The foods are overpriced for its quality and portion. The waiter was not all that welcoming and slow to service.

We ordered a Yukke Jang Men as an end of meal, but very unfortunately it was quite below our expectation. The soup is just a hot water with a spicy taste and missing something important. I wanted to tell this a kitchen staff but they were chatting in the kitchen and didn't notice our leaving the restaurant. Their lack of hospitality was also disappointing.

Quando vedi l’entrata credi di essrti sbagliato poi entri e il locale non e’ il massimo .Quando provi il cibo e il modo di mangiarlo allora cambi idea .Per me piu’ che positivo.Ci ritornerò.
