I love Korean food....I mean I really love Korean food. I've also got high standards for my ethnic food. Recently, I went to a new Korean restaurant called Seoul Pot in Redmond, WA. I was excited to try this new place that supposedly had the same chef or cook as a great place called Hosoonyi in Lynnwood. We walked into the restaurant, and it was a single room. No dividers.....or segments....just a single room with about 10-15 tables. There's no way you will get any privacy...so forget about bringing a date. I think it's a good place to meet with your friends for lunch...open ambiance with open tables. The biggest disappointment was the food. The food was poor. I give it a rating of 3 out of 10. Hopefully, you'll have a better experience than I did.

I thought for sure you were writing a blog about a new restaurant you found and loved. Goes to show you have to read the whole story to know the plot.
I have to admit I haven't had a lot of Korean food in my day. My Asian cuisine is usually Japanese, Thai and Chinese.
This one sounds like a good place to steer clear of. I'll have to wait till you make notice of a Korean restaurant you loved before my taste buds & I jump in.

One thing to be noted from this blog is the fact that everyone is under the microscope. No business, whether big or small, is immune. I used to hear it said if you have a good experience you tell 2-3 people, but a bad experience will get you talking to 7-10.
Here you are giving the low down to thousands of people. I think the phrase in this case should be changed from buyer beware to restaurant beware.
Restaurants and retailers need to realize that good and bad news spreads a lot faster than it ever did before. If you are serving one person or the general public, you and your staff better bring the A-game because you will be talked, posted and blogged about. I like the accountability we hold our retailers by using the internet as our voice.
