Worst experience ever!We were assigned at the corner of the restaurant. There were 6 of us and we were told the minimum order was 2 of the set meals or 6 plates of a la carte meat platter or a mix of both since we had 2 stoves. We had a hard time placing our order as a lot of the meal combos were sold out already. That left us only one set meal option so we basically had no choice but to order that. And we added 3 other plates of meat.The food was pretty good. It was not our first time dining in MeokBang but we never visited this one in Mega Box. We usually go to the one in Mongkok and we always had a great family time.After our orders arrived, we noticed that no appetizers were given. The kimchi, pickled radish, pickled cucumber, lettuce, pepper and garlic were no where to be found. We asked the waiter at least 3 times before we had our first round. About midway through our meal, the first round was finally served. Everything was emptied in seconds since we had been waiting for a long time.After that, we ordered again, at least 4 times, to different waiters for the same appetizers. The last time we 'begged' the waiter very politely to give us the lettuce to go with this meat, he told us very impatiently that he had placed the order for us. And it was not his but his colleagues' duty to deliver the dishes to our table. We noticed that the table next to us was served with all the appetizers minutes after they had sat down, even before they placed an order. And they kept serving the other table that was a member.I do not understand the discrimination towards our table. Is it because we did not ask aggressively? Or is it because we were not members? It was obviously very busy and short staffed that night. And I get the delay of service. But I do not get the difference of service provided to us and the others. …Read More

I was there a long time ago but am only free to write a review now.Their food and mocktails are nice. That's the reason why I visited this place 3 times.However, for the last time, I had a life threatening experience.I ordered another mocktail of the night. After a while, I realized there was something I'm unfamiliar with in my drink. I am allergic to alcohol so I never tried it for decades. And also, I can't have grapefruit juice because it clashes with my medicine.My face started to blush, I had itch all over my body and I went out of breath for a little. So I asked a waiter what exactly I was drinking. The waiter (I think he was the manager) said I was having a cocktail with grapefruit juice. I said that's not what I ordered since I am allergic to those ingredients. And I only asked for a refund. That waiter said they messed up with my order but did not ask if I was OK. He just rejected me straight away. And when I insisted, he said he could change the bill back to what I ordered originally which was a cheaper mocktail, instead of charging the more expensive cocktail. I was like but that's not what I wanted or ordered. He said you already drank this much, I can't refund the whole drink to you. And he implied that I still looked ok and not sick.I quit arguing with him because I had to rush to the hospital to keep myself alive.I believe some may say I shouldn't go to a bar when I'm allergic to alcohol but I always like the vibes, the mocktails and I was there to socialize and eat with friends.Just sharing my experience here to alert you guys…Read More
