This place has a great stone pot! Get the bulgogi one. It's delicious and worth the wait. Nothing like the hot pot coming out and the crisp rice on the bottom of the plate. Mix in the sauce for extra flavor. Easily can share with two. Delicious!

If I could give negative stars, this please would get -837858 stars. For $20, I got 5 pieces of tasteless bulgogi and rotten cabbage. Not to mention it took over 30 minutes to prepare--I guess cabbage takes a while to cook. Should've gone with my instincts when NO ONE was going to this place in a busy food court. And if the owners are reading this, shame on you for making horrible food and charging restaurant prices for it.

Don't ever order food or eat from this place, the owner is so rude. I asked for extra spoon for soup to share, he doesn't wanna give me one. I said why? we order two soups! Customer's right. He said NO, spoon is so expensive and he even came to our table and started yack yacking in front of our food that I have to cover my food. I was about to call the cop on him cause he's yelling, saying plastic spoon is so expensive.OMG!!! He's so rude, so ridiculous for one plastic spoon.??? I don't know what planet did he come from.???

I have seen this place several times and wanted to check it out. Just happened to be getting stuff from the market and I was pretty hungry. I thought things had worked out great. Unfortunately, this was a huge mistake. I spent about a month in South Korea for business and I've eaten at many Korean places in the states. This was by far the worst. Customer service was not that great and the price was not worth the food at all. I got the Bulgogi stone pot and a water. $22 bucks wasted. The food was ready reasonably fast. But then I asked about the spice level. The guy said it had no spice and that the order comes with a thing of Korean hot sauce to 'make it spicy yourself.' Very strange that the dish isn't spicy already, since Bulgogi translates into fire meat. I sit down to eat and notice the fried egg is basically raw on top. Not over easy type raw. I mean the bottom of the egg was cooked and the top was see through like it was just cracked. The pot was super hot. So I mixed everything around to cooked the egg myself. I also thought that the egg was at least covering more meat. Nope. Basically a pinch of not marinated pork meat with some veggies on top of a bunch of rice. Even the hot sauce couldn't add flavor to that. I almost left the food but I was starving so I ate about half. Safe to say, I won't be back. I had some other stuff to do, so I should have just waited until I got to Miramesa Blvd. The Bulgogi at Sue's Korean Kitchen is outstanding. My mistake for not having the patience to wait. Trust me, it won't happen again.

I wasn't sure if they really did not have enough ingredients or if the woman just didn't want to serve me. I didn't get a welcoming feeling from the woman at the register. I had wanted to order a couple of different items and she kept telling me no. The only thing I was allowed to order were the original chicken wings. I was running errands and hadn't eaten much all day so I just went with that. I felt like I was bothering her because she was very short with me. I did hear the TV next to the register so I may have interrupted her show.

Not much else to choose from in this food court at Zion market. 4 restaurants gone. Unfriendly woman taking orders, we're out of what I wanted. Got the Bulgogi and chicken wings. Both were mediocre at best but what really was disappointing was the portion size. Was like a kids meal at exhorbitant prices. The beef was sixteen and the wings were 25 for 6. I will never go back. The food court a H mart is so, so, much better.

The lady was rude beyond imagination. I was waiting for my takeout and she set a bag down on the table in front of me without saying a single word, then immediately turned away. I had to ask if that was my order, she nodded without even turning around. If you hate people, go find a different job.

I don't know what's up with the hate on this place but I thought it was super yum! I got the baby octopus stone pot and it came out HOT and SIZZLING!How hot and sizzling? About 5 minutes in, I walked over to grab a bottle of water and came back to it happily sizzling away.The couple who were working were super nice and asked how me and my daughter in law were enjoying the meal (to which we gave an enthusiastic thumbs up)Seriously there's a few places to pick from in the Zion Market food hall, but this one's easily a fave!

After shopping at Zion, I was getting hungry and decided to head over to the food court area. There was about six spots you can choose to order food from. After reviewing the menu at the other places, I decided to order from Road To Seoul. At this moment, most of the places were preparing to close for the night and it was around 1900 (7pm). I got my order in. I had ordered the 6 piece spicy wings, Tebboki and pork tofu stew. I ordered to go. The gentlemen that took my order was nice. The Tebboki was the pretty good, it had a good sauce ratio. At first glance I thought I wouldn't like it but don't let the looks fool you. Lol. It came with fish cakes on top. My only complaint is the portion, it's pretty small for the price of $15.99. The rice cake was super soft, not hard and it was perfect! I would order this again. The spicy chicken wing came with a side of dressing and cabbage salad. I enjoyed the wings, it had great flavor although not spicy. The wings was cooked perfect. Pricing at $12.99. The tofu stew, I choose pork as the protein. There was barely any pork pieces in there, maybe four small pieces but lots of tofu. The Napa cabbage pieces were brown, I ate around it. The soup itself had no flavor, I had to put some sauces in it to make it taste better. I would rate the pork tofu soup a 2 out of 10. Overall, the other dishes were good. I would come back for other dishes.

I should’ve known better from the reviews. There was another place here that was a lot better but it closed. I ordered the tofu with beef. There was very little beef. Looks like they have cut back tremendously and it shows. I do not recommend this place. Avoid it as a owner. Looks like they are skimming the food and charging high dollar. I paid $20.

The beef dolsot (stone pot) bibimbap was delicious! It came out sizzling with a bunch of fresh veggies, some beef bulgogi, and a sunny-side up egg on top. The crispy rice on the bottom was perfect and all the banchan on the side were a nice tasty complement. It’s pretty rare getting a dolsot as big as the one this place gives!The man serving me was sweet and gave us some extra gochujang sauce when we asked for it.

Bad rice. Maybe the worst rice ever from Korean restaurant. Expensive. Unfriendly lady taking order. Decent kimchi, but everything else was bad.

I was craving tofu soup really badly but I wouldn't say this satisfied my craving. I was expecting a bit more spice and a bit more flavor. I added beef into mine but I think it was a bit skimpy on the beef. The overall portion size was good though especially for the price. If the taste was a little better than I would say it was worth the price. When it came to the kimchi, personally I really liked it. It was a bit on the salty end but personally I enjoyed it a lot. I kind of wish I had more. Seating was not an issue at all since it is in the Zion Market foodcourt. You shouldn't have to worry about finding a seat. Parking as well, the lot is huge so that's not a worry. Customer service was great. Staff was really friendly and helped me decide what I wanted. I wouldn't actively go back for the tofu soup but I'm willing to try other things on their menu.

Ordered through Doordash. They waited an hour to let me know they couldn't fulfill my order. Wasted my time. I had to order from somewhere else. Bad business practice

So I've ordered from here twice and will NEVER order from here again. I wanted to give them a second chance after the first time I ordered the stone hot pot soup which I asked that it be made NOT spicy. Somehow they didn't get the memo and it came out fiery hot. My Korean mother even commented how hot it was and she's in her 80's and lived in Korea for 30 years and knows spicy. So I came back here again and asked them to please make it NOT spicy but did they listen? No. So disappointed. Fiery hot soup AND this place ain't cheap. I went back to complain and when I told the older guy at the register that I asked for "not spicy" he said "I told you it was spicy" and I said, "no. You didn't". I should have read the reviews beforehand. Next time I'll go to "Gala Chicken" next door or to one of the other places. Wahhhh!!!!
