Kaya Restaurant

I haven't discover many Korean BBQ place around Columbus. If you come across some good Korean BBQ place around the area, please comment below and let me know. Last time when I went to Poong Mei, there was another restaurant located right next to it. After google searched, I learn that it's a Korean restaurant that have BBQ. On top of that, I got have good deal off from Groupon, so it's prefect for a trip to Kaya. 

When I first walk in with my friends, there are no staffs greeting us. All we can see is the staff busy running around and helping take out order from the kitchen or serving the customers. After about ten minutes waiting at the front door, one lady come and ask us how many people to get us situated.

One thing to be cautious is the meal can be very lengthy which due to unresponsive staffs. The restaurant is not full house; however, all of them seems super busy and running around, but we have no idea why they are so busy. When we ask them to refill some lettuce and sauce, they forgot two out of three times. And the staffs also doesn't seems please to serve us. However, when it comes for check, they are super responsive and seems like they want to rush us out. And no, we came at six in the evening, which is not even their closing time at all!


At last, I think the environment and the food is pretty decent. Unfortunately, bad staff plus no customer service will be a downfall for those who enjoys good food and good service. In the end, if you love to have some unique experiences like this, you could definitely give this a try!
