"The prices here are outrageous. I understand that inflation is a factor, but charging $21 for a small soon tofu soup that doesn't contain any of the advertised seafood is excessive. An appetizer for $6 that consists of just a few leaves of seaweed is also hard to justify—at that price, they could easily buy dozens of boxes at Costco or similar stores. The $34 for the LA galbi was particularly disappointing; it was mostly fat and lacked any flavor due to an absence of marinade. It was tasteless—like raw meat simply sprinkled with salt and pepper. We even asked the waitress several times to confirm that our galbi order was correct because it was so bland.
The selection of banchan was limited and average, and the steamed rice was of poor quality. While the japchae tasted decent, it was overly greasy and lacked a cut egg omelet, and at $18 for such a small portion, it hardly felt worthwhile.
The only positive aspect was the service, which was attentive and efficient. Unfortunately, I can only give this restaurant one star for the incredibly overpriced and flavorless Korean food it offers."
