Finally, I revisited Tian Restaurant after a horrible experience while back. If you don't know what I mean read my FIRST review of Tian.

After my first visit, I didn't really find any reason for me to go back there but people have been telling me including "Jay" from the comment that Tian actually GOT better. Also they started this 99cents Jjajangmyun which seems to catch everyone's attention. So we finally revisited that place.

Tian Restaurant
We ordered PahlBochae (Seafood Mix) and two orders of Jjajangmyun. We found out that each bowl of Jjajangmyun automatically adds a dollar tip. So I guess you could say that Jjajangmyun is $1.99 which is still not too bad. Although the taste has nothing so special but for that price it was pretty good and pretty good serving size too. Also Pahl Bo Chae was pretty good too.

Tian Korean-Chinese restaurant in Ellicott City, MD

Tian just opened last September. It's a Korean-Chinese restaurant and supposed to be the third franchise from Centreville, VA.

I went to Tian the first week they opened. As soon as I walked in, I realized that they did spend some money in interior design. Compared to other Korean restaurants interior was better than any other except that the seating arrangement was too tight and felt like one giant cafeteria table. Other customers (total strangers) were only about a foot away from me. That was uncomfortable.

Servers, whew... wasn't trained at all. But it seems like all the Korean restaurants don't emphasize in training their employee about the importance in customer service. No one smiled, no one was being nice. They were all confused and weren't providing customer service. They were just 'delivering' food.
Enough about the service. This is not the first time I had problem with service in Korean restaurants. I also took some pictures of food I ordered.
