This is one of the cutest places in Andersonville! I HIGHLY recommend getting the Ancient Brown Sugar Tea, it’s deliciously sweet and my only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a bigger size. The employees are very kind and welcoming.

Three hours ago I had a coconut curry sandwich to go. I want another one.

Really fresh

Just moved in to the neighborhood and stumpled upon this small restaurant in Andersonville. They offer a delightful fusion of Korean chicken sandwiches and Japanese rice bowls. The Chicken sandwiches boast perfectly crispy chicken with balance of savory and spicy flavors. The Japanese rice bowl with the pork served with tarter sauce created a great balance of tangy and tart flavors. The attention to detail when it comes to the food makes this place a must visit. It's not too big inside but was very clean and the warm friendly staff were great. I did love being able to order from a kiosk which made the process super easy. Will be back to taste more of the menu in the near future.

I've come here a few times with a friend, and it's always quite good! Boba, fried chicken options, and the like. Always has been worth it.

We had problems ordering for Christmas because the website said they were open, even though they weren't. So we decided to avoid the New Year's rush and ordered today! Everything was good and spicy, nearly overwrought with flavor! The T9 sampler was brilliant! Everything you need for a good snack for two people, minus drinks. The tokoyaki were good, the pork belly bao was a little bit plain. Next time we'll explore the rice bowls and the rest of the menu!

Light and crispy chicken tenders, very good bubble tea and the bibimbap ingredients are fresh. The food showed up quickly and (I believe) is prepped fresh when you order. A great spot in the neighborhood!

I came here with my girlfriend at the time because this place looked pretty inviting. We really liked the overall decor and ambiance and were intrigued by the menu. We ordered the 30 dollar T9 fried chicken combo. It took awhile for our food to come out, but figured it would be hot and fresh. Which it was. But I thought the chicken was just OK and my girlfriend (who lived in South Korea for a while) was not impressed whatsoever. I thought the sides were alright. But not worth 30 bucks.

If you're craving Korean chicken or Japanese bowls, consider ordering from Cuckoo. We tried their sweet and spicy chicken; it was juicy but didn't quite match our taste preferences.

Quirky and great! The stuffed animals on the tables are a bit weird, and clutter-averse me is not a super fan of those, but it fits the quirky-cute vibe.I had the beef bib bim bap bowl, and it was delicious. Savory and a lot of food! Price was a liiiiiittle high at $14, but I did get two meals out of it, so I'm calling that "not bad". My BF had the chicken sandwich, and he devoured that bad boy - with the provided plastic gloves to keep hands clean - which I thought was a nice touch.All in all, would be back - and the location across from Hopleaf practically guarantees that - clean, bright, fun, good food - yay!

Portions are fair. Teas are not too sweet. They give you plastic gloves for the wings so that's

The most unbelievably delicious chicken tenders. Light, crunchy exterior and moist chicken inside. With or without the sauces, they are the best.

I was hoping for a delicious meal and I was Very disappointed. The place was smelly at that smell was just awful. Sevice was nice and friendly and my food was ok. Chicken was fresh and hot, rice was not even warm and the veggies where so cold so the entire dish wasn’t to good. At least it’s not for me and now I know that.

This place is super cute and really clean inside! I ordered the beef bibim bowl and two drinks. I'm a fan of self ordering kiosks and this place has one.
