Tang Jip is owned by the same business woman who also founded the Ohgane Korean restaurants in the Bay Area. I believe there is also an Oakland location of Tang Jip. We visited the Hayward location. The vibe is very modern with some classic details.Along the walls are displays of Korean ceramics and fine arts. On every table there is a laminated pamphlet informing patrons about Tang Jip's philosopy and use of high quality ingredients. This set up a high expectations for the food, and fortunately, our expectations were met. The banchans (side dishes) foretold a promising meal. The taste of each dish was incredible. The kimchees were fresh and crisp. Chapchae was not soggy. Tofu skins were delicate and mild. For our entrees were had the rose tteokbokki, spicy pork + Naengmyeon combo, pork belly bossam, beef bulgogi and Soon Tofu soup combination, and dumpling soup with rice cakes. The rose tteokbokki in creamy rose spicy sauce was really tasty. The pork belly was great with the different dipping sauces and included kimchee. The tofu soup and dumpling soups were satisfying. They even included a raw egg for you to add to the tofu soup. The cold noodle was refreshing and not too spicy. The BBQ meats had great flavor, but the portions could be more especially since there were quite a bit of sautéed onions underneath. This is our only complaint. Otherwise, the restaurant delivered on its promise of top notch quality ingredients. read more

Seoul inspired Korean comfort food! This is a nice "fancy" ish new spot in downtown Hayward. We came on a Wednesday night for dinner and the place was packed! Portions were big and their tofu soup was really good. You can choose your spice level, we got medium and it had a nice kick to it. I saw they even had a "Danger" spice level lol We didn't get it this time, but this place also serves spicy raw marinated crab! What we ordered: * Dolsot Bibimbap w/ Beef * Soon Tofu Combo w/ Spicy Pork BBQ * Beef Short Rib Jjim * Donkatsu read more

Tang Jip is my favorite Korean restaurant in Hayward, and the Hayward location of Tang Jip is the best out of the three I have visited (and the only one I would wholeheartedly recommend). What I like about the Hayward location is the good variety of banchan, my favorite being the bokchoy kimchi. Additionally, the food is quite consistent, although the beef in the soups could be more tender (hence minus one star). It's worth mentioning that they have the raw marinated crab that has been trending online for some time now! read more

Very solid korean food, and maybe one of my favorite tofu soups ever! Came with two friends and we had got the beef soontofu & spicy chicken bulgogi combo, spicy galbi tang, LA Galbi, Rose tteokbokki, corn cheese, and kimchi fried rice. My personal favorite was the beef soontofu which was so rich with beef flavor and had huge generous chunks of beef. I also really loved the rose tteokbokki which had a good kick, balanced with savory cheesiness & slight pepper flavor. Also thought that the kimchi fried rice had a different flavor to it that I can't pinpoint, but absolutely loved! Everything else tasted standard and nothing stand-out when compared to other korean restaurants, but still tasty nonetheless. Loved the kimchi here as it wasn't overly fermented or sour! Service was as attentive as possible given an almost full house on a Saturday night. The spot is actually quite spacious and and very pleasant, bustling environment. Definitely a korean chain I'd like to continue to visit! read more

My friends and I stopped by Tang Jip to watch the World Cup match between South Korea and Mexico. As a group of four, we pre-reserved a table in advance on their website. For $89, the reservation included a full order of Korean fried chicken, your choice of bossam, jokbal, or dakbal, a bottle of soju, and two beers (or two mocktails). We opted for the bossam and the soji. The included items are enough to get you started, but you should definitely plan on ordering more food. After we finished the included items, we were still hungry for more. While the beginning was a bit chaotic in terms of settling in (i.e. we were missing tableware, glasses, didn't receive our drinks for a long time, etc.), after the match started, things became more calm and organized as the night went on. If you're used to a giant plate of bossam with cabbage wraps, you'll be somewhat disappointed with the bossam here. No wraps provided, and the bossam itself was a little tough. I appreciate that raw garlic and jalepenos were provided with this dish though. I was excited for the KFC when I saw it was included in our package, but I was incredibly disappointed when the platter of fried chicken arrived. Most pieces of chicken were cut to be the size of popcorn chicken -- with a few larger pieces here and there, but the chicken was completely unseasoned. I was definitely expecting some sort of glaze on the wings -- like a standard soy garlic glaze or a spicy red glaze. The chicken was dry, quite a bit overcooked, and was not very enjoyable. No dipping sauce was provided for the chicken either. We received a plate of tteokbokki as well for our table -- even though it wasn't originally listed in the set menu, and this dish was honestly the best dish of the night (although admittedly, it's a dish that's hard to mess up). We added on a soy marinated crab ($40) to our order, since we seldom see it at restaurants, and it was actually pretty good. I've had soy marinated crab that's been too salty, but I felt like they allowed the natural flavor of the crab to shine through here. I wish a tad more rice was provided with this dish. Overall, Tang Jip has a fun, energetic atmosphere to watch a South Korea World Cup game, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. 3.5 rounding up to a 4. read more

