(Disclaimer, i do not know the difference between "authentic" korean food and "fast food" korean food) i've been going back and forth about this review whether or not this was a 4 or 5 star review. I went ahead with 5 stars because ultimately the flavor prevailed. i want you to imagine Panda Express or Chipotle but KBBQ. My suggestion is to actually have customers walk the line vs order at a kiosk and then wait for your number. Ultimately I feel like the wait will be similar and it's visually appealing to the customer knowing the last piece is just to pay and you'll enjoy your food. Prices were reasonable however you get more veggies vs. meat. The favor is ultimately top tier. I prefer my bulgogi to be with a slight char but this was authentic (i think) The banchan (not pictured) was fresh and so good! The spicy cucumber and fish cakes are my favorite! I can eat those with white rice and be done! This place needs all the flowers because it is unique in its own way and very good. Peeked in the back of house and saw what looked like quality ingredients. (based on videos i've seen on social media about korean cooking lol)

I decided to try this spot after I had a craving for some Hawaiian food but everything was to far. Yes, I know this is Korean not Hawaiian but I wanted some sweet savory beef and that is also along the flavor profiles of bulgogi. I think it is fairly new since it has a "Now Open" sign on a couple of sides of the building. So, I went real basic with the regular plate with bulgogi beef, fried rice as the base and the dumplings as the side. The bulgogi was delicious. Exactly the taste I came for. I do prefer the meat a bit toasty, but that's based on the AYCE places where you cook your own meat. Taste wise on the marinate- on point. The fried rice was not bad. Definitely had more of a Korean fried rice taste, like they used a little bit of vinegar? Or maybe the corn gave it this very defining taste, not like the fast food Chinese places' fried rice. And the dumplings were good as well. 3 dumplings in my order. Nothing extraordinary. The plate was $10 with taxes included, no drink. The value for what you get is pretty good. The portion is substantial. The ambiance- nice, there is a long bench against the wall and tables brought up to it, really good use of that space. There is also self serve miso that was very tasty. Nice touch there BOT. Now, the ordering part is a little confusing for a second which is why I took away a star. No one working there guided me on what in the world they as options. Obviously it was not so confusing that I did not figure it out, but if someone would've actually helped me, enticed me on trying something new or such I would've. There is a sign that says "order here" and you just put in your order in a tablet. It was good there was not a whole bunch of people because it did not ask me for my name so when my food was ready the guy just said "Another bulgogi beef plate" (there was a person that ordered right before me). I would only come back here if I had a real bad inkling for just bulgogi and white rice, but sadly, I probably will just wait it out until I can go to a AYCE place instead.

Saw this place on instagram. It’s a pretty small place but seating enough for maybe 25 people max. It’s like the style of panda express, where you select what you want in a plate. The food was pretty solid, bulgogi was a little too greasy and oily towards the end, but the kimchi and rice and topokki were good enough. I would come back here for a quick bite. It was about 10 dollars for a plate which comes with one base one meat and a side, but since i got another side and a drink it was about 16-17$ total. They do have free miso soup, which is nice but i would prefer if they had water that you didn’t have to pay for.

Really late review since I went here two weeks ago. I saw this place on Instagram and I was in the area so I went and tried it. It's easy to miss if you are not paying attention. When I parked I went in through the side door instead of the main entrance. But you can still walk to the self-order kiosk and see all the food they have which they serve like fast food Chinese. The dining area is kind of small but has plenty of seating. So I got the large plate with two entrees, two meats, two side dishes, and the free miso soup. The person at the counter was helpful and was ready to answer any questions you have. So I got the Fried Rice, Garlic Noodles, Teriyaki Chicken, Spicy Chicken Bulgogi, Japchae Noodles, Fish Cakes, and the miso soup. Everything tasted great the fried rice wasn't bland and the noodles had plenty of flavor. The teriyaki chicken and spicy chicken bulgogi was excellent the chicken wasn't dry and the chicken wasn't too spicy and the teriyaki chicken wasn't drenched with teriyaki sauce. The japchae and fish cakes were solid and it's a good break from all the main dishes although I wish the portions were bigger but they were still good. I spent almost $15.00 without a drink and this lasted me for my lunch and dinner. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area if I'm craving Korean food!

A great place that would definitely make me a regular if I lived closer however I'm willing to take the drive! The food is hot, delicious, authentic and very fairly priced for the portions you get. There are spicy, non spicy and veggie options too so there's a dish for everyone. I loved the Bulgogi and the fried rice. My toddler loved the teriyaki chicken and noodles. Their spicy squid and pork is really good too. Definitely coming back! We even left with leftovers as a family of 3. The staff are super welcoming, patient and informative, they explain how to order and are so kind. Lots of seating, very clean and they had great music playing too!

Ordered the plate with spicy pork/squid, noodles, and jap chae. It was delicious and affordable. Will definitely be back for more!

Food is excellent and very good quality. The service was efficient and friendly. Much better and healthier than cava and chipotle imo. The area is very lowkey. I appreciate the delicious food and I hope this place is promoted more!

This is like korean version of panda express bento box style. Loved their ordering system which is on a touch screen. I chose the large plate - double chowmein, bulgogi, and spicy pork and squid. For my side dishes i chose japchae and fish cakes. Chow mein was bomb - it reminded me of the chow mein you get at thr chinese buffet but like way lighter not as greasy. Bulgogi meat was so good - not too sweet and very lean no gristle or fat. Seasoning was perfect and the portion size was huge The star entree was the spicy pork and squid - so tender and flavorful. Even though its super red it doesnt taste spicy its sweet almost like bbq sauce I loved the side dishes - japchae and fish cakes. Tasted legit and fresh tasting not stale. Reminds me of the side dishes u get at korean bbq. For 14 dollars u get so much food - definitely good for two big meals and theres a miso soup station by the cashier. I will defnitely get back to try all the other entrees and sides

This is a great fast food Korean place. Everyone was very nice. Food came out super quick. I was working and it was easy to pick up and take back to work.

Friendly staff and the portions are bug but I thought it lacked a little bit of flavor.

You will definitely get your moneys worth here. The food was so much better than your average asian fast food and the portions were huge. If you plan on eating there, you need to buy water or just bring your own.

I was looking for a lunch place that sells fried rice for less than $10 and came here to give it a try. I ended up getting the regular size meal with fried rice, kimchi, and spicy bulgogi and it was great! Everything was fresh and tasted good, service was super nice, there is a complementary miso soup, and the price is exactly what you want for a good lunch. I'll definitely be coming back here regularly. Highly recommend!
