I met a client here for lunch. He is a Korean national and recommended the restaurant.\r
\r
The Sign outside was in Korean with Goong Jeon in much smaller font that was difficult to see when driving by Crain Highway- fortunately we like most have navigation.\r
\r
I had a negative experience but only because of my timing. There were 3 Korean tour buses which arrived while I was walking in so the place was packed and the service while very friendly was lacking because they were just overwhelmed.\r
\r
The buffet was out of the question, only again because of the crowd. I was lucky to get a table. One thing I liked was a button on the table that summoned the waitress. This helped greatly. \r
\r
I ordered the Miyuk Gook- which sounded really good (light seaweed and beef soup), instead I recieved Miso soup. No big deal, having waited tables in my youth I understood. The Miso Soup was very good.\r
\r
My client had several recommendations, and I was disappointed that none of them were from the authentic Korean section. Incidentally they offer Chinese and Japanese fare too.For the main course I ordered the Moo Mandu (beef and vegetable dumplings)- this wasn't prepared very well. Probably because the kitchen was rushed.\r
\r
We never saw our waitress again after she took our order, other staff took care of us- thank goodness for that button at the end of the table.\r
\r
I think if I return, it will be during a week night. I suggest giving it a try. I don't think my experience was the norm.
