★★★☆☆ 3.0 Max Brewer (max768) · Oct 2025

I went in right when they opened and got the mini bowl with the Angus beef which was $12 alone. A bit pricey, but initially I was fine with it. Service was fast, but the food was cold. I was expecting it to be fresh and hot. The veggies were also pretty hard. I thought they were supposed to be cooked. $12 for a bowl of cold food wasn't really worth the price.

Terrible food, terrible customer service. I had an encounter with Stingy Sauce Man...you can tell he hates working here. As for the food, the chicken was overcooked, dry, and tasteless (that's why you need the sauce). Do yourself a favor and just go to Chipotle if you want a bowl. This place is useless. Supposed to be Korean inspired but not one person there knows anything about Korean food.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Adrian Luevano · Feb 2026

The guy in the front is very rude. First and last time coming here. Rice was all melted and felt he did it on purpose because I asked him to cook my meet well done.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Shaoqing xu · Apr 2024

Worst food I had in a long time. Burned food, see pictures. They need to clean the cookware. How did they get 4 star? I would take my hard earned money and run the other direction, wherever you can.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Reed · Oct 2025

The food is delicious and healthy, but the service is slow, and the interior looks a little run-down.
