Negative Points:

Someone said the beef was good, but I've had better at other places in Seoul.
The market can be a bit chaotic and noisy, not ideal for a quiet dinner.
Service can be slow during peak hours, and the staff seemed overwhelmed.
The cuts of beef can vary in quality; some were not as tender as expected.
It's quite expensive, especially if you want to try different cuts. Not the best value for money.
Someone said some cuts were a bit too fatty for my taste.
Not the cleanest place. The market setting might not be for everyone.
Had trouble communicating with the staff. Limited English spoken.
The variety of beef cuts can be confusing. Some were not as good as others.
Expensive compared to other local restaurants. Not ideal if you're on a budget.
Not much food, and the taste isn't very good.)
Rude owner that just quickly rushed us to sit and eat.
The cuts are okay but no explanation or signage on what grade is the meat or if it was wet-aged.
It's more expensive to eat here than to eat inside the marketplace.
Korean beef is ridiculously expensive, but our family had a meal. The meat tasted good, but the service and atmosphere were mediocre.