This was my first time visiting Tang Jip on a Saturday afternoon. They were very busy and ran out of a couple of dishes we'd hoped to order, including the Bossam. Their banchan was excellent as well in terms of quality and flavor profile, but unfortunately no refills were available as they were short staffed in the kitchen and had also run out. We ordered the spicy galbi jjim, raw marinated crab, and rose tteokbokki. My favorite was the raw marinsted crab for how sweet and fresh the crab was. I appreciated the side of rice and seaweed they provided, along with the gloves to eat the crab legs. The galbi jjim was good too, though the serving size was smaller than I expected. The cheese on top adds to the flavor, but makes it hard to see what you're grabbing from the dish. I ended up getting a lot of potatoes and carrots and unfortunately not much meat. Overall, Tang Jip was great and I would bring friends and family to eat here again the next time I'm in the East Bay. read more

I recently tried Tang Jip and it's nice to have a Korean restaurant like this in the East Bay. I appreciate having a local option nearby. We ordered the spicy galbi jjim. The flavor was good but I found the meat a little tough. I also wasn't a huge fan of the banchan. The service was good though! While I still find myself preferring some of the Korean spots in Fremont and Milpitas, I'd be willing to come back and give Tang Jip another try. read more

This place was pretty good. For one, their side dishes definitely made me feel at home. Now the entrees. Spicy chicken bbq was okay, too sweet and flavor was basically tteokbokki sauce. Corn cheese was delicious but pricy. It was perfectly sweet, cheesy, and savory. Naengmyun was disappointing. I'm a naengmyun maniac and this is exactly what I didn't want. I'm from KTown in LA so I know Bay Area naengmyun are usually hit or miss (I still have yet to find a spot that even remotely compares to my favorite spots in KTown). The broth was both flavorless and bland, noodles were whatever. Wouldn't get it again. Tofu soup: absolutely delicious. This might be the best tofu soup I've had in the Bay, San Jose/Santa Clara areas. Overall would recommend! read more

I visited this newly opened Korean restaurant on Saturday at lunchtime. The interior decor is stylish and distinctive, and the seating is spacious and comfortable. Each table has an electronic ordering system with photos, making it easy to choose dishes. The six complimentary side dishes were all quite good, and the staff proactively refilled them. However, the portions were rather small for the price. The food quality was decent overall, but the sizzling beef lacked the smoky grilled aroma I was expecting. read more

I've ordered to go and have dined in. Both times have been great. The galbijjim tastes good as is but I recommend adding the cheese. It tastes especially good if it gets a little crispy on the sides of the bowl. The meat was easy to eat. My friend devoured 3 ribs. The vegetables and rice cakes in the pot were soft and full of flavor.The sauce at the bottom of the bowl had a lot of flavor. You could eat it with rice. The spicy marinated crab came with a bowl of rice with toppings. They give you gloves to eat it with. It wasn't spicy. The spice just added flavor. 1 of our crabs wasn't good but the rest were really good. The rose tteobokki was also a table hit. Service was a little slow due to Mother's Day but they were quick to help when you got their attention. Inside is clean. read more

First time visiting Tang Jip. I went on a Sunday night. The inside was quite busy. My table waited 30 minutes to get off the waitlist. Unfortunately some items on the menu sold out and we had to cancel one of our orders as a result. The banchan did not come with refills as the kitchen was underprepared or understaffed. The food was amazing. We got the galbi jjim with extra cheese and rose tteokbokki. Those were my favorite. Restroom was clean but out of paper towels. Parking is adjacent to the building or street. read more

