Gopchang Story had really quick service, and the portions were very generous. The food was okay overall and not especially memorable, but it was still filling and satisfying. I also liked that they stay open late, which makes it a convenient option when you are looking for food later at night. read more

Went here on a weekday night, and it wasn't very busy. We were able to walk straight in and get seated for 3 people. We ordered the assorted intestines. That with the banchan was enough food. And the beer tastes really well with this kind of fried food. The waiter was really helpful. They cook the food for you. Would definitely go back. read more

Gopchang Story - Assorted gui (intestines) - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The place looks nice and is quite big. 3 private rooms for big group settings. They play all Korean music. In terms of flavor, the one in NY is much better. I don't know why, the one here doesn't taste as fresh and they don't give as much. Even the rice cakes taste frozen and dry. They cook the whole thing for you. The kimchi cold noodles is refreshing but $16 for a small bowl of kimchi and wheat noodles is a little steep.... The sides are so-so and the dipping sauce doesn't taste like much. read more

Gopchang Story - Assorted gui - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Major improvement compared to the first time I came. They tend to undercook the gopchang so if you leave it on the grill a couple minutes longer, it's perfect. I really enjoy their cold noodles too. They're the perfect side dish to cut the fattiness of the gopchang. Seafood pancake was delicious too! It was loaded with seafood & was very crispy. The prices are expensive, but the portions are huge. The only improvements would be better cookery of the gopchang and a little more attentiveness from the staff. Otherwise it was a great experience. read more

Having first tried Gopchang Story in Warwick- we decided to venture out and try it in Boston next. What a wildly different experience! This was less of a Korean BBQ experience with meat being grilled over open flames, and more of a hot pot focus. Furthermore, Warwick has more meat options beyond the intestines menu, which may be more approachable to an American palate. That being said, it still was delicious and I would recommend their pork belly platter to anyone. The tteokbokki on the side of the beef heart was incredible and I wish that was something you could just order solo. Overall though, I prefer the Warwick location from the set up, food options and the grilling at the table. However, I wouldn't hesitate to go back here. read more

I would come here again because of chak!!! Best service and the best food. If yall come, have to have him as a server!

Have you tried spicy marinated raw crab? It has a flavorful slightly sweet and spicy flavor that tasted amazing over rice (especially because it was pretty salty)! I love crab and this was a new delicious way for me to enjoy it! I also recommend their beef brisket noodle soup that served rice noodles and beef slices in super flavorful sweet soy broth Their bomb steamed egg was also indeed bomb and their grilled kimchi pork belly was tasty (only downside was that our grill stopped working midway through our meal ). With friendly staff and lots of seating, I recommend going to Gopchang Story in groups of 3-4 max to expedite any wait times during dinner rush hours! read more

Gopchang Story - Assorted gui and variety of banchan sides - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

If I could give zero stars, I would--but I'll give them one because the pork belly was okay I went to Gopchang Story Boston last night, and the service was awful. The waiter dropped off poorly cooked large intestines **super chewy and hard to eat on the edge of our table instead of in the middle, said "enjoy," and walked off. He didn't set up the grill or check in with us, and the restaurant wasn't even busy! At the end, another waiter came over, handed us the toast, and stared us down while we were signing! Like he was pressuring us. The check had a 20% tip already checked off, with no breakdown or itemized bill I've been here before and it was never this bad. Definitely not coming back! read more

Gopchang Story - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Originally from NYC, Gopchang Story Boston is the ultimate spot for Korean grilled intestines. The gopchang is fresh, chewy, and full of flavor, especially when paired with their spicy dipping sauce. The staff grills everything to perfection. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Korean BBQ with bold flavors! read more

We were very impressed with our first dining experience at Gopchang Story. The service was wonderful; everyone was very nice and helpful with navigating the menu and portion sizes. We got there close to when they opened so it wasn't busy yet. Fun and casual ambiance. This is the second time I tried gopchang and I definitely enjoyed it more here. We ordered the mixed intestines and the kimchi pork belly, with some fried rice at the end. Our favorite was the rice which soaked up all the flavors of the kimchi and pork belly on the grill. We would definitely go back to try some other dishes. And for those who may not know this, the chairs have storage. Lift up the seat and you can stow your belongings so they are out of the way and they don't get too smoky from the grills. read more

