Service

Pros:

  • "They're generally very fast at the register line and even created two separate lines."
  • "Surprisingly very good service! I dropped a box of sushi kind of shrimp and without hesitation they told me not to worry about it!!"
  • "Very friendly service and delicious food that lives up to the name Woorijip -- 'Our Home.'"
  • "The staff are very kind too, I once accidentally got seafood stew instead of the tofu kimchi by accident and didn't notice until after I paid and sat down and read the label again, and I went back to the counter and the lady was able to swap it out for me."
  • "People are really nice and helpful."
  • "The staff are very friendly."

Cons:

  • "Cashier's name is Kevin. He is unkind."
  • "Management is so shady and customer service is terrible."
  • "Rude. Service needs to be improved."
  • "Honestly wanted to love this place until we witnessed some discrimination against black people."
  • "Also, totally racist. They kicked a black patron out just a few minutes after he got his food for 'not buying anything' despite him having a receipt and containers."
  • "Some of the staff are not as nice as most and was why I left a star off."
  • "The cashier forgot to put my beef kimbap in the bag with the rest of my food."

Value

Pros:

  • "Such a nice selection of different main dishes and side dishes, portions were good and so affordable."
  • "Consistently good, a lot of choices (they also have alcohol), and fairly priced grab-n-go."
  • "I truly appreciate the 8% discount offered to diners who pay with Cash."
  • "The price ranges from $5-15 depending on the dish; def a decent price in this busy location."
  • "Great value of food! I brought a bowl of beef glass noodles home, and finished it with three meals!"
  • "Very reasonably priced. For around $17 my wife and I ate plentiful."
  • "The prices are unbeatable here, compared to the other pricey food options in ktown."

Cons:

  • "It is definitely on the pricey side ($6 for a side of kimchee, wow!)."
  • "What I don’t like is how they up charge you 5% if you use a credit card, and a minimum of $10 must be spent to use a card anyway."
  • "But my biggest problem with the place was that I bought a $7.5 dish, yet I was charged with $10 and I don't know why..."
  • "Cool idea. Love cafeteria style restaurants. But this one was overpriced."
  • "Although the 8% cash discount may be tempting, please be aware they charge the taxes over pre-discount price."
  • "The pricing is teetering over the edge, in light of the portion sizes."
  • "Some things are a bit overpriced, but most things are priced relatively well."

Ambiance & Convenience

Pros:

  • "It's a great spot to grab something fast late night, for lunch or dinner."
  • "They serve all freshly prepared to go food like a bento style."
  • "There are high tables and seats for you to dine in after purchase."
  • "The most important thing is the microwave; they have 2 of them to warm up your food."
  • "Super convenient, tasty, varied, and fresh Korean food."
  • "This is like going to a Seven Eleven in Asia where the bento boxes of delicious meals can be picked up and devoured on the go or seat and enjoy!"
  • "A great place to grab tasty Korean food when you're on the go."

Cons:

  • "It gets very crowded though and sometimes choices run out."
  • "The tables for seating may very likely be taken when you go because this place is pretty popular."
  • "Only thing they can improve on is the seating. It's crowded almost all the time and hard to find seating as there’s only a handful of tables."
  • "Wanted a simple late night snack but unfortunately their hot bar closes at 9:30 P.M."
  • "Seating is cramped, and the lines can get long enough to wrap around tables where people are trying to enjoy their food."
  • "The only downside is the seating area can be a bit crowded during rushed hours."
  • "Not a good place to linger and eat your meal though as it tends to be crowded and people are always looking for a table."