This place exceeded my expectations. Absolutely delicious, it is a bit pricey but worth it. Yelp had a wait but we were seated as soon as we walked in. Parking is around but that area parking is a nightmare. Love the combo since I like both. Service was fast, we ordered using the table-side ordering system. Fast and easy to pay. The servers brought everything out fast and they were friendly. Very clean and simple. Cute decor. read more

Grabbed dinner here on a Saturday night and it was lively but not full so we were able to get a seat immediately. It seemed like a popular place for families and bigger friend group dinners as well. The service was great. They came by often to refill water and ban chan. The food was great! You dont see many places anymore that do the meat & tofu soup combo! The meats were good, cooked well and flavorful. The tofu soup hit the spot just right! The bossam was decent but I would skip next time. A little on the pricier side, but it's the economy we live in. Would come back next time we come up to the area! read more

Tang Jip - Korean Near Me - Hayward, California

Great addition to downtown Hayward. We need a good Korean restaurant in this side, and this one has marinated soy crab which the other Korean restaurant in Hayward does not have. We were worried about parking but found plenty in the back but it's right next to an adult store - hmmm:) It seems safe though. The place was modern, and very clean. I can't believe this used to be a Japanese restaurant before Service was top notch, and they asked if we have been there before, if we knew how to eat the raw crab, and explained in good detail what to do. Our favorite was the Rose Tteokbokki, it was soft but not too soft, and the sauce tasted so good. The raw crab was rich, and the extra rice definitely helped. We liked how you can order a combo of soft tofu soup with meat. Small plates but enough so you get variety to share. read more

Love this place !! This is my 3rd time coming here with my family and it hits the spot every time! There's a shared parking lot in the back of the building and plenty of street parking in case it's full. Staff there is always welcoming and always quick to respond even when busy. Space is clean and has a warm atmosphere. The food is 10/10, probably the best in the area. Plenty of variety to choose from and new things to try. Definitely recommend if you are looking for Korean food ! read more

Wait: waited 1 hr for a table for 6 on Sunday night (Father's Day). The waiting area is sub optimal. They have a huge island that is employees only but they never go back there so i suggest removing that & making more space for people to wait. It's very crowded & hot otherwise. Also. There was a lady on her laptop for literally 45 min after eating & she took up a whole 4 person table. Why would the staff not kindly ask her to leave. This is NOT A COFFEE SHOP. NOT FOR WORKING. There were so many (10+) parties waiting. Food: so good. Seafood pancake was crispy & had lots of seafood. I normally don't like cuz soggy but this was delish. Tofu soup bulgogi combo was ok - quite small. Seollontang was good & bland & i like that you put your own salt. Bossam was delish too with the samjang. Bibim naengmyeon tasted like ones I've had in Korea. Yum. Banchan is also good!! Would def come back to try the budae jiggae or Galbijjim. read more

We came here for the raw marinated crab! First off, parking is a little challenging. There's a small parking lot, but some street parking, as well. When we entered, we noticed the decor was pretty nice! Restaurant seemed clean and each table had an ordering tablet. We placed our order and within about 10 minutes, all of our food came out hot and fresh (with the exception of the raw marinated crab). -Soy raw marinated crab: comes with rice that has fish roe, seaweed salad, dried seaweed, and maybe some sort of radish. If you order an extra order of this rice it's +$9. The raw marinated crab had a good amount of flavor, and was very fresh. A bit on the pricey side, but I guess it might be straight from Korea. You don't get to pick the size of the crab like some other restaurants in SoCal. -seafood pancake: came out so hot and crispy, lots of seafood. Felt like this was done very well. -seafood soon tofu: came out bubbling hot and remained hot for a long time. Comes with an egg you can crack into it to cook. It came with a lot of tofu and seafood, which made this dish so worth it. We got spicy for heat level and it was perfect for spice lovers! Banchan was very fresh. I really enjoyed the pickled kimchi radish. It has a bit of sweetness I enjoy. The fish cake was sliced into thin pieces. There was also soybean sprouts, japchae (a bit on the plain side), and kimchi. Unfortunately the staff didn't check in with us outside of dropping off our dishes, so we didn't really get Banchan refills, as other reviewers mentioned. Service was otherwise fairly friendly. Overall, Tang Jip is a very solid place for Korean food! read more

