Part 2. Example
Although I did enjoy the food here, I was completely unimpressed (and slightly annoyed) by the overpriced margaritas. I ordered a platinum which contained "fresh" juice. It tasted like it had sprite in it, so I thought surely she gave me the wrong one. It turns out that "fresh juice" is really margarita mix on tap from the same gun as the sprite. I asked for something fresh to replace the horrible margarita and received a rocks glass with just muddled lime and a salted rim. I'm not sure it contained any tequila. Horrible! It's not that hard to make a fresh margarita!
Answer: 2 stars
Explanation: The writer has been annoyed in this place and has enjoyed the food. So, "2 stars" sounds reasonable for it.
Part 3. Exercise

I'm all for supporting my neighborhood shops & restaurants, so when I took notice of this establishment I told the hubby that we got to go try it.

When we first walked in the hubby & I didn't know what to make of the place because it was blaring club music. To make the situation more confusing was the interior decor, it was very nostalgic. But the hubby appreciated it as he noticed the old TV in a wooden box that took him back when he was a kid, so I get it.

I appreciated that we were seated and served our drinks right a way, but the service from there went down hill (Thus I'm giving this place a 3) I'm big on service so even if a restaurant has less than quality food but have exceptional service encourages me to want to come back.

For me the menu was a little confusing and felt that it could be more descriptive or perhaps our server could have go over it with us or suggest some items. Anyway, here is what we ordered:

* Kimchi Jjigae (w/pork) $8- This was very good. But I don't know if they were being skimpy on the meat because it was chopped up very small I hardly notice the meat in it.
* Galbi $12- This was very delicious. The meat was thick and juicy =P
* Potato pancakes $9- I never tried this before so I didn't know what to expect. It was the last thing to come out as the server explained that it takes a little more time because they have to smash the potato's. With that in mind I thought it should be good then cause they make it from scratch. I was totally wrong. Right when it was set on the table I was already disappointed as you can see the 4 pancake size potato's was very oily. It came with some dipping sauce that was just soy sauce mixed with sriracha and was the only thing that gave it any flavor.

I think Soyo is more a great place to go with friends, hangout and drink, rather a place to go have a lovely nice dinner with a love one.
