    Most of us were first-time visitors and were hosted by a local friend who recommended this place. When we were leaving, someone suddenly shouted “Hey!” several times to call us back and tell us to clean up. It felt abrupt and uncomfortable, especially since we weren’t aware of this expectation beforehand. There are many polite ways to get someone’s attention, but they chose the harshest one. The Korean-style chicken was fine but the soup was not good. Not worth to go again! Reply to owner: Hello, Thank you for your response. I’m not upset about the self-service policy itself — I understand that many cafeteria-style restaurants ask customers to clear their tables. The issue was the way it was communicated. Being yelled at repeatedly and loudly was not a good experience for us. Being loudly yelled at, and especially being told “let me educate you,” is not respectful customer service in any setting. A simple, polite reminder would have been completely fine, and we would have appreciated clearer signage or a calm explanation. We were part of a larger group hosted by a local friend who paid the bill and handled the tipping. If you look at my original review, you’ll see that none of us were complaining about cleaning up; we simply didn’t see any signage and were surprised by the tone directed at us. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

    The Bibimbap lacked flavor, besides the Korean Corn Dog and the red bean Taiyaki(Bungeoppang) pastry was good.
