We visited the museum on a weekday. We didn't buy the tickets in advance. We saw a line for tickets. They asked us to form one line for both manual ticket booths and automated ticket machines which it didn't make sense. We tried to buy online but the ticket website didn't sell same day ticket. The only choice was to line up. I have visited other museums and they totally eliminated the manual ticket booths and everyone bought tickets online. Nobody needed to wait in the line.

After 30 mins in the line, we got our tickets finally. We went through the security check and entered the museum. We bought the general admission only since we didn't have a lot of time. The items in the exhibit were sparse. i.e. they didn't have a lot of items to display. The air conditioning was good enough for a hot day in October. The items in the gift store were pretty expensive.

After we left the museum, the harbor front view was excellent.

For $10, you get a main and a spring roll or a pop. Great value. I got the General Tao chicken on rice. I got a lot of chicken but no veggies. The portion was large. It tasted like Chinese takeout from a food court. It was not bad but nothing special. The restaurant was very dated. The owner focused on efficiency and you wouldn't get much service.

We made a reservation and got our table immediately when we arrived. We ordered salmon pressed sushi, assorted sashimi, tempura udon, jajang myeon and Korean fried chicken. The noodles were not bad. The sashimi was okay. Each slice was thick but they didn't have much taste in it. The fried chicken was juicy inside but the batter was thick. Service was good.
