We moved ourselves to a different table and the waitress gave a snide remark. We ordered the grilled meat and seafood platter and a family style soup. Our beers must have been left out because they were flat and had no flavor. We enjoyed all the pickled dishes so much that we had to order another set. Service is poor, ie. we couldn't get soup spoons for our soup and we had to ask several times for just a bowl of rice. The food was fresh, but I'm not sure if that makes up for the really bad service.

But main point in a restaurant is the food, and I have to say it's just meh! Nothing special about this place. The only reason I went here was because it was closer than S*eoul Garden or other places on Long Point. Overall, this place is a pass NAME: lichee SUBMITTED: 8/20/2008   LAST VISIT WAS: 06/2008 FREQUENCY: Visited 2-3 times MY REVIEW: It has declined, but I still think it's better than many of the other restaurants - mainly because it actually has a wine selection! I don't know. To me, the prices seem right in line with other Korean restaurants in town. I can't recommend it as much as T*ofu Village, which is right nearby.

We went for Mother's Day dinner and had a horrible time. The wait staff was inattentive and rude. Our order was incorrect and we were overcharged for the error. Appetizers made it out to the table after the entree and after we had to remind them. No help from the manager as he did not seem to care. Please do not patron this place. Take the short trip to Long Point and go to the better Korean restaurants in Houston.

The side dishes that came out were the best thing but very few to choose from. While were we there dining. The manager and a customer were yelling at each other in front of the dining customers. Not very professional. I will take my $$$ to another place. NAME: neko SUBMITTED: 11/14/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 7/2007 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: This place has the potential to be the best Korean restaurant in Houston, but for some weaknesses. The strong points of the place is the service that is very good -- attentive, prompt, and helpful, the meat and seafood dishes cooked on the grill at your table is usually very good and well marinated. Additionally, the rice dish such as their Bi Bim Bap is usually good to very good. Where this place falls short is the side dishes that Korean cuisine is famous for -- the pickled dishes are just so-so and some were just not authentic such as potato salads. Many of the other side dishes were just plain tasteless -- not even mildly spicy, just no flavor. If this place could get a better selection then it would truly be the best in town.

However, when we got to the pork, the meat was a little smelly, almost as if it were a bad cut of pork. I'm not a big fan of Korean food, especially with all the good chinese restaurants nearby, I'll go to the chinese place instead! NAME: cx SUBMITTED: 8/3/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 5/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: Very clean, new, well run restaurant with great food and excellent service. The bulgogi (sliced BBQ beef) was tender, the dol sot bimimbop (rice in a hot stone pot) was very good too. I don't know why the previous reviews of others were so down. The mandu (steemed dumpling) appetizer was a large serving and also good. I loved all the array of kimchi and other appetizers. If they wouldn't serve a dozen small appetizers, we would have more room to eat. I agree with previous reviews that the table was crowded (my only complaint). I'd rather have so many appetizers filling my table than have an empty table without them. I have been to Korea twice and to Korean restaurants too many times to count. The Long Point area is great (I can't deny it) but this local restaurant meets all of my needs.

We found the service to be good. We have been twice and I found the food to be a little pricey for the quality. NAME: RAM SUBMITTED: 5/11/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 3/2006 FREQUENCY: Visited 2-3 times MY REVIEW: I was excited that a new Korean retaurant was opening on Bellaire so that I wouldn't have to drive to Long Point each time. The design of the restaurant is nice... and that's about it. There are no vents, just a blasting A/C that made my food cold really quick. The bulgogi and gahlbi short ribs were average at best. The price per order for the meat was around $16 - also average. Their table for 4 people was barely enough room for 2 people dining. Another disappointment is that this restaurant does not offer the popular menu items (fish soup or jahb chae)you can get from the other korean restaurants. I was also told that they still do not have their beer license yet. Despite all the negatives, I'm willing to give the restaurant another chance before heading back to Long Point.