Tang Jip might be my favorite casual Korean spot in the East Bay. Everything hits and the portions are so worth it. You need to get these dishes: Galbijjim - I love how the tender beef complements the salty savory sauce, with bits of rice cakes and pumpkin in the mix! Soy marinated crab, mix it with roe and their rice bowl and it's unreal. I recommend trying the spicy raw marinated crab for elevated flavors. Soon tofu combo: your choice of bbq meats + tofu soup under $30. This would definitely be my go to here. Such a good value set, I really enjoyed my bulgogi and seafood tofu soup. Galbi tang, so comforting and clean tasting with chunks of beef and glass noodles. Plus they don't hold back on the six yummy banchan (side dishes) and are quick with refills, which I love. If you're looking for a spot in the East Bay for comforting Korean food and good variety of dishes, this is your sign. read more

The place is adorable with nice decors. The layout is still the same as the way Sapporo used to have. The parking is still crowded since it's available for all businesses at the area. The food was very tasty and full with in no time. Two of us decided to go with the combo of seafood tofu soup and Galbi. That came five pieces to six pieces of Galbi and less than a palm side of my hands. We also went for kimchi pancake. Everything came out nicely. The service is ok. We ran out of water and yes we had to ask for everything. The place was busy since it was Juneteenth. We understood. Thank you for being in my community and yes I will be back to try your other dishes. Keep it up the good work. read more

Bright and clean. Order on the table-side computer which has photos of everything The alcohol says sold out but it isn't. The makeoli all has fructose, sucralose or aspartame unfortunately, though I'm not surprised. It's hard to find at American Korean restaurants. We ordered the dolsat beef. Small amount of meat but a large amount of vegetables-- so I was full at the end and this was healthy. The rice got evenly crisp without being too oily The banchan was pretty good. I'm a no- spice girl and there were 3 dishes for me The dolsot was flavorful without adding gochuchang We will return and try the marinated crab and bulgogi and soup!!

Give yourself more time to find parking. read more

This review is PURELY what I ate and I can promise you if I had their other stuff, their recommendation, it will definitely be higher. I know some people give 4-5 stars as easy as handing out handing out pamphlets but a 3 star here from me is not low at all. The thing about this pork soup is that I crave it because of this shop in Korea that sells so I ordered it knowing that it probably wouldn't be as good so I knew what I was getting in to. Now for the real review, the rice is nice the banchan is also very solid, loved their 3 different kinds of kimchi. The soup itself is very clean tasting but I wish there was just a little more pork flavor in the broth. The pork itself was a little tough and dry but I love that it came out boiling. The staff was also really nice a friendly and I love how they use tablets reminds me of ordering food in Korea. Last but not least service and ambiance rarely shifts how many stars I give a place so I try to give the most honest and straightforward reviews that foodies are looking for. read more

Tang Jip - Dweiji Gomtang - Korean Near Me - Hayward, California

We usually buy take out from this restaurant, it's very hard to find a parking spot. There is a small, I should say tiny, parking lot near the restaurant, but it is always full. Kalbi is always a good choice, well seasoned. We also like the grilled pork belly, but after a few tries, we won't order it again because it is TOO fatty!! I can feel my arteries clog up just looking at the amount of fat on these pieces. We will switch to the the bossam, the boiled pork that you eat wrapped in lettuce and pickled radish. It comes in 2 sizes, appetizer or main course. If you like banchan, those Kim chi and pickled veggies, they don't give enough when you order to go. You need to specify you want more... This used to be Sapporo, a Japanese restaurant. The newly decorated Tang Jip looks very nice, well lit. The staff is welcoming and pleasant. read more

Wow, the ambiance here is amazing!!! It is so neat, clean and the dishes/plates/utensils are gorgeous!! I don't usually point that out but it was a topic of discussion between me and my friends! We ordered: -spicy pork bulgogi -bulgogi -kimchi fried rice -beef stone pot bibimbap -soy marinated crab They also served us a roasted barley tea? I think, but it was delish! Everything was.. pricey! My personal order was the bibimbap and i don't think it was anything crazy. I've had better and the portion was actually pretty small. The bulgogi was great and so was the kimchi fried rice! The standout for me was the soy marinated crab, but beware it is $40 for ONE portion. It's delicious but it comes with only one rice bowl and a small portion of crab. Minimal interaction with the servers, we did ask for water and we were given a pitcher but not cups lol. read more

