In a nutshell; really is a togo place as there are a very limited amount seats, food is ok, it's rather pricey as well.If you're looking for Korean food to go and this was the only place around then I guess I'd say it's an ok option if you're only looking to buy one thing. It's get an ok selection of Korean sides/entrees/dishes to make a meal out of. There are also other options that doesn't prompt the customization where you pick which sides/entrees you want and etc. The employee was rather nice as our order took quite some time to prep. Food was ok. It isn't anything exceptional but it does satisfy your Korean food cravings.Overall it's ok. I'd probably rather try the other places around first before getting to this one.

Great customer service. I asked for extra rice and I got it. I got the chilli popcorn chicken and it was mid, taste and texture felt like it was a couple days old. Flavors were over powering. Seaweed mid. Baby crabs yuck. Shouldve asked for samples.

This place is amazing! The seafood pancake is super crispy on the outside, bursting with delicious seafood on the inside, and paired perfectly with a dipping sauce that will make your taste buds dance. As for the pork bulgogi, it's an authentic taste of Korea that never fails to transport me back there with every savory bite. Every dollar spent here is worth, with generous portions and top-notch quality that will leave me satisfaction. And let's not forget the complimentary yogurt at the end--a sweet touch that leaves me smile. Oh, and their adorable drawings distinguishing between the tofu soups? Pure genius! With such exceptional service and attention to detail, here's hoping this wonderful establishment continues to thrive!

such a good place to get lunch on the go. there isn't much indoor seating, but the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. the food is always mouth watering with generous portion sizes that leave you satisfied. the vegetable gimbap is on point with a delicious sauce. triangle gimbap is always fresh. the wait is never long, big orders are fulfilled in 15 minutes maximum. definitely a place you should try for quick good quality korean food.

Location: located in a plaza with plenty of parking! There's two tables inside and a cool outside for seating but a very small store since this place is meant for to go service! Service: very quick service! You pick if you want a bowl or plate then the entrees which they have displayed for you to pick what you want! For most of our entrees, they took our plate back and prepared it. What I ordered: Plate with 4 entrees + rice Potato and mozzarella corn dog My thoughts: Potato and mozzarella corn dog: I was expecting a normal size corn dog but this was about half the size of what I expected. It was heavy coated in sugar and so really sweet. It was very crispy though and had a really nice cheese pull though. Rating: 3/5 The plate was a decent size for the price. The entrees I picked were the beef bulgogi (extra $3), yangnyum chicken, popcorn chicken with sweet and sour sauce, and potato croquettes. Beef bulgogi: was warm temperature wise and as hot as I would have liked it to be. The meat itself wasn't too stringy or too fatty. Nothing too memorable about it besides it costing extra and being a small portion. Rating: 3.5/5 Yangnyum chicken: I had mixed feelings about this. The flavor of the sauce on the chicken was amazing BUT this was basically a bland boiled chicken wing with skin coated that was coated in a very very thick layer of batter and sauce then fried. The chicken itself was most but so bland and flavorless. All the flavor was in the sauce but there was so much batter on the wing we had to throw it away. Rating: 2.5/5 Popcorn chicken with sweet and sour sauce: the popcorn chicken itself was kinda dry and stall. The sauce didn't taste like sweet and sour. Rating: 2/5 Potato Croquettes: these were tasty but kinda bland. Tasted like fried mashed potatoes with a crispy tempera layer! Rating: 3/5

This is a quick, cafeteria style takeout joint. The menu isn't as large as at YD's sit down restaurants, but does hit some of the more popular items. Quality is good for items prepared in advance. The meal includes a small yogurt drink. I generally judge Korean restaurants on the Ban Chan, or side dishes. Not surprisingly, the selection left a lot to be desired. It felt expensive, but everything does in this post lockdown world. The small staff were friendly and helpful. You can ask them for suggestions or a taste of an unfamiliar item. The restaurant is located in the back corner of a strip mall anchored by a theater. There are several choices for food in the strip mall.

