This Saturday, I managed to and was really happy about it. I love Korean food. Unfortunately, we did not get past the bad host service to be seated. When we arrived at 7.30pm, the lady manning the reception, the reservations and the cashier told us that there was no table. She asked us to wait. What was the use of taking a reservation and not honouring it? So we waited outside. After 10 mins, she said we could be seated as they were preparing our table, and she gestured to the left side of the restaurant. While standing at the reception, she flipped open the menu and asked us what we wanted to order. Then she proceeded to gesture impatiently at the differnt pages of the menu and recommend at a very quick pace what was available. After her pitch, she tapped her fingers impatiently on the order form and asked us several times what we wanted. She even threw out multiple choices when we were hesitating. we have not even taken a good look at the menu!!! We felt so pressurised and requested more time to make a decision. Then she was distracted by a customer making a payment and even got into an argument with her. While this was going on, she gave our table away to a family of 4. Why couldn't she seat us first? We inquired if she had given our table away and she gestured to the right side of the restaurant at the family who was just finishing and indicated that would be our table. HUH?! All in all, we waited half an hour from reserved time slot and we had no table. <br />Our mood was spoilt by the hostess' lack of professionalism and cold hospitality. We don't mind queuing and waiting for good food if the dining experience is good overall. However, if we received bad service, we would not be able to enjoy even the best food in the world.<br />We walked out and went to Fifi at Eslite Hsin Yi. The service there was exceptional and the warm attention of the waiting staff restored our moods that night.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988327007179680766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-85835671145509829032009-06-20T17:28:14.391+08:002009-06-20T17:28:14.391+08:00EatTravelEat: yes.. here and Mindong both grill fo...EatTravelEat: yes.. here and Mindong both grill for you when they are not super busy. i forgot to mention, i think the fan is in the table because it wasn't smoky at all!<br /><br />dessertobsessed: yes.. it was hard to find good korean food when i first came back, but i found some favorites!joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929132028327934282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-58912631715318601332009-06-05T08:56:49.970+08:002009-06-05T08:56:49.970+08:00korean food is my absolute FAVORITE food in the wh...korean food is my absolute FAVORITE food in the whole world, but i can never find good korean food when i'm in taipei! the kimchi always tastes really really weirdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-13519309904580233882009-06-04T13:41:56.871+08:002009-06-04T13:41:56.871+08:00Very interesting panchan here.
