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.

Updated Reviews:

Updated Reviews: I will go back to restaurants that I have already reviewed. At times, I went back to try another item on the menu, and other times, to get the same meal because I loved it so much. Most of the time, a revisit was worth the trip. But, sadly, I've had to report the quality of the food or service has gone downhill since my last visit.

Restaurant Labels:

Moved Restaurants: This means a restaurant has closed down at the listed address in a review, and has moved to another location. If I reviewed the new location, I will post a link on the old location. I will keep this list updated as possible, but, honestly if the restaurants that moved were bad, I'm not going to waste time updating where they moved to.

Closed Restaurants: When a restaurant has the label, Closed, that means the restaurant at the address listed with the review, is now closed. The restaurant may have moved to a new location or changed names.