We came here on Valentine's Day around 5pm. No waitlist required but after sitting for 20-30 minutes, there was about 4 parties waiting to dine inside. Definitely come early! We really wanted to try their soy marinated raw crab and hear really good things about their other dishes too. We also ordered the bossam appetizer, and a short rib beef soup that was definitely worth the visit. The bossam appetizer doesn't come with cabbage even though the pics show cabbage on the side. However, it wasn't much of a big difference seeing how we had so much food. Very typical bossam tha was very fulfilling. The main stars of the dinner was the soy marinated crab and the soup. The crab is served with a rice bowl filled with typical Korean sides that you can mix with the raw crab meat. The rest you squeeze the meat by hand using food gloves provided. Overall a very fun and delicious meal! The soup was definitely the highlight of the dinner. It's served with a generous amount of rice and definitely is more delicious served together. The inside was quite spacious, decor was very comfortable, and service was overall great even when it was busy. Overall, great valentines dinner with the girlfriend. 5/5 for sure! read more

This location use to be a sushi place and I even remember how the set up was. Now this restaurant took a more open space approach which is actually really nice. They have iPads to order from on the tables in the main dining room. So we've been to the Concord location and had a great time there and had some amazing food. So me and my boyfriend decided to try the Hayward location. When we got there, I honestly didn't think they were as busy but I could be wrong. Anyways, we were sat almost immediately and was assisted by our server. We ordered the Tteokbokki, the beef dolsot bimbimbop, and the beef short rib. We received our banchan right away along with refills since we were finishing it so fast. Their banchans were actually really good and very tasty. So our appetizer tteokbokki and short ribs came to our table at a decent time. The short ribs was really good and had great seasoning. It was well made and cooked well. Their korean bbq has definitely been always good. So the reason why I gave them 3 stars was because of how long it took for my order to get to our table. I ordered the dolsot bimbimbop and I honestly don't know why of all orders this was the one that took so long. It took almost if not more than 30 minutes for this meal to arrive and even then after I asked for it and was told 5 more minutes it was another 15 minutes and I just told them to pack it up since I no longer had the appetite to eat also my boyfriend was done with all his food and I haven't started yet. What was frustrating to me about this was a table that came way after us, ordered after us got their hot stone bimbimbop so I honestly think they either forgot my order or took my order to a different table. They didn't charge me for my order and gave me 10% discount for my next visit. I appreciate the gesture of trying to make things right. Hopefully one of this days we'll try them out again. read more

We checked out this restaurant for dinner on Monday night. We were seated right away. It's a pretty spacious restaurant with clean aesthetics. You can put your name down on the waitlist before you arrive. Their banchan were really good. I think they make their own kimchi. We tried the spicy Galbi jjim which came with two sides of rice. It was so flavorful and filling. The beef was tender and the rice, cakes and pumpkins went well with the sauce. The service was also really good. The servers were attentive and friendly. Overall had a very pleasant experience. I would come back to try other dishes here. read more

Tang Jip - Banchan - Korean Near Me - Hayward, California

A new Korean BBQ spot just opened in my city, and I was excited to give it a try. We ordered the dinner for two ($69.99), which came with beef short ribs, kimchi, two bowls of rice, and several fermented side dishes. Everything had really great flavor, and the sides complemented the meal well. We also ordered two alcoholic drinks raspberry and lychee and both were delicious and refreshing. Definitely a nice addition to the experience. I originally thought it would be the type of Korean BBQ where you cook the meat yourself at the table, but the food came out already prepared. Even so, the short ribs were flavorful, and the overall meal was satisfying. Could have more meat. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a really nice ambiance. The only downside for me was the service. It was just okay I wasn't really greeted the same way I noticed other tables were. I was handed a menu without much of an introduction, while other guests seemed to get a full rundown of how everything works. That part could definitely improve. read more

