The food was good - but not markedly better than the other Korean restaurants I frequent in Brussels. Despite the food being savory and well presented, the experience was HORRIFYING. Our reservation was made for 13:30, but 13:45 was also an option for reservations. We arrived on time. We were told within 5 minutes of sitting down that we needed to hurry up and order, otherwise we would not be able to eat.

When we paid we were asked if we enjoyed ourselves and we said “no.” The waitress (who was the daughter we assume of the owner) said something to the owner in Korean, and the owner laughed loudly. Abysmal dining experience. We ordered a starter, a main and 3 glasses of wine each, and we paid 68€ EACH. Michelin rated - but worse service than McDonalds, PLUS sprayed with chemicals and mocked.
