I visited Tian today and they were doing another special. However, today I wasn't prepared...so no pictures...

(for past reviews of this restaurant click here...)

Current special deals are if you order special large entree, Tangsooyook (sweet and sour pork/beef/chicken) OR Gganpoongi (like spicy buffalo wings in that restaurant) you get a FREE bowl of Jjajangmyun (Noodle with Black bean paste sauce).

Well, Jjajangmyun tasted ok. I think it actually got better, but don't forget that their Jjajangmyun was REALLY YUCKY the first time LOL.

And Tian started to give out free desserts for everyone, Red Bean Paste with Shaved Ice called Ppatbingsoo.

Here comes our experience...our server didn't confirm our order and and got our orders wrong ending up with extra appetizer for us (which we didn't want.) We didn't touch at all and we told the server that we never wanted that dish and she was almost ready to throw us a fit and started to talk back. We didn't want to make any situations there (Many Korean servers are usually more friendly to foreigners than Koreans...how unfair...) She wouldn't take it back and said that it was our fault. What the $%&^%^%...!

So we had to eat it and pay for it....that just ruined our appetite...from the start.

We wanted to get out ASAP so we just started to eat and was about to walk out and they told us about the dessert so we saw others having Shaved Ice with Red bean paste and fruits so we sat back down. And we got shaved ice with red bean paste....no fruit...nothing...just milk on the bottom....

If you say Ppatbingsoo, you would think of something like the following picture:

I know, I know...it's FREE dessert but we saw others having at least some fruit on the top...(what's this?) The top right corner Ppatbingsoo could be said to be the minimalist Ppatbingsoo...with some small rice cakes and at least jellies or canned fruit...but ours...was YUCK...! I don't know...maybe we had to ask for fruit shaved ice. Someone please tell me that was the case...

However, the other server (not the one who was ready to fight) was nice enough to get us a band-aid for my niece who got a cut and sweet enough to give her Dora Stickers so she wouldn't cry anymore. That was sweet.

Please remember...if you are not Korean you are definitely going to get better service than we did! LOL
How sad...but true throughout MOST Korean restaurants... and who knows...they might like you better and throw in extra something something.

Just remember to double check your orders though...it would be your fault...sigh*
