“This place was a beautiful cultural experience. I ordered the spicy beef yukegaejang. It was the perfect balance of spicy and savory. The flavors were beautifully developed. It felt like the comfort of pulling up to grandma's table for a nice bowl of soup. After the rough week I have had, this soup almost fixed it all. I am so glad that someone recommended House of Taste to me.“
“Review updated after the management’s reply.______________I’ve dined here a few times with my wife. Got the food from the Spoon’s main menu and it was well prepared the first time. The second time the same dish she had had very little meat and too many super chewy greens. I tasted it both times and had to spit out both the chewy meat and the veggies, cuz they were super stringy. Dumplings were over fried and those chopsticks were the cheapest I’ve ever seen.Note: This is coming from someone who actually was a server for a long time and did all of it, including mopping floors, in both the nastiest suburban hibachi Asian place, upscale Asian fusion restaurants, and a whole range steakhouses and fine dining establishments around the country.This negative review is not brining me any pleasure but I’m hoping it will be taken seriously and they will address those things in a timely manner.Here’s the reason my overall rating is only 2 stars:these guys want you out of there asap before the closing time, and they aren’t shy to make sure that it is indirectly communicated through the most obnoxious pre-close I’ve ever experienced.I get that everyone wants to go home early but sitting at the restaurant 35 minutes before close with all the chairs put up and cleaning crew ruining the experience with mopping the floors right next to you, with super concentrated Lysol stinking up the whole place, while people are still eating…(!) That’s bad manners, at the very least, and at the worst completely rude and inappropriate. Not to mention, bad for your business.We literally walked across on the wet floor towards the exit almost slipping, with the main guy telling us to be careful… Not a single ‘Wet Floor’ sign in sight. ?Also, if the cleaning crew likes to listen to their own music, that’s cool, but have they not heard of headphones or earbuds…? I really like those awesome Mexican jams too but… having to listen to this dude’s phone on full blast out of his back pocket, competing with whatever was still playing on the system speakers… That is just ridiculous.The lesson here, don’t go later than an hour before they close if you don’t want to be disappointed. Unless of course the management or owners take this to heart and actually make changes.“
“I was able to order fairly quickly and service was fine. I purchased the Dolsot Bibimbap with Octopus to-go for $22.34 after tax. It was ready within 15 minutes, and when I got home, the food was still warm. Bibimbap was delicious, however, I wish there was more octopus seeing I spent $4 more for it. This was my third time purchasing food here, first time getting it to-go. The main factor for giving it four stars is the fact the majority of their food is pricey.“
