This is repeated visit. Eating our favorite food Gamjatang. Side dishes are good with a few non spicy ones and server is the usual nice Malay girl. It is nice to see familiar place. I am going back tomorrow.

Not very crowded for a Monday dinner. Pork was ok, but beef could be abit better. Too thinly sliced and difficult to cook as it would fall through the holes òn the grill.

it was a little noisy but bearable. Food is actually quite expensive considering how we had to bbq the meat ourselves. seemed a bit understaff as well. we thought going to HDL seemed cheaper in comparison.

Book a big group for father's day celebration.. Called to confirm too but was given 2 small tables that were separated.. There were 2 groups that came just before and after.. they were given a big table just beside us.. highlighted to manager and she was very rude.. we didn't want to inconvenience the other customers but it was a very unpleasant experience.

I brought my friend to try the Gamjatang, my favorite spicy pork bone soup. The sides dishes are really good, only 1 out of 6 types was spicy. The soup is very good. As usual the service really needs improvement. Overall it is good as the food compensates for the sub standard service.

Service staff were overwhelmed when it was fully booked out. Missing utensils and plates, forgotten orders but kudoos to service staff who tried very hard to keep it altogether. Also double checked that order was not served by kitchen and ensured we were not billed incorrectly.

We went at 5pm, thankfully, to beat the crowd. Even when the place is not crowded, service was laggy, slow and terrible. For our table of 5, they gave us only 1 set of side dish for 3 pax. Hence we kept having to call them to replenish but very slow. When the crowd built up, the service was even worse. They chased us out and did not even wait for us to finish properly. The red head girl hurriedly took out the charcoal and made a mess of ashes on the table. It was really unpleasant. Even when they chased us out, there is no cashier at the counter to handle our bill. People could walk out easily without paying. Food is good but very slow serving. Much improvements are needed.