Pricey but food was decent if you're adventurous. Kind of loud inside so good for a party type of group. The pancake was good but pricey and very small so wouldn't get again. Also got the bibimbap tartare which wasn't very good (forgot to take photo). The intestines were their best dish but it's also fatty so good to share with others (also forgot to take photo). read more

I had grilled gopchang in Korea and it was amazing! I'm happy there's Gopchang story here in Boston. I loved the vibe with the tv screens around the restaurant playing kpop music videos. The seats can also be opened to store your belongings to keep them clean and hopefully less smelly. My husband and I had the assorted intestines, fried rice and a green apple highball. I thought the food and drink was good. The service was amazing, the worker grills everything for you and they make the fried rice for you too. Definitely come here with friends for a fun and unique dining experience. read more

Walking in we were greeted by nobody, we sat by the front seating for at least 20 minutes where we were then allowed to sit down. Food was good, but service takes way too long. We arrived since 7pm and I am currently writing this at 9:16pm and still haven't received the dessert I put an order in for twice. Also had to cancel some a couple items because it was just getting so late. It may be Valentine's Day but it's not even that busy, won't be coming back here for a long time read more

Gopchang Story - MARINATED MALA LARGE INTESTINE GUI - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We came here when they opened, not busy but service is really slow and feel being ignore. My favorite is the seafood pancake, they doesn't have much flour, more like tempura. We ordered the 1 serving of assorted gui and 1 serving of marinated gui, still big portion that we still left over. The yookhwe bibimbap portion was small and too much sesame oil, they did not have the pepper paste to go with it. The steamed egg, lack of seasoning. I rather ordering take than dining in person. read more

Intestines for dinner? I guess this place is known for offal. Try something new, but settled for Korean beef Tartar, and bulgogi hot pot. I also had the seafood pancake. I really like the beef tartare and seafood pancake. The bulgogi Had a great presentation. I felt the beef was a bit bland itself, even though the broth was incredibly delicious with the mushrooms and vegetables. Place was open super late and we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated but we were really seated in 10 minutes. Service was ok. I don't know if this would be a place I would come over and over again, but it seem to be popular with the students and residents of the area. read more

We ordered the mala big intestines medium spice and was not disappointed. It was quite delicious and flavorful. Plentiful for a table of 4. Love the interior design - little small stools around the bbq table that opens for storage. I have this place 3 stars because: 1. Side dishes could definitely use some beefing up. There were like 4 pieces of kimchi - however you can ask for more. 2. Service could definitely improve. Will definitely come back though for some intestines again! read more

We finally tried this place! We went on a friday night just past 5pm and the place was pretty empty. We were promptly seated and pretty much left alone to figure out what to do. There were no menus handed out but the wife noticed a QR code at the table so we scanned it to see the offerings. It would've been nice had the hostest or waiters asked if it was our first time and explained things. They didn't tell us the seats open to store our belongings either, I figured that out later. The seats are not that comfortable, IMHO. We didn't know if we were supposed to figure out a way to order from the QR code menu or what, but eventually a waitress walked by and was like "oh, are you ready to order?". Makes me wonder if I had done something wrong?? The waitress did grill one of our gui orders at the table. No one ever checked up on us after the food was done. Service is only a 3 stars out of 5. We were really excited to try this type of food. For any parties of 2+, you're mandated to order at least 2 servings of the gui for some reason. Whatever, I was fine with that as I was excited to eat this type of stuff. They have one grill at each table and because we had to order 2, one had to be prepared in the kitchen while the other is prepared tableside. This creates a problem where one comes out already done and the other is still cooking. Any other dishes are also already out on the table. We waited till the waitress finished cooking the one serving of gui at the table before really digging in. Gui: The marinated gui had good flavor. Suprisingly the regular assorted gui tasted even better. They put some powerdery type of seasoning on it prior to cooking. Because this one was cooked at the table, it was hot and remained hot throughout the meal. These were both good but I was disappointed that the shell or outer ring of the gui tasted kind of rubbery or plasticky. It was just hard to chew. 3/5 stars. Side Dishes: The side dishes served to us were obviously not freshly picked and plated for us...it was pre-plated and sitting around. It was just ok. 2/5 stars. Spicy marinated crab: You get 2.5 whole crabs marinated in very spicy seasoning/paste. The meat was soft and tasted kind of sweet. We wished they offered other options, like just marinated crab (without the spicy), as the spiciness level was pretty high. We had to order some rice to really enjoy this one. They give you thin gloves to eat this with your hands. 4/5 stars. Intestine tteokbokki: This is basically some rice noodles with fish cakes and intestines. Some of the rice noodles were still stuck together...i noticed this several times as I went in. The fish cakes were a lot better than the ones served as side dishes. The intestines were the same as the ones in the assorted gui. The sauce is very good and I found myself dunking the grilled gui pieces in this a lot. I'd give this dish a 3.5/5 stars. The decor inside is very modern and nice. There are TV's on the walls showing artists singing korean songs. The tables had induction style grill tops so wirings was minimal. The seats were uncomfortable but they do swing open to store your stuff so they don't absorb the bbq smell. Value wise, I think is okay. These are specialty types of foods here and I understand the prices will add up. I'm not sure why they force 2 servings of gui for 2+ parties though, but whatever. Upon checkout, they bring a device over and have you pay at the table. The default tip amount on the machine was 20% upon check out but you could make it awkward and try to choose something else while the waitress is staring you down. Overall, it was a unique experience, one that I'd been looking forward to since they opened. I'm just not sure if I'd come back...maybe I will, just to see if the hard to chew gui was a common occurrence or just a bad night. I think an overall score of 3.5/5 is accurate, as Yelp has it. Unfortunately I can only choose 3 or 4. I erred on 4 for now. read more

