'C'est de loin le meilleur restaurant coréen que j'ai visité récemment. Je suis tellement ravi(e) d'avoir un tel établissement dans notre région ! C'est une chance de pouvoir savourer une cuisine coréenne authentique au milieu d'une offre culinaire si diversifiée. Le service, tant de la part du chef que du personnel, était impeccable. Je vous recommande vivement d'y aller !'
The jjamppong broth had the smoky flavor which I feel like a lot of other restaurants miss. First time having chicken tangsuyuk & wow, amazing. Can't remember the last time I was amazed by chicken dish. Will def be back when traveling in the area.
We went to there around 5 pm, which wasn't rush time. When we entered the restaurant, there was only one table of customers. By the time we started eating, there were NO other customers in the entire restaurant besides us (you can see this from the pictures).
When I first entered the there I mentioned that I didn't want to sit too close to the entrance & cashier, but the lady said two ppl only small table. When I sat down & realized it wasn't busy, I asked again to change table, but she still refused. This is what I don't understand; there were obviously many empty tables, yet she put two people at an uncomfortable small table.
The food was ok, so even though it was an uncomfortable dining experience, we still left a 15% tip. But I would never come back…..
When we left, the restaurant was still not much customer (only 2 ppl) It's ok small table for two ppl, but there were clearly empty tables available, & then the customers asked to change table because they felt uncomfortable sitting there. I couldn't think of any reason to refuse them.
I stopped into Busan for a quick bite after getting groceries & got one of the best spicy meat sauce noodles I've ever had. It succeeded on all levels with perfect texture noodles, rich meat sauce that wasn't too oily or salty & had quality fresh pork in it & no filler, & the noodles were legit spicy which was a pleasant surprise! On top of everything the staff were very kind & & prices were super fair. I saw some of the other food & can't wait to come back to try more!
I've been so eager to try this place & we finally did. I find sitting arrangements are not ideal bit tight given the space. We were party of 3 me & my husband & toddler. There were 2 other tables with 4 chairs available but lady assigned us the one in the corner which was extremely tight. When I requefor another one, she said no can do but to find out later on another group of 3 (all adults) be seated there- no reservation. Food was ok, perhaps I had too high expectations. It simply didn't wow us. & I didn't the waitress wasn't the kindest per say. When we left restaurant, no thank you, no goodbye bit unusual for korean restaurant. Overall, if we were to be in the area & passing by I might consider second visit but wouldn't go extra mile like we did today.
Here's a polished, natural-sounding version of your review while keeping your tone honest & balanced:
I had been really eager to try this place, so we finally made the trip-& honestly, it was a bit of a mixed experience.
The seating arrangement wasn't ideal. We were a party of three (my husband, our toddler, & me), & although there were a couple of tables with four chairs available, we were assigned a very tight corner table. I asked if we could move, but was told it wasn't possible. Later on, I noticed another group of three adults being seated at one of those tables without a reservation, which was a bit frustrating.
As for the food, it was okay. Maybe my expectations were just too high, but it didn't really wow us.
Service-wise, the waitress wasn't particularly warm, & when we left, there was no'thank you' or'goodbye,' which felt a bit unusual-especially for a Korean restaurant where hospitality is typically a highlight.
Overall, if I happen to be in the area, I might consider giving it another try, but I wouldn't go out of my way like we did this time.
