numbers
before
ordering
and
tasting
the
food.
Although
not
written
in
the
menu
nor
signage,
the
restaurant
obligates
each
1x
diner
/
guest
at
the
table
to
fulfill
orders
of
1x
rice
+
1x
salad
+
1x
dip
sauce
regardless
of
each
individual's
dietary
preference.
This
requirement
may
be
fulfilled
partly
or
completely
by
the
rice
/
salad
/
sauce
that
comes
as
part
of
an
entree
soup
or
BBQ
combo
ordered
by
each
guest.
However,
if
the
entree
combo
comes
with
only
rice
and
not
salad,
then
that
particular
guest
still
has
to
fulfill
their
obligation
for
the
salad
and
dipping
sauce
via
additional
charge.
Then,
regardless
of
the
number
of
guests
seated
at
the
table,
each
table
receives
5x
plates
of
banchan
+
2x
plates
of
banchan
refills
complimentary
(7
plates
total).
Table
of
2
gets
the
same
allowance
as
table
of
6.
Additional
banchan
refills
needed
for
a
large
party
were
charged
a
la
carte.
Being
charged
for
banchan
was
a
first
time
experience
for
myself
at
a
Korean
restaurant
in
North
America
(East
coast,
Midwest,
West
coast,
and
Canada).
After
placing
our
order
and
receiving
our
food,
we
appreciated
that
the
meats
in
the
BBQ
combos
were
seasoned
evenly.
The
beef
was
prime
cut
per
restaurant
and
the
galbi
(beef
ribs)
were
bone
in.
The
stone
bowl
soups
were
served
hot.
Service
gratuity
is
20%
on
your
total
bill.
Due
to
1
wait
staff
serving
about
4
tables,
it
was
difficult
getting
refills
on
water.
