Miga Korean & Japanese Bbq

Did they switch owners?

Since my last visit, 9 months ago, I have been twice and I *suspect* that they have changed owners. There used to be some younger waitresses, but now they are all middle-aged. One waitress in particular seemed quite impatient. She tried to take our order within 30 secs of being seated and she came back twice before we were ready! Same goes for the bill that she placed on the table while we were still talking. The presentation, especially in the side dishes, is completely different. For the most part, I used to asked for them to be refilled, now I don't care for them much. The kim chee even appears to be of a lower quality. Today, I tried to order a stone pot with fish eggs and the waitress said, "Today, no sushi", so I continued with my ordering. Then she said, that they didn't have any fish eggs which I was disappointed with. I ended up ordering something else on a whim and it was just okay. Nothing special or particularly yummy as it used to be. :( Can someone confirm this?

good but pricey

Me and my friend ordered Korean BBQ. The food was good but it was not enough food for paying over $60 for 2 ppl. I would go there on special occasions. once or twice a year? maybe?

The Korean BBQ served at Miga is delicious and authentic. You can taste the natural sweeteners used in the meat (I read that they use kiwis to tenderize and sweeten the meat & sauce). The side dishes are also very good. The only complaint I have is that the Korean BBQ is pretty expensive & from my past experience, not all you can eat. Though despite this, I find Miga a great place to dine. =)

After at least a year or so of not visiting, I stopped by today for their lunch specials - also available on the weekends which is GREAT! (I don't visit often 'cause I do find it a bit more expensive than other Korean restaurants. For example, a non-lunch special bbb is ~$13!) First of all, after we ordered, the waitress brought 7 Korean side dishes including: bean sprouts, small, sliced pickled cucumbers, kim chi, potatoes with a sweet syrup, marinated eggplant, crunchy seaweed, & glass noodles. 7 BANCHANS + a bowl of miso soup. We both ordered different bim bim baps (stone pot rice) from the lunch specials menu. (In hindsight, I wish that 1 of us ordered sushi, so that we could've had more variety.) I ordered the Spicy Pork and my bf got the regular Beef/Veggie BBB. Both bowls were scorching hot, as they should be. I didn't try the reg bbb, but my pork was marinated very well, having a spicy+sweet taste which I love! Unfortunately, no veggies came with my bbb. It basically looks very much like the photo, so if you want veggies too, order another dish. Hopefully the banchans balanced things out! My bf said that his regular bbb was delicious, using a better quality beef than most places. The bowl was hot enough that the bottom of the rice was crispy. :) No real complaints. Service is a *tad* slower than most Asian places, but not terrible. Something else that stood out was that their tables are quite high OR the chairs are waaay too low. There was a HUGE gap in between the tabletop and my legs. I felt like a midget eating at a giant's table! The seat of the chair is sunken in + slippery (leather/vinyl?), and the backrest is tilted waaay back, so they're not very comfortable. If you have back problems or someone who needs lumbar support you'll definitely notice this detail.

Love the food here always dilicious! Find the...

Love the food here always dilicious! Find the staff the be very friendly and helpful. A little bit pricey in comparison so the all-you-can-eat korean bbq places downtown but you can taste the difference and it worth the extra money. Tip go for lunch they have great specials for only $9.95
