Best seat
Ask for a table closest to the entrance for the smoothest tablet access, or any spot the staff assigns.
Best time
11:00–15:30 for lunch, or after 17:00 for evening service; it runs late until 22:00. Check for the 15:30–17:00 break.
Ordering friction
Tablet ordering in Korean—simple once you’re seated, but go ready to point/tap confidently.
