Playground Korean Restaurant San Francisco Japan Town

So we were all excited to go to this place after watching it on Check Please Bay Area...and we took the family there thinking it would be terrific food. We've had good Korean BBQ before, both at a restaurant and at friends houses, so for a place to be on a tv show, we thought "heck, it's gotta be good!" Warning: don't be fooled! Nothing about out meal was good. The short ribs were ok..but nothing great, we ordered the BBQ pork...fatty and not good...and the chicken which was super dry and in super small pieces. It honestly did not taste much like BBQ.

The service was terrible as well. Our waiter took our order, and never returned until he gave us the check...not even a refill on water! Oh and don't order hot tea...it tastes like dirt water, and is served in the same plastic cup they serve water in.

Also, make sure to pace out your sides as they don't refill them. So if you want Kimchi with your meal...only have a small piece at a time. I guess you could order more of it...but do that when you order or else you won't see your waiter again.

Maybe this was just our experience, as everyone else had good things to say, but we went on a saturday around 5-6pm...I would expect a better experience then this!
