Jumak restaurant

Waited 30 minutes just to get a drink from the bar and then watched as my drink was left behind the counter forgotten about until we flagged someone down to get it. We were then ignored and not even asked if we wanted food, so we closed out early. Meanwhile four other groups around us said they didnt get their food for over an hour.

Do not ever eat here. You will be waiting at least 1.5 hours for any food. It took 70 minutes for a bread and butter plate. I can cut bread in less than 2 minutes. Im not even a chef. Im just a random who can bread faster than they can. I bet a sloth works the kitchen. Its the only thing that makes sense. I know you might think that this is hyperbole, but Im writing this review as I sit here slowing gnawing on my own finger, not the one used to type this review. Let the place go to restaurant heaven or maybe restaurant euthanasia.

Indulged in Korean-Japanese cuisine, from Mentaiko Pasta to the crispy Bossam Chicharon board. The Spicy Pork Bao and Salmon Crudo were a perfect balance of savory and fresh. And to complement the fusion of flavors, sipped on refreshing Mount Yoshino, Peach Lemon Drop, and Mix N Matcha cocktails. Everything was flavorful and cocktails were all unique with pretty presentation!

I usually do not leave reviews, but our experience was a special circumstance. We couldnt tell if it was supposed to be a sit down restaurant or a club. It was a very confusing vibe they were going for. There were groups seated and eating meals but a kid with speakers and his Spotify account was set up and blasting early 2010s music way too loud for a dinner spot - it sounded more like a middle school dance. We sat for nearly 30 minutes and asked for waters 3 separate times to 2 different waiters and we never got to put our food orders in while food was being ran to groups who walked in just before us. It also took way too long to even get our waters. We tried to wait because Pasadena is so busy, but this was just ridiculous. The staff was more focused on getting the DJ and his group alcohol. It was very underwhelming and disappointing considering the positive reviews. While our waiters were very kind, the service was absolutely underwhelming and ended up having a very wonderful meal and great service at a Peruvian restaurant a block away.

First off my husband called twice before to ask about making a reservation for valentine day. Whomever he spoke to said that a reservation wasn't required to just come in and it would be fine. When we walked in the hostess asked if we had a reservation we said no that we called and was told we didn't need one she sighed and said it's fine and sat us at an open in a minute. She said someone would be right over and there we sat for thirty minutes as the waiters walked around us. At no point did anyone come over we weren't even offered water and we watched as tables who were seated after us start getting food. We gave it 5 for minute set a timer on our phones and still nothing. We got up and took out menu to the hostess stand who was standing off to the corner watching us. When trying to put the menus back we dropped them and finally the wait staff and hostess acknowledged us. My husband appoglized for us dropping the menus and help to pick them up and I looked at the hostess and said we waited for 30 minutes and no one even offered us water. She oh sorry. The apology didn't even seem sincere. Over all we were excited to eat here and now we never will.
