                        Loved our server (she was also tending bar). The food was amazing! Husband had the short ribs and I had the calamari/pork belly bokgum. Both were fantastic. The calamari app was a little lacking in the flavor dept but still enjoyabl. Their kimchi was yummy too. Will definitely be back!

                        We have been here twice. We have eaten sushi rolls both times. The sushi is terrific! So far we like the Hyde Park roll, the best.

                        Our server was nice. They were clearly short staffed. We were unable to proceed with our meal because of the long wait time it would take to prepare our order (we had a scheduled event planned) of about a full hour after we ordered. They needed to accommodate a larger table and that took priority before my small table of two. We were able to squeeze in our appetizers which were just ok but we were hoping to enjoy our main meals but it wasn’t in the cards.

                        The server made the experience amazing! I’m not really much of a foreign food eater so I went out of my shell to try 3501 Seoul and it did not disappoint. How often I go I have no idea, but if you haven’t tried it I recommend it!

                        They were obviously understaffed last night. Our server did a great job under the circumstances but it was a Saturday night at 7:30 and we waited a long time for drinks and food.

                        Super slow service. They seemed really overwhelmed and behind. However, the food was good and we enjoyed to ambiance.
