All the spots in this complex have a restaurant name on them, and we could not find any with Cherry Food House on them. I noticed everyone just parked anywhere, regardless of which restaurant. This place is busy! I would suggest booking ahead. Service is very friendly but hard to flag down because they are busy. The call button at the table didn't work. The food has big portions, especially the big pots. Normal price could be around $50+, but the budaejjigae is $37 here, and the pan was wide and deep. However, the downside was the taste. It does taste like normal Korean food, and things are a bit off. The budaejjigae feels like it didn't have dashi in it. The seafood green onion pancake was 90% imitation crab. Pajeons are supposed to be mainly green onion, but this felt like a cake of imitation crab only. Maybe a couple of pieces of green onion, cuttlefish, and shrimp. The fried chicken was ok. They serve free dessert at the end - feels like some pudding with sweet syrup. If you don't mind about taste and just want a lot of food for cheap then this is for you.

Hmm this is one of those restaurants that's hard to pinpoint what's really bad about it because…read moreit's neither good nor bad. Then why 2-stars? The taste of every dish is not horribly bad but it fails authenticity. I came with expectations for Korean but was disappointed. *Kalbi: cut of beef is not the good cut as it is thicker and is fatty. This cut is often seen in Chinese grocery store where it's cheaper, fattier and thicker. Also, it not marinated well. *Seafood Pancake: presented nicely - height of dish seems thicker than ordinary. Imitation crab was used to make the swirls on top. I love the crunchiness but then again taste is not quite there. *Deep Fried Mini Crab: interesting dish that's typical of salt and pepper fried dishes in Chinese restaurants. *Pork Bone Hot Pot: I love the straw and shimeji mushrooms added to it. The pork bone is very tender but there's a spice lacking. *Kimchi: tastes sweet without much of the spicy goodness of real kimchi. I like the wide table size that accommodates all the dishes and the side dishes. Servers were attentive.

Second time visiting the Aberdeen location - wasn't very…read morebusy on Wednesday afternoon, so got seated instantly. Place was clean, however rest rooms could use some attention, the floor was sticky and the handles as well. Note, you do not get a tablet at this location, so you will scan a QR code and order a few items through the waiter/waitress like the meats, the rest are available on the cold bars. A pretty decent spread, however the hot food goods were pretty lackluster. The tarts were kind of underbaked - and the pastry was somewhat doughy. Meats and vegetables were fresh and up to standard, and I quite like the fish here! I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this here, but I find the stove quality is not good - even at max P5 , it takes several minutes to get your pot to boil, I've only noticed the lower power at this location. Will likely re-visit one day when in the area -

The restaurant was full for dinner so that is always a good sign! We ordered the xiao long bao, honey mustard prawn balls, shredded tofu with cordyceps flower and lettuce, and fried eel with oil. Each was flavoured packed and hit the spot! My favourites are the shredded tofu with cordyceps flower and lettuce and fried eel with oil. The fried eel dish has tinny slither of eel meat that is braised in a sweet soy sauce. It was soo good with a big bowl of rice - the rice just soaks up the sauce perfectly! And I love that it is deboned! There were so many dishes we wanted to try from the menu that we didn't get to this visit but we hope to be back again!

Since this was our first time dining here, the servers explained some of the items on the menu. They are very kind and very honest. The food however was only okay. My favorite was the noodle dish with the chili chicken. That was probably the best dish. The chicken was tender, slightly spicy, slightly sweet and flavorful. It came with a decent amount of noodles. I tried both the salty and the sweet homemade tofu pudding. The tofu was so silky and soft and smooth. I preferred the savory one, although I skipped out on the chili oil. I feel like next time I will get it with chili oil. The XLB was only okay. Unfortunately, I did not find it very flavorful. The Yangzhou style layer cake was okay. A little plain but it had a nice sweetness and I liked the little bits on top. Would I come back? Sure if an event called for it. Maybe I didn't order the right items but they have a lot on their menu so I would like to go back one day to maybe try some of their more popular items.

The gyu-sushi was kind of a disappointment - it was like a roast beef slice on rice with some seasoning. Unfortunately, the place didn't look well cleaned and maintained. There were some spots on the booth we were shown to. Service was standard.

We intended on getting the à la carte menu at first but realized that based on how many big eaters we had, it was more bang for our buck with the all you can eat menu. We chose the lowest tier of all you can eat and there were some people who preferred seafood; even if you upgraded to the highest tier the selection in our opinion, didn't get drastically better that it was "worth it". We had a party of six and was seated at a long table with a divider. When we got to our seat, the staff had placed the divider at exactly the table edges connecting the two stove but it was so squishy and uncomfortable for 6 people that we had to move the divider over a little. There's a time limit for all you can eat however with one stove and us not knowing that the vegetables came raw and in full foiled packages, it took a long time to grill anything. Our waitress came over many many times to remind us about the time limit and even then... we were well over our time limit even though we only put in two rounds of food. One stove shared between six people was awful. It's not like our stove could cook any faster even if the waitress rushed us. We were even ending the meal with s'mores and the waitress couldn't wait any longer and brought over the bill. We had to put down our s'mores stick to pay the bill so she could leave us alone to finish the meal... the restaurant was not busy, there were plenty of empty tables and there was no one waiting in the lobby. Did not appreciate the service here. Overall, food was greasy and not memorable (as I just tried a different grilled meat spot a few days prior). The portions were weird. Most of the dishes were severely under portioned so we made sure to up our portions for round two. Our time was up before we could even put in our final round three order. The staff also didn't respect some of the items. We put in ice cream on the first order as people wanted to use it as a grease palate cleanser and it was only when we followed up with the waitress did they say "oh we thought it should be served at the end of the meal instead since it's a dessert". Perhaps following the orders of what customers mark off would help with better customer service....

I liked that most of the items were on skewers which made getting it out of the base much easier. I did find the beef overly salted. And I really enjoyed the corn on the cob.