So freaking good, a meal unlike any other in Boston. We ordered a bit too much for a table for 4 but everything was pretty yummy! I really loved the regular assorted gui since you could really get a taste for all the different cuts of intestines they include with their special seasoning they add. And the way they cook it on the grill makes it all fatty and smelling really good you can't resist. They also grill these pieces of rice cakes on the grill where the intestines are and something about the flavoring they dust on there is so addicting! The portion for 2 servings was pretty good too. We wish we didn't order the marinated assorted gui since it was a bit too much gui to have all in one sitting but this was pretty good too. Just a bit salty for my liking. The seafood pancake was the BEST I've ever had. So crispy and loaded up on the seafood. I'm not sure how they made it so crispy but it was super crispy and fluffy at the same time! The atmosphere reminds you of a Korean bbq spot since they have the chairs where you can lift them open to put your jacket inside and they play kpop on the speakers. Definitely looking to come back soon since they have been adding new items to their menu! What we ordered: - Assorted Gui - Marinated Assorted Gui (w/rice, egg, and roe add-on at the end) - Seafood Pancake read more

Love the seats that open to put your purse or jacket inside just like Korea! We had the marinated and unmarinated small and large intestines, the smaller ones are better in my opinion. It's quite oily and your jaw hurts from all the chewing after. Get the fried rice with seaweed to cook after you eat the intestines. The cold noodles was very light but flavorful, delicious! Unfortunately we did not enjoy the raw crabs here. The tofu soup was the perfect amount of spice. Good place to drink with friends and eat some drinking food. They were playing American hip hop music while we there. read more

I got to know Gopchang story in Boston, I must try because it's my favorite restaurant in Korea so I gave a shot. I really was happy to Gopchang story is in Boston. My friend wanted eat Korean food while we traveled at Boston and we disappointed other Korean restaurant. You must try this place!! We called this place before we go for make sure there's waiting. We just waited 10mins for got a table. They served really quick and help you perfectly cooked gopchang. We ordered Daechang instead of Gopchang. Highly recommended Daechang if you can't eat Gopchang like me. Daechang (5/5)Chewy and delicious gravy. Steamed egg(4/5)was delicious too. Fried rice(4/5). Amazing staffs. They are accommodating. Served food very quickly and they make sure everything ok while you eat. Interior was very casual and clean place but very loud. I was so happy to back to hotel after eat dinner here. Definitely I will go back this place if I travel to Boston again. read more

The seafood pancake was a bit too crispy for my liking. It doesn't have as much batter as the other seafood pancakes that I've had. The egg fried rice was pretty standard. We had to order a minimum of 2 servings of the assorted gui, and the portion was large for 3 people. My friends and I came here on a Tuesday night and there was no wait for a party of three. The restaurant is decently sized with plenty of seating. There are some booth seatings. read more

