Seoul Soul-less

Terrible service received last night at Seoul Soul Korean restaurant, located Libis, Quezon City. Maybe I should have listened to my perceived premonition when I entered the restaurant -- all the waiters and waitresses were at the cashier's counter chatting instead of actually waiting.

I ordered a soup with tofu and seashells as a main dish. It took a while to arrive, but so did the side dishes -- which made it lose the point of being side dishes/starters. I did not receive any water, the hot tea I ordered was not refilled, the small plates were not removed from my table after the side dishes have been eaten -- because, errr all the waiters and waitresses were in the counter chatting. I would expect that behaviour somewhere else but in a Korean restaurant? I received better service at Kaya and Dona Dona Korean Restaurant -- which I thought were a class lower than Seoul Soul. Last night I really wished I could Jumong kick some fake Dae Jang Geum ass.
