I wasn’t aware that “these Asian places have these features in common”… I’ve only encountered two Korean restaurants, one in Floresta and one in Flores, that had Korean only menus. I wouldn’t call the waitstaff rude in either place – at the first place that I wrote up a month or so ago, Kil Jung, it was simply a matter of some suspicion about how we got there (recall that that place is located inside the owners’ home) and why we had a copy of their menu already, pre-translated. The waiter in this place wasn’t at all rude, I think he just was steering us to the more popular dishes for non-Koreans (nor was he Korean, he was Argentine). He was also, as I said, more or less right, the menu was pretty much just minor variations on a couple of dishes. At the first place, overall, service and food turned out great, at this place, not so much – not because the former was rude, he just disappeared after serving us and the other table our food. Inattentive and rude aren’t the same, at least for me. And no, I don’t think the menu is for show, at least according to him, they had everything on the menu available, they just didn’t have a Spanish translation of it available – you either read Korean, or you don’t – obviously locals from the community are their more intended market.

If you click on the map at the top and go to full size in a new tab, you’ll see that this is the only place in the Flores Koreatown that we’ve not liked, out of 12 Korean restaurants there that we’ve tried.

A menu just there for show, rude waitstaff and they will bring you what’s available, regardless.
Is it because you are not Asian? Or are they just cover ups? I can’t see why someone would go through the hassle of opening a restaurant if they won’t tend to customers properly.