Man if you like intestines (large, small and entrails ) this is the spot. The spicy marinated version had good flavor. Note you do have to order at least 2 portions of intestines, one i believe they prep on kitchen for you the other you grill yourself but i could be wrong i was a bit confused as to what was going on haha. The raw spicy crab was good imo, squeeze and go to town. Unless you can put down a lot of food for 2 ppl, i recommend bringing couple extra friends and grab some soju and eat. We were overwhelmed with just two of us. Heating up next day it was too oily and chewy to enjoy so ended up tossing the leftovers. read more

I love it here. Large spacious location with lots of seating. Street parking is required to get here and can be a hassle to find sometimes. Great ambiance with dimmed lighting, chill kpop music, and the perfect temperature. Ventilation is good here since they can also open up the windows, so I've never had to worry about going home smelling like Gopchang haha. From my 3 experiences, service is kind of slow and not as attentive as I would expect for good service. But the staff is so nice and help cook for you! Food takes awhile to be served, but the wait is worth it. Food here is so tasty! Portions are huge, like I think the two person serving can even feed 3-4! Our favorite to order are the large intestines! Also comes out perfectly chewy and grilled. The Mala is super flavorful with a kick of heat! So good with the added kimchi fried rice and eggs. The star of the show here is the Seafood pancake, which is so far the best I've had as it's chewy, but also crispy at the same time and stuffed with seafood and veggies! I still drool thinking about the seafood pancake. Only downside I have about the food is that it's super oily (from the intestines) and I always leave with a stomachache! So this isn't really by preferred location to eat out! Thus, I wouldn't come too often, but I definitely recommend Gopchang at least once if you like intestines! read more

Very spacious and a great place to catch up with friends. Usually there's a bit of wait, but I've gotten lucky a few times. If you call ahead, you can ask if there's a wait. Your waiter/waitress also cooks the food at the table which is a huge plus. I get the egg fried rice, the seafood pancake, and the assorted gui every time. Egg fried rice: Taste wise, its a simple egg fried rice, no complaints. Personally, I think it's fun to mix the egg in with the rice at the table, and I like that it being on cast iron gives some of the rice a different texture. Seafood Pancake: This is my favourite seafood pancake. There is plenty of shrimp, green onions, and octopus. It's very crispy and doesn't have much batter. If you like the batter and prefer more batter this might not be for you. Assorted Gui: Beef large intestine, small intestine, entrails, rice cakes, and heart. They sprinkle a seasoning on top before cooking the meat and it's really good. I recommend drinking something acidic (Milkis or an acidic soda) with this meal as it's very greasy/fatty. If you're thinking about trying it, you should definitely go. read more

It worths the hype to come to this restaurant. They are know for the intestine, and I like the original small intestine the most. I tried the hot pot as well and not too impressed! The drink menu is pretty limited. There are not too many options. The staff are very friendly and nice. The restaurant is also nice. Their chairs have bucket that you can put your jacket inside, which is neat. read more

We got the combination and I would suggest doing so unless you know what parts you like! It tastes like home and was pretty solid. I would recommend getting the marinated crabs and kimchi noodle to share so you won't feel too greasy eating the intestines.

Second time trying this place. Again had one of the worst server experiences. The host and another server were super nice and helpful but when I asked if my kid could have some soy sauce he responded, "we don't have that here." Really? A Korean restaurant doesn't have soy sauce? Umm okay. The best food items were the steamed egg and fish cake side dish. Do not even think about the intestine tteokbokki. Just terrible. The kalbi was extremely fatty to the point I left entire pieces on the plate. I wanted to like this place but some staff need an attitude adjustment and way better food to make it worth the price and the parking headache. Hard Pass. Again. read more

Service - 9/10 I came in around peak dinner time on the weekend and was told it would be a 30-45 minute wait. I was craving gopchang so I said, sure why not I'll wait it out. To my surprise, at least 3 tables all got up around the same time and we were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. The service was good and they took the order quite quickly. They cook the intestines for you, and the person asked us how we wanted it cooked (we wanted it well done) and did a great job serving it. Food - 9/10 We ordered 1 portion of the small intestines, the Pork Belly Kimchi Stew, and the Seafood Pancakes. Seafood Pancakes: They weren't that cut up, so I thought I'd have a hard time tearing them apart, but they were easy to separate and distribute amongst our table. They were decently sized, and quite light and not oily. Pork Belly Kimchi Stew: Unlike other kimchi stews, this one leaned more on the sour side of kimchi. I could taste the sourness of the kimchi in the stew from the small portion I had. It was still pretty good, but I didn't expect it to be that sour. Small Intestines: What I ordered and was craving. We had 1 portion, but it was just enough to fill me and the table up. It was buttery and had good flavor, and the crispiness was perfect. Not that oily and tasted great. Ambiance - 8/10 May just be me but the tables are a bit low to the ground, so if you have problems with your knees it may be uncomfortable at first. The place is also very dim, but still bright enough to see people. read more

