Customer Reviews
I got the gan-jang beef bowl for $16.53 after tax. I think the beef flavor was good, but the beef texture itself was inconsistent. There were tender/fatty portions, but parts of the beef were quite tough & hard to chew. It came with a soft boiled egg, rice, sesame, and seaweed flakes. They charge $2.50 extra for kimchi. I feel like if you order the meal without kimchi, it lacks veggies & something to help you finish the rice. If you were to compare that experience to sit-down korean restaurants with free kimchi/banchan, it’s stingier. I would feel better paying this price if it came with kimchi, which seems like a necessary part of the meal. The owner was nice enough to offer me extra beef/free kimchi as a one-time service, and I took him up on that.
Delicious K-Food. The taste is same as when I ate it in Korea.
Great service and great food. The kimchi, pork belly, and spicy mayo were excellent. The soft boiled egg was a bit undercooked (whites were still liquid) but other than that it was great.
Wow. Great new find. Korean fast and delicious. Kimchee rice was on point. I also got the galbi beef which was equally impressive. I have a dental office around the corner and will definitely be back. Oh the service was very nice too
Filling, healthy, and yummy Korean bowls. Good variety of protein, can dine in and take on the go! Service is top notch, owner is so kind and friendly! Close to campus too. :)
