I'm not a big fan of Korean food. The food is ok but the prices are very high and I don't think they food is the worth price. I couldn't decide where to go for lunch and I picked Double O, a Korean restaurant.
I got the marinated Korean BBQ, $14.99. This is bulgugi or marinated beef. But instead of me cooking the beef at my table, they cook it for me. The first thing I noticed is that the beef is not hot. It's warm but not hot and after waiting a long time after ordering I figure the beef would come out pippin hot. The beef was pretty tough and not tender, even if it was sliced very thinly. Koreans use a sweet marinate with soy sauce, seasame oil, and honey. The marinate isn't overwhelming but it doesn't stand out either.
Service is poor. The lady who I think is the owner didn't even walk me to the table. She said just pointed to a table in the back. I realize she was busy serving everybody but come on. Then she didn't bring water after I asked for water. She never came back to ask how the food was. I had to ring the bell on the wall to ask for service. Which she never mentioned. I just happened to turn and get some chop sticks and saw the Ring for Service Bell.
I would not go back to Double O again. What a rip off. $14.99 for a pile of second rate beef? It was a decent sized portion but I could get two beef dishes at a Chinese restaurant for that price. I should just save my money and time and not go to any Korean restaurants.

Next time, you should try some of the Korean restaurants in K-town! They are cheaper and mush better in quality. Try Shin Jung on 6th & Kenmore or Soot Bul Jeep on 8th St.
Love your blog!
I couldn't agree with Julie more. I can vouch for Soot Bul Jeep (assuming it's the one I'm thinking of; 80% sure). And get galbi instead of bulgogi. That's the real Korean BBQ. But it is the type of thing that you cook at the table and you can expect to come out of the place reeking of smoke, but good galbi is well worth it.
