FROM OTHER DINERS
I previously visited the Magok branch and enjoyed the food, so I decided to bring my foreign friend to the Gwanghwamun branch (located in D-Palace). While I expected a more striking interior given the location, it was relatively simple and modest. We ordered the Abalone Tteok-ga
Underwhelming experience..Service can be improved. As the waitress did not understand English, we were mistakenly served the wrong course, not what we wanted. The rice to go with the Hotpot was also totally forgotten and was served AFTER the meal was over! The so called “desert
Very unfortunate - the level of service for this KRW 40,000 per person meal was just underwhelming.. They rushed us out at 3pm - we made a reservation at half past one; One of the signature dishes wasn’t available, None of the red wines available, Only two out of 6-7 white wines
