text: I do not know what happened years ago I used to come to Ginseng all the time There used to be a very charismatic Korean kid working here who would provide excellent customer service and run the whole restaurant by himself Also the food was always good The Korean BBQ beef was always flavored to perfection and the ChineseKorean noodle dishes were better than what you get in Korea Town The free appetizers were always of the highest quality because they would make all the variations of kimchee by scratch and not order it premade nnYesterday I came here with my best friend He flew in from Norway and wanted some Korean food He had been craving it for years since the only Korean restaurant in North Norway recently went out of business The moment we stepped in everything was different The server was a new guy who was extremely hands off and barely came around The free appetizers were no longer of high quality and was that generic kimchee you get prepackaged at those Korean markets The BBQ beef which had gone up in price to was now almost flavorless and tasted like they marinated it for only minutes and cooked it in a toaster oven At most all Korean restaurants they give you enough beef for people This place charges and gives you only enough food to feed one person For only like you can get AYCE Korean Beef at some places and it tastes times better than this nnThe Sushi I ordered tasted like they made it in the morning and refrigerated it As we all already know Sushi is my favorite food in the world I did not expect great sushi from this place but I did expect mediocre sushi It was not even mediocre To tell you the truth I have never had bad sushi from a Korean style sushi restaurant Korean sushi chefs are very creative and innovative and try to invent new styles and sauces for traditional sushi which always turns out really really good So whenever I want great Sushi I go offstrip miles to Sushi Bomb where many of the chefs are Korean My sushi at Ginseng was the first time I was disappointed while eating Sushi at a Korean style restaurant nnEven though the service was so bad my friend still left a giant tip I do not know why Europeans always leave such big tips even though service sucksnnThis was a first for me It was the first time I ever had Sushi I could not finish and it was the first time I ever got bad service from a Korean restaurant Usually Korean restaurants have excellent service Not this place Oddly the restaurant is now busier than it has ever been Back a couple of years ago when the service and food were actually good they never had this many customers Very strangennIm still give it stars because my friend liked this place I guess most nEuropeans cannot tell the difference between bad and good Korean food