Finally got a chance to try this corner shop today and it really helped reenergize me. The server was super nice. The way this place works is you'd enter and there will be a display of food and you'd get to choose the food you want. The premium choices are cooked upon order so they stay hot. If you do not want one of the Togo platters, you can order one of their other entrees. This place really is meant for Togo as there are only 3 tables inside and a few more tables outside. It's meant more for people who need a quick stop to eat before running off or just grabbing food for later I got the plate with beef bulgogi, sweet chili popcorn chicken, japchae and the potato croquette. I honestly didn't realize how hungry I was until they scooped up my food, or it was so good, I became hungry. Beef bulgogi - I really only waited 2-3 minutes for it. It's not marinated in case anyone was expecting that, but still flavorful and good to eat Popcorn chicken - I think I ended up preferring this over the beef bulgogi because it had lots of flavor and still was pretty crunchy when I got it. The person helping me really tried to cram as much as he could in too, so thank you! Potato Croquette - I'm not sure how long it was just waiting at room temperature, but it was still very crunchy when I got it. I heard the crunch in every bite, but the inside was soft and light. I recommend eating without the ketchup they provide, it's such a treat on its own Japchae is just what you'd expect. First part of the platter I finished. The brown rice I got was also very warm and added a nice color to the dish. I'll have to come back to try their lunch special and other chicken dishes next time

This is cafeteria style. The food was not fresh. The portion that was cooked to order (bulgogi) was very dry and a very small serving. Kimchi cabbage had no fermentation at all and tasted like cabbage with gochujang and gochugaru with no other flavors. Had to season everything once we got home. Won't be back.

11/23/2023- Always lovesick for Korean food... Just wanted something quick to pick up and this was perfect.. Was navigating three orders from my phone , on their website..until... I got to the end- the form was in Korean to input credit card info.. I called and the worker was so helpful! She went ahead and took the order.. I was a little concerned because I wanted to make sure the food was hot.. I asked and she said some people don't pick up their orders when ready..not me.. Arrived and she was gathering the order.. Bags were full and hot.. Galbi ribs and jap char were delish! Son got the tofu soup and said it was good. Glad I stopped in!

If you want Korean food but don't want to wait, this is the perfect place to come to. Very quick service and the lunch plate was so cute and it came with A LOT of food. However I wasn't a fan of the Korean pancake and my chicken tasted a bit dry. I think it's worth it for the price still!
Good portions for the price but the food was just okay. We got the plates but couldn't finish them because we didn't feel great. My partner got the seaweed salad and that was probably the worst-tasting item between our plates. Overall 3 stars or less.

Writing this review for the gimbap I ordered. Was really excited to try this place as I love YD tofu house but was really disappointed by the gimbap. I would recommend trying their plates, bowls or other food. The rice ratio on each piece was super overwhelming and I noticed the pieces are a lot bigger than gimbaps I've ever gotten. The pieces don't seem to be very consistent in filling and overall wasn't made well. It comes with a spicy mayo sauce which is really interesting too. Also noticed that underneath the sauce two of my pieces was missing filling. :(( The staff was super nice and offered me water while I was waiting and they even allowed me to add in fish cake to my vegetable gimbap free of charge. Overall I would say do not over the gimbap it's 8 dollars, not really worth the price, and just not authentic. Come by to try their other menu items.

Food: 5/10 The food tasted okay. Doable, but some of the meat were dry. Popcorn Chicken (Chili sauce) was very chewy. Korean pancake was literally imitation crab fried T-T Croquette, pop stickers, and Braised Potatoes was REALLY GOOD! Also they provided Yakukt ! Packaging was very neatly organized! What we order: Plate 1 (Top) White Rice + Beef Bulgogi + Dumpling + Korean Salad + Korean Pancake Plate 1 (Middle) White Rice + Season Spicy Chicken + Popcorn Chicken (Chili Sauce) + Croquette + Yuchae Plate 1 (Bottom) Brown Rice + Friend Chicken + Jap Chea + Korean Pancake + Braised Potatoes Price: $$ ($16-20 a plate) Pretty average for going out to eat I'll give another try and update! Because maybe I just got unlucky since I order to go. And it looked like it been sitting there.

Give alot of food for the price, food tastes amazing, everything we got was great! Definitely will order here again!