The place to go to satisfy a craving for intestines. Note, finding parking can sometimes be challenging. The good - My fave is the fried rice cooked in the pan with all the gui drippings. - The seafood pancake is really good, not like other Korean restaurants.

If you haven't tried gopchang in KBBQ, this is the place to try it. Gopchang is a Korean dish that literally translates to grilled beef intestines. I was skeptical at first, but after I tried it here, I was blown away by how good it was and I wished we had gotten more! We got two servings of Marinated Assorted Gui ($58.90) and added on Fried Rice ($8) and Rice Cake ($6). The gopchang was cooked in front of us in a stone grill and soaked up all the spicy broth. Each bite had an incredible bouncy texture and was bursting with buttery and beefy flavor! After finishing most of the gopchang, a server came to cook the fried rice in the sauce. The fried rice was good, but I felt that it wasn't anything special. I would probably skip this add on next time and just get something else. Overall, I loved the gopchang here and I would come back for more! They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait at least an hour on weekends. read more

This place is right around BU and is fairly new. They dont take reservations and are walk in only. I came in a Sunday night around 6pm and with a party of 4 we waited roughly 20 minutes. We got the assorted meat and chicken dishes and also did the fried rice add-on. I'm not the biggest fan of intestine, but I'd say the quality of the meat here js pretty good because I usually can't eat it lol. The large intestine has texture similar to pork belly and the small intestines feels like salmon roe and is chewy. Overall, the food was fairly good and service was very friendly. It was a little on the pricier side though. read more

This is a great place to go to if you love intestines! The spicy raw crab was delicious and had lots of meat inside to devour. My personal favorite from this visit was the small intestines! We got the small intestines without marinade, however, next time will definitely get it marinated though it was still delicious plain. The large intestines were yummy, as well. Overall, I would come back again... just be aware that you have to order 2 orders of intestines minimum and it is a lot to eat. I recommend coming with a couple people since these are large portions. The vibe inside was nice and chill, it is a plus that they are opened pretty late. read more

Gopchang Story has so much potential to be an amazing restaurant since it is a popular Korean chain and serves great food and is relatively new. The one frustrating part about this place is the service. Since it says they close at 12 I called around 9:30 PM to ask when the kitchen closes to make sure I am not coming right before they close. They said last call is at 11:05 so I came as early as I could which was a little bit before 10:30 and the female employee at the front said their kitchen was closing in two minutes. I said I had just called and they said 11:05 and the way she reacted was my first sign that she was not telling the truth. The next thing that I noticed was that we sat down and immediately decided what we wanted. It was several minutes after 10:30 when she said the "kitchen closed" and no one came to get our order. On top of that another employee came around 11 PM to do last call for food and other people were ordering after us, which leads me to assume the female employee was lying. I understand if restaurants close early but to have one employee lie about the kitchen closing so she can go home leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The food here was really good but we felt rushed and the only employee that was friendly was the male employee who told me the correct kitchen closing time over the phone. The other female employees clearly did not want to be working. The pork belly with kimchi was great but I wish the pork was cooked slightly more crispy. The banchan was good but we felt too uncomfortable to ask for more. Egg fried rice was okay but the bulgogi hotpot was really good. The broth was so savory with so much meat and glass noodles. The food here I would give a solid 4.3/5 but the service was honestly so bad that I don't think it's worth it to eat here unless you don't care. I hate to knock down many points for bad service and I try not to unless it's bad, but this took it from what could've been a 5 star on yelp to a 3. read more

