Noo Na?

Last night my friend and I had dinner at Noo Na for our second time. The first time we went was decent. We shared the Hot stone Bi Bim Bap and a Seafood Pancake. Both were pretty good. Last night's visit, though, was a real disaster. We ordered the mushroom stuffed tofu app. and octopus veggie stir-fry. The app. came out- just pan fried tofu. Which wasn't terrible, but if advertised to be stuffed with mushrooms, it should contain at least at few. When we asked the server, he confirmed it was the dish we ordered, asked the kitchen and came back with 'oh I'm sorry this is a new dish for us.' So we sent it back and told him we would prefer to try something else (they didn't offer to remake it with the mushrooms or comp the messed up dish) so we got a seaweed salad instead. The salad was fine, but the octopus dish was terrible. More than half the dish was onion and scallion and the few bits of overcooked octopus (and I've had well prepared, tender octopus before) was inedible. We couldn't finish the dish. I'd love to hear any other experiences, as I had high hopes for this spot a neighborhood standby.
