I just wanted to give another side to the story because I was there and thought that your critique wasn't accurate. The guy hardly speaks a lick of english, so I fail to see how he was so rude to you. Hogaarden isn't on the menu. My friend actually wanted 'Heiniken' which you heard as 'Hogaarden' and proceeded to order another.

First names. Who cares?


No, the guy spoke perfect English. I know, because I had to talk to him when he was being rude to me when I asked him if I could pay my part of the bill and he was being a dick to me. A dick. Your friend did indeed order a Hogaarden. I know, because I looked right at him and said "Yeah, Hogaarden, I'll have one too." And you're being an antagonist. I really don't understand why, but anyway, carry on.

Since when did someone have to speak English to be rude to someone? Just a thought...

Body language and huffs and puffs speak volumes. I've never gone to the place as I am not an Itaewon person.

That Coco Loco place is a rip-off and the waiter when I was there was a real jerk, too. Pascal should be ashamed. He's too busy drowning in money, I guess.

You know there is a big difference between Spanish food and Mexican food. Go get a burrito somewhere else. Do you ever wonder why they treat foreigners bad? Maybe it is because in the United States they treat foreigners like garbage. What goes around comes around.

Why always with the hostility? You ordered the burrito fully aware of much it cost. Also, Hogaarten isn't even on the menu so there's no need to get pisst that they didn't have it. Paying the bill when the party leaves is also common-place the world over and not a big deal at all. I also thought that the service was excellent. That french girl was very pleasant.

I don't usually like to get involved in petty, little threads like these ones but I thought that the OP was 'well off the mark'.

Just thought I'd share.



Hogaarden was on the menu. Your friend ordered it as well as me. The guy behind the counter was rude as *beep* to me, more than once. You guys didn't see it thought because you were sitting outside when I was trying to settle my end of the bill. All I did was ask him if I could pay my share of the bill and he was a dick. A fucking dick, like a lot of people who work in Itaewon, which leads me to conclude that I will not be spending my days in Seoul there. I paid it, didn't complain, didn't argue with the man, but I will not be going back to that place or any other over priced shit hole in Itaewon. Fact. Itaewon sucks. The people suck, the product is shit, and the food has given me a headache and my stomach is all ripped up because of it.

And thanks for addressing me on here by my first name. Good one. Thanks. Really. Knew I could count on you for that.


Wow, I lived in the Itaewon area for a year, and have to say you're full of crap. Sorry. I mean, of course, don't go there at night unless you're fine with a sketchy time, but in the day you've got: good to great food. Decent people watching. Rooftop pool in the summer.



is it easy enough to find esl jobs there? Im sure that area have too many teachers and not enough schools... Id like to live there, and im ignoring peoples stupid remarks about overpriced food at 1 restraunt.
