3.5 I'd say, maybe a little better. Place is pretty good. I would certainly want to customize things a bit better. The guy at the front was really helpful with any questions that we had. We stuck around to talk for a bit to kind of get a feel for the place. We got everything to go though. I had gotten a bowl of course, and takoyaki, wings, bulgogi fries, and japchae to share. It did feel a bit pricey for the bowls with spring mix and tofu to be honest. I had gotten it with tofu, avocado, and a fried egg since that seems like the only way to get the whole experience. The salad felt like so little beneath the ingredients. If I think salad I'd definitely want a bigger bowl to balance things. The sides were all pretty good, though I'd say that the fries could've been crispier and the prices are a bit high for the amounts of food. All in all, I'd stop by again but it's a bit pricey to make too many trips. I'd be interested to see if things shift at all later on.

I come at least 3x a week now! Their Salt & Pepper wings are AMAZING! Super flavorful and fried to perfection! It's a MUST try!! I've also included pix of the cold bar toppings!

I like the idea of this place, the so called "Korean chipotle". Creating your own bowl with your choice of Korean favorite protein choices & toppings is great. But they offer more than that. You can get: Banh mi, fried rice, Japchae, Fries, Wings, potstickers and more. Everything I have tried has been excellent: bowls, musubi fried rice, Kimchi fried rice and bulgogi Fries. I have to knock off one star though. The thing is that the food does take a while to come out. It could take around 20 mins. And the last time I went, they forgot my order. I was with a group & my food came out 15-20 mins after everyone in my party received their orders. The cashier explained that it was her fault & when I got my food (bulgogi Fries) I could tell they added extra to it to make up for it. To me it's a forgivable mistake and the cashier was very nice.

This was my first time here and I wanted to try a little bit of everything on the menu! So first the kimchi fried rice, I would first have to say it wasn't my favorite due to lack of flavor. It didn't have much flavor and the rice tasted a little burnt to where it was hard to chew. The fries were pretty bomb. I liked how they were still crunchy when I got home. The only thing is, I wish the bulgogi was cut up into smaller pieces. The leche lemonade wasn't sweet enough, it was pretty sour. Then lastly, the banh mi! I loved the banh mi. It had a lot of flavor & it had a whole bunch of chicken in there. That's always a plus when there's a lot of meat in every bite. The only thing I would say about the banh mi is, the jalapeños were super spicy!! But overall really good. All in all, I would definitely come back for the fries & banh mi!

Service was great overall: super friendly and helpful! Unfortunately, the food was just not that good.

This place is great! I usually get the bulgogi bibimbap with fern, pickled radish, jalapí±o, and either the kimchi or cucumber kimchi. And if I feel like it I'll add a fried egg as well. I've tried the bulgogi banh mi and it's just as great. Haven't tried the other kinds of protein yet but I will!

First time here. The girl taking our order was super friendly and sweet. Food is made fresh. We ordered two Japchae bowls and fries. Food was good. Needed a little bit more sauce so we added siracha. Definitely coming back.

Great food, fresh ingredients, nice staff. Spicy sauce here is VERY spicy - word of caution to those who are sensitive

I was pleasantly surprised. I didnt try thier signature bowls, and basically made my own bim bim bopp bowl. You basically start with a base of rice or noodle, add your protein (meat/seafood), seasoned veggies, and sauces. We also tried the fried chicken wings, bulgogi fries, masubi fried rice. All awesome! Check it out you wont be disappointed.
Great little restaurant across the street from Cosumnes River College. Lots of parking spaces. Clean and friendly staff. Can order take-out or there are a few tables for eat-in. Great sandwiches and bowls. Bowls are healthy and delicious! The sandwiches are quite tasty! Definitely will be going back! Highly recommend!

First timer here. Ordered a bowl with brown rice, 5 toppings, chicken, and the sesame soy sauce. Loved it overall! They have great customer service and the chicken was very well cooked! Would come back again for either the same thing or for the kimchi fried rice (it caught my eye (: ).

Extremely disappointing. Got the bulgogi banh mi and the Classic bibimbap bowl, and both were basically flavorless even even we added extra sauce. The banh mi wasn't served on banh mi bread and had extremely thick slices of jalapeí±o that were the length and width of the entire sandwich and completely dominated any other flavor. The classic bowl didn't taste like anything and the meat was stringy. The fries were okay but nothing to write home about. Not worth it, especially not for that price

This is place is A+ with food and customer service. Me and my gf happened to walk in before this place before it had opened. The owner and his family were having a family dinner before they even open it up. I guess like a trial/simulation as to how it would be. They were nice to where the owner was like "oh we are not open yet, but you guys can join us". Oh course we didn't wanna crash a family party so we left but the gesture was nice. We went about couple weeks after they opened and they didn't disappoint. Food is really and they make it fresh. The owners are very approachable and friendly.

Best sandwiches and fries I've had!! Def get the spicy pork and bulgogi fries, it was spicy enough for some people but I needed to add more spice since I might have lost my taste buds a while back!