Delicious Korean food in the East Bay! My friends and I came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and it was a great experience! We did come here for the raw marinated crabs; however, we were informed they already sold out for the day! It made sense, though, as they only had a limited amount each day. We decided to order: rose tteokbokki, kimchi pancake, galbi tang, and bossam. All of the food we ordered was delicious, and there were no misses. My notable favorites are the galbi tang and the bossam. The broth of the galbi tang was so flavorful and light, and since it was a cold night, it definitely warmed me up. The bossam was super tender, and we ordered lettuce to make it into wraps. We also ordered the Jipyeong makgeolli, which was light and sweet. As a birthday treat from the restaurant, our server came by with a sparkling lychee soju shot for my friend, and luckily, our server gave our table the soju bottle to try! It was very light, and I love the taste; I never had sparkling soju before, either. The restaurant's decor and interior are also beautiful. Super spacious and perfect for big groups! I definitely would come back next time to try more food and hopefully to try the raw marinated crab too! read more

So excited for this Korean restaurant to thrive in the East Bay! I often go to the South Bay for Korean food, so I was thrilled to learn that Tang Jip had opened and offered soy-marinated crab!! The restaurant had a lot of seating, so we didn't have to wait too long to sit down. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He would promptly get us scissors, extra napkins, or chopsticks when we asked. My group of 5 went to Tang Jip around 6:30pm on a Sunday evening primarily wanting to order the crab, but we unfortunately missed it by 20 minutes as they had ran out for the night. Our waiter notified us that there was a crab shortage in Korea, which is where they source all of their crab from. Despite missing out on this, we still ordered other dishes and really enjoyed them! The banchan was amazing, and the bok choy was my favorite. They refill any of the sides for free as long as you finish them.The kimchi pancake was great crunchy and savory. It was not spicy at all. The rose tteoboki was very soft and had a lot of rice cakes and fish cakes. They added the boiled egg and cheese for free, which I feel like some places charge for it. The galbitang was also soothing as it was very cold that night, and they gave a generous amount of meat and noodles. The bossam was my favorite as the slices of pork were very juicy and did not have a ton of fat on them. They do charge extra for lettuce, however, for the entree version of the bossam. Otherwise, the entrée version comes with radish paper and rice. We ordered a bottle of jipyeong makgeolli, which was slightly milky and had a subtle sweet taste. It was our friend's birthday, so they also gifted us a sparkling soju bottle that will eventually make its way to the main menu! We were so surprised and thankful that we got this! Overall, I highly recommend going here as it is a fantastic place to get Korean food. My friends and I will definitely be returning to try the crab and other dishes. Thanks to the Tang Jip staff at the Hayward location! read more

This Korean restaurant just opened in our area, and honestly, Hayward really needed a good one. We came a couple of days after Christmas on a Sunday night, and it wasn't too busy. After watching Culinary Class Wars, we were seriously craving good Korean food and voila! We discovered how good this place is. From the moment you step inside, the vibe is amazing. They had kimchi jars displayed at the front (not sure if they're actually fermenting them there), but it was such a nice touch and really added to the atmosphere. The service was great. We were seated immediately, and our server gave us a quick rundown on how to use the tablet at the table, which made ordering super easy. We ordered the Bossam (appetizer), and it was more than enough for the two of us. It should be a full meal at that point lol not complaining!! It came with all the banchan, and the salted shrimp was especially good. The raw marinated crab? Chef's kiss. MUST TRY We also ordered the Dweji Gukbap (thanks again, Culinary Class Wars), and it was the perfect balance to the richer, more flavorful dishes we had. Overall, it was such a great experience. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Went here on a Friday night and it was hopping! We ordered corn cheese, kimchi pancake and kalbi jjim. Food breakdown incoming: -Banchan were tasty and plentiful. I liked that they included japchae and two kinds of kimchi which you don't always get. The kimchi was especially tasty and is clearly homemade. - Corn cheese was a little bit of a let down because it was just cooked corn with cheese melted on top. I know that might sound silly, but I like the version that comes in a cream sauce a little better so maybe that's my personal taste. - Kimchi pancake was very good! It was crispy and savory and came in a big portion. We saved some for two more meals. - The kalbi jjim was tasty but the wait for it is what took this down from a four star to a three star experience. It took very long (like over an hour) for it to come, so by the time it did arrive our rice and other stuff was cold. To give credit to the staff they were very gracious and attentive and explained that there were just a lot of orders and not alot of space to cook them, but it was still tough watching everyone else eat and leave while we were still there waiting. Good news is a neighbor went and ordered the same thing a few days later and said it took 15 mins max, so perhaps that problem is sorted, but just something to be aware of! read more
