潮肉壽喜燒 延吉店

First time dining at the Yanji store
⚠️ The dining experience was not great, mainly due to the service. If you care about service, you might want to pass.
We brought a baby and mentioned beforehand that we would need a crib, but we would hold the baby ourselves.
Originally reserved for 5 adults and 1 child, but a friend couldn't attend due to taking their child to the doctor, so we changed it to 4 adults and 1 child. The restaurant provided us with a table for four, but since we have a baby who might want to sleep, we needed a place for the baby to lie down. The staff repeatedly informed us that we could put things on the side, but since we only had four adults, they couldn't give us a bigger table.

🔹 Weekday dinner 599 + 10% service charge

• After being seated, the person who brought us to the table left without taking our order or notifying us about ordering meat or other items. Later, a staff member came to take our order, and only when they were about to bring out the first batch of meat did the original person return to ask if we had ordered.

• We mainly ordered beef and pork. At first, there were two types of table-side service: Thai sour and spicy, and cheese flavor, but the staff came and directly asked what we wanted and just started cooking at the table. We thought we hadn't ordered, but only found out from the staff that the table-side service was included!

• The self-service bar had curry rice, miso soup, a refrigerator with side dishes and lettuce wraps, ice cream, a vegetable platter, sauces, and eggs.

• The vegetables felt fresh, not the wilted kind that has been sitting for a long time!

• An advantage was that they offered unlimited raw-grade eggs for self-service.

• The ice cream scoop did not have running water and looked dirty.

• The kelp tea rice was made with broth + rice + kelp + bonito flakes; it was a bit salty.

• The rest was just standard sukiyaki, with sauces and water on the side for seasoning according to your taste.

• The dessert included roasted peanut mochi and roasted mochi wrapped around ice cream.
  The service staff did a great job! The desserts were well-reviewed! They were roasted perfectly without being too burnt!

🔺 They did not inform us of the last ordering time and suddenly came over to say they would scoop the ingredients out for us and roast the desserts, not caring if the items in our pot were cooked or not; they just scooped everything out.😀

🔅 Dining time was 120 minutes. I read reviews that said there were lockers at the entrance for storing items, but the staff did not mention anything and just took us to our seats! From reviews, other staff have provided good service, but that day, the staff really made me not want to visit again.
