The stall was not ready for my order when they opened at 10am but they still took my order either way. I had to wait a very long time for it as they were still setting up their store. The lady who was the cashier showed a very bad attitude …

Went to compassone branch twice with no staff attended. They all stay in the kitchen for very long period with door closed. All customers need to wait outside for ordering food. Their services is poor, need to be train.

We had lunch at King Dae Bak Korean this week. We ordered pork bulgogi and saba chicken bulgogi. We noted mix of chicken and pork in the pork bulgogi. For the saba and chicken bulgogi, the oil continue to spread out eeverywhere (refer to photo) onto the tray and beyond. We will avoid these dishes.
