My food was tasty, and the atmosphere was nice--its a nice small and quiet place. However it wasnt a super enjoyable experience, the service was not very good and they made me pay more than I should've.no physical menus were provided so our meal started off with everyone staring down at their phones looking at a digital menu.Vegetarian and vegan options were NOT marked on the menu.When asked about vegan options, they made a good suggestion but then brought the food out with an egg on top. They took the food back when I mentioned it and they came back one minute later with a bowl without an egg. I hope they didn't just scoop the egg out of the bowl and return it to me. They didn't really apologize, and when they took the bowl away they didn't let me know how long it would take to prepare a new one. Luckily it was very quick. The lack of communication and just in general lack of words didn't make for a pleasant enjoyable experience thoughWe ran out of water at our table and our pitcher was never replaced.Also you have to go up to the counter to pay--we didn't realize that for a good few minutes. Maybe a sign (or a larger sign) to indicate that would be nice, or if a server mentioned it or something that would be nice (our server didnt talk to us other than getting our order). It isn't a big deal but we were waiting a little bit before realizingThe waiter suggested bibimbap to me, and I said that sounded good. They asked if I wanted it in a stone bowl and I said sure. A stone bowl is $2 extra and I would not have said yes if the waiter mentioned that--I feel cheated there.Additionally I don't think the menu prices are accurate. The stone bowl bibimbap is listed at $16.45, and I paid $19.72, which would have to mean it was taxed ~19.9% which doesn't seen correct. If they are charging more than the menu price then that's pretty unethical and I want my money back.My receipt isn't itemized either it just says "custom amount" which is completely unhelpful. It also doesn't show the before and after tax amounts which makes it even worseMy food was quite tasty, and the mushrooms were super flavourful. I got the tofu bibimbap in a stone bowl and it was all very flavourful. The service and shady money practices were sub par though. I don't think I will be coming here again.Vegetarian options: They aren't marked on the menu but the bibimbap with tofu is vegetarian. If you don't eat eggs make sure to ask for it without an egg

The food here was authentic, flavourful and very well priced! The portions were also great and there was a fair variety on the menu. The fried chicken was very crispy and fresh. The bulgogi and bibimbap were all very flavourful and the sunny side up egg was perfect. Our server was incredibly friendly and offered us suggestions for menu items and answered many of our questions. The atmosphere was very homey and warm. We could come back!

This used to be my favorite Korean spot in Kingston. Not anymore. Today it took close to an hour for my order to arrive(56 minutes to be precise). All the people that arrived later than us got served before us. The food was ok but in a less generous serving than usual.The main problem happened during the time to pay. The guy in the register charged us the wrong amount. We paid what they told us and went outside to wait for our Uber. The guy came to look for us saying we did it pay for a part of the bill. I felt so embarrassed. The lady inside kept pressing us to pay quickly and go away while we were inside trying to make sense of the situation. We didn’t do anything wrong. We paid the amount we were told. We were nothing but gracious with the staff even with the very very very long delay.The amount of ways in which this establishment treated us wrongly today is uncanny. I’m in shock.

Went there with two more people. We ordered some fried chicken to start and intended to get more food later. It took them one hour to deliver a single large portion of fried chicken. We gave up on eating anything else and proceeded to pay. We simply asked them to divide the bill by three, but they made such a mess that, after we had paid and were already outside, an employee came running towards us saying we did not pay the whole bill because they had calculated it wrong. We did not hear a single apology and they were rude during the whole process even though all mistakes were on their end. Their rudeness and lack of organization ruined our night. If you don’t want any stress, do not go to Podonamu.

Lovely Korean restraunt with lots of chicken options.I've been wanting to go to Podonamu for a while after hearing good things. I went for dine in and was impressed by how nice the interior was, it was modern and clean.The menu was large, it had a list of fried chicken options (although notably no seafood pancake). We got the soon tofu soup and the scallion chicken.The soup was good, but the chicken was a stand out. It came in a large portion, boneless, and was enjoyed by all!The reason I give it 4 stars is that the service I'd quite slow, the person who came 1 ahead of us ate his meal and left before we got ours, but it could have been a short staffed day.Otherwise fantastic place to go for food!
Ordered through Uber eats. Food was great minus the hard burnt egg on my

If I could give more stars I would, love the food, and the service is always top notch and very friendly to our kids.Kid-friendliness: The owner is honestly the most welcoming human ever to my kids.
