Kojaba Korean Japanese Bbq - Columbia

I am a local and go there once with a friend. My comments: The food is average and the value is so so. The price is super expensive. Say if the cost of making the food is $1 they will charge you about $7, while other restaurants charge around $3 to $4. Misleading advertising. Their seafood pancake is actually pancake powder and onion and very little squid from a package of imitation seafood at the grocery. Cost around $2. Charge $17. Heineken beer. 1 bottle charge $6.5. Barbeque DIY. So so. Cost around $10. Charge $52. Worth around $25-30. The restaurant has very few customers when we came by. Probably just a hit and run operation. We come as a group of two. Charge us $50 each after one barbeque order, a seafood pancake and few drinks. We go to several restaurants. Never see something worst around Columbia Missouri.

Food is good enough I continue coming back although the service is always terrible and some items are very overpriced.I ordered pot stickers. The menu I got said 6 for $9. They brought out 5. I politely call the waitress over (who never checks on you or refills your drinks) to show her the menu said 6 pieces, not 5. She got the owner and he said that he must have forgotten to fix the price on that menu and brought me a different one to show me he fixed it in others. He didn’t offer an compensation or apology in the least. The the unobservant waitress spent several minutes checking the rest of the menus. The menus are COVERED in crossed out items and prices and handwritten write-overs.

Love their food. Authentic place. Hot pots to share and soju to buy. Korean and Japanese food. Just make sure to check your order if you get food to go. They tend to make some mistakes.

Bad service, bad food, stupid expensive food, harass us that we didn't give enough tip. Threatened to take it from our card. Charge per cup of soda without saying refills cost. Highly recommend going somewhere else.

They got our carryout order wrong, which is fine, but then expected us to bring the wrong order back so they could reserve it to other customers. Add in the sticky floors, and this place seems dangerously unhygienic.
