Hi Minh, Sorry about that experience. However, even though the restaurant might look empty at that specific moment, if there are reservations for those tables, we unfortunately cannot give them away. I believe our staffs kindly informed you about that already. Calling and making reservations can guarantee a table next time. Thank you for your understanding.

We ordered by phone bibimbap and Bokkeum. The food quality and quantity are below average, and the price is 70% more expensive than one in Montreal. We understand that the Korea food in Rimouski might be a little more expensive than those in Montreal because of availability, but quality of food is very disappointing….

Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre commentaire. Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre que votre expérience n’a pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Nous sommes toutefois surpris concernant le bibimbap, car c’est l’un de nos plats les plus appréciés par notre clientèle. Nous mettons beaucoup de soin dans la préparation de nos namuls dans le bibimbab afin d’offrir une expérience authentique et de qualité. Il est possible que le format pour emporter ait influencé votre appréciation, puisque certains plats, comme le bibimbap, sont parfois meilleurs lorsqu’ils sont dégustés sur place, avec les différentes textures et la présentation fraîchement préparée. Nous prenons votre commentaire au sérieux et continuerons toujours à travailler pour offrir la meilleure qualité possible à nos clients. Nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau afin de vous faire vivre une meilleure expérience. ____________________ Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We were, however, a little surprised by your comments about the bibimbap, as it is one of the dishes most appreciated by our customers. We put a lot of care into preparing our namuls for our bibimbap in order to provide an authentic and high-quality experience. It is possible that the takeout format influenced your experience, as some dishes, such as bibimbap, are sometimes best enjoyed fresh at the restaurant, where the different textures and freshly prepared presentation can be fully appreciated. We take your feedback seriously and will continue working hard to provide the best possible quality for our customers. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a better experience.

The restaurant is always busy, apparently very popular here, most of the food were good, Unfortunately we found a long hair sticky with the food, looks like it has been boiled for a long time. I still tipped 15%, for the waiter and the waitress, anyway the ower cancelled the payment for this dish which is at least what she should do, but her attitude was just arrogant and disrespectful, i didnt drive 6 hrs from Montreal to eat someone's hair and be treated like this. You dont need to remind me several times about that u give us a free dish, how wonderful it is!

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Je suis heureuse de savoir que vous avez apprécié la majorité de nos plats. Votre groupe était composé de huit personnes, adultes et enfants, dont plusieurs avaient les cheveux longs noirs. Lorsque vous m'avez signalé la présence d'un cheveu, je vous ai expliqué la situation et j'ai annulé le prix du plat. Oui, je vous ai mentionné à plusieurs reprises que le plat serait retiré de votre facture, simplement pour vous rassurer que vous n'auriez pas à le payer. Ce n'était pas pour attendre des remerciements ni pour me mettre en valeur, mais pour m'assurer que la situation était claire. Vous qualifiez mon attitude d'arrogante et d'irrespectueuse. Pourtant, je faisais simplement mon travail en vous expliquant pourquoi il nous était difficile d'affirmer que ce cheveu provenait de notre cuisine. Le cheveu que vous nous avez montré était un long cheveu noir, alors qu'aucun de nos cuisiniers n'a de longs cheveux. De plus, vous étiez installés sur notre terrasse lors d'une journée très venteuse. Dans ces conditions, il est malheureusement possible qu'un cheveu provenant de l'extérieur se retrouve dans une assiette. Je comprends que cette situation ait été décevante, surtout après une longue route depuis Montréal. Toutefois, la distance parcourue ne permet pas de conclure que le cheveu provenait de notre cuisine. J'ai tout de même choisi de retirer le plat de votre facture par considération pour vous et afin de régler la situation de façon respectueuse. Je respecte le fait que chacun puisse partager son expérience. En revanche, je crois qu'il est tout aussi important que les conclusions tirées reposent sur des faits plutôt que sur des suppositions. _________________ Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the majority of our dishes. Your group consisted of eight people, including adults and children, and several members of your group had long black hair. When you brought the hair to my attention, I explained the situation to you and I cancelled the charge for the dish. Yes, I did mention several times that the dish would be removed from your bill, simply to reassure you that you would not have to pay for it. It was not because I was looking for recognition or expecting thanks, but because I wanted to make sure the situation was clear. You described my attitude as arrogant and disrespectful. However, I was simply doing my job by explaining why it was difficult for us to conclude that the hair came from our kitchen. The hair you showed us was a long black hair, while none of our cooks have long hair. In addition, you were seated on our patio on a particularly windy day. In those circumstances, it is unfortunately possible for a hair or other particles from outside to end up in a dish. I understand that this situation was disappointing, especially after driving six hours from Montreal. However, the distance travelled does not prove that the hair came from our kitchen. Despite the circumstances, I chose to remove the dish from your bill as a gesture of consideration and to resolve the situation respectfully. I respect that everyone is entitled to share their experience. However, I also believe that reviews should reflect facts rather than assumptions.

The food is good, but it’s expensive for what you get. Korean BBQ option would be nice to be developped.

We both enjoyed our meals. The beef bokkeum was a little too strong on the soy sauce but was still happy with it. I would recommend it. The service on the other hand, was not the greatest. They were quite busy but we had to ask for more water and ask for the bill and she never checked on us to see how it was going or if we needed anything else, even when clearing tables nearby.

Beef bulgogi had amazing flavors and was one of the best I have had. Portion sizes were fairly small and expensive for 30$. Additionally , a definite language barrier. First time I called to order takeout a lady answered in French heard my English request, paused and then just hung up on me which I thought was ridiculously rude. Anyhow I called back and same lady muttered something and passed off phone to a male that could speak English but didn't understand what I was saying very well at all. When I arrived to pick up order the server spoke English well and promptly greeted me and served me and I was on my way. Perhaps you should rethink who is answering the phone for orders.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration you experienced on the phone. As a small restaurant in eastern Canada, where French is primarily spoken, language can sometimes be a challenge. We do require our team to speak basic english but we understand this wasn’t your experience and we apologize for that. Thank you for your understanding and hope to serve you again.