Gopchang Story - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here on a Wednesday evening at around 5:30 and we were seated quite quickly despite not having our entire party there. We were informed that Wednesdays are pretty solid days to come as it isn't as busy - by the time we left, there was a line for a table pretty much out the door so if that isn't as busy as it can be, I don't want to see what it's like on the weekend! The decor and ambiance seems super modern inside the space. The chairs have storage within the seat which was pretty convenient and the the overall vibe was pleasant. The service was fast to take our orders and to serve us our food as well. We weren't left waiting for too long and overall, the staff was super friendly and receptive to our requests. For four people, we were told to share two doubles or a double and a single. Portion wise, it was a decent amount of food. I wasn't super full by the end, but I was satisfied. We also had a beef tatare to share and the rice at the end ( definitely always get this! ) which helped round out the meal. The food itself was pretty high in quality for the intestines and entrails. Things were cooked and cleaned well I think, but my one complaint would be the lack of drainage in the casket. Towards the end of the meal, it definitely felt a little gross and greasy to eat the last of the meat. The tartare we got was interestingly sweet ( made for an okay taste ) but the meat was frozen. The contrast of taking a bite of the tartare and then some intestine physically hurt my teeth - I'd definitely recommend eating one at a time. I was pretty disappointed in the overall variety of the menu as well as some of the side dishes. Other Gopchangs have things like naengmyeon ( cold noodles ), different types of bbq meat other than intestines, and various other things to help diversify the meal. Naengmyeon would have definitely helped after the meal due to how greasy all of us felt so it was sad to see it wasn't an option. Overall, I found this experience at Gopchang to leave something to be desired. I've been waiting since last July for this restaurant to open due to the positive experiences I've had at other locations and this one unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. The portions also felt a little smaller than other locations which left a pretty bit dent to the wallet for not as great of an experience. Hopefully they expand their menu by the time I come back next! read more

After hearing the rave about this place, I had to go and try it myself. First initial instinct is super cute and chic place. After being seated, we looked at the menu. Not much on the menu but our server helped us order. We ordered a single assorted, and double marinated assorted for three ish people (we had a party of 5 but they only wanted to try the intestines). We also ordered three servings of fried rice add on after. We got the single assorted gui first, then the double serving of the marinate, and then the fried rice with the marinate. I preferred the regular over the marinate as the marinate was kind of too salty for me, and they added too much of the marinate. Nonetheless it was still good. The beef tartare was also good but it was served kinda half frozen half thawed so it was really cold and kind of crunchy when eating it, which idk if that is how it was supposed to be. I definitely will come here again to try more items, however, a few key take away is that this place definitely is expensive for the portion. I truly believe the portions are under portioned, but the service was great as they cooked it for you! read more

I've never been to an intestine-specialty place before! Was super excited to go to Gopchang with the hype surrounding it. Marinated large intestine (10/10): got the portion for 3 to split with 2 friends. They do not skimp, we had a third for leftovers. It was very well marinated, and it coming out on the grill for it to continually cook with the onions, cabbage, scallions, and rice cakes was the best part, because as the night continues, these veggies get soft, smokey, and saucy with the fatty marinated intestines. Note that this was very heavy on the stomach, so it's a bit hard to eat one type. I do not regret my order though. Raw spicy marinated crab (7/10): overall, it was decent. I feel like it's very similar, maybe slightly sweeter, than the raw marinated crab that can be bought at H-Mart. They bring you gloves so you can eat cleanly in the restaurant, which I appreciate. The crab is meaty, tender, and soft. I do think it's a bit pricier when comparing it to market prices. Overall, Gopchang was good. There's a bit of a wait if you're going on the kickoff of the weekend, especially during prime dinner hours since they're located between BC and BU. It is a cute little KBBQ place with neat chairs that open to store your belongings so they don't get that KBBQ smokey smell. They have sectioned off rooms to hold parties of 5+ which is great if you wanted to go with lots of friends. They play a lot of K-pop on the TV from different generations which was nostalgic! I got there around 6 and waited about 30 minutes to get sat. The waitstaff was really kind. I did place my order about 5 minutes after we were sat, and I was a bit disappointed when it took 45 minutes for our intestines to be served. I had only said something about my order after I saw a table sat after my have their food come out first. Waiting while it is slammed is understandable, so I'm not complaining on the wait. I am disappointed in that it took took 3 different servers asking me "what was your order?" until I got my food, which leads me to believe my order wasn't really put in the system in the first place. I know it was very busy, so don't let this deter you from coming. I hope there is a bit more attention across the tables the next time I come! read more
