“Our son goes to UMBC & took him out to lunch last Saturday & we picked this Bonchon location. Was afraid the chicken would be meh but it was actually very good. We got an order or 8 mixed - half soy & half spicy. Got another 8 of spicy & some bulgogi fried rice. The wings were fried perfectly. I thought the spicy would be mild given this is a chain restaurant catering to 'Muricans but it was very spicy. Great flavor, but the spiciness builds. We really enjoyed both. Will try the other sauces next time. The fried rice was superb. Definitely recommend this place & we'll eat here again in the future when we take our son out for lunch.“

“Great service, and a nice cafe. I thought the food was good, but maybe wouldn't recommend the burrito as a first choice. It wasn't bad, and certainly was huge, but I don't know. It was missing something. Maybe cilantro, onions, garlic? It was spicy, but a little “
“Fabulous. Went here based on others reviews and boy oh boy I certainly was not disappointed. Probably one of the best Korean restaurants I have been to-- great ambience along with top notch service and spectacular food! Looking forward to returning to try out other dishes!“
“This spot's noodles were highly touted and rightfully so. These are among the best noodles I've had in my life.I've been three times and the noodles are consistently the highlight. On one occasion my proteins were dry which is why it's "only" four stars but it's looking like that was an isolated incident.The service was exceptional. The lady at the counter and her little girl were adorable together as they took my order. I don't know if it's a ploy to get a bigger tip out of me but it worked.I'd highly recommend visiting Kokoyami when you're in the Windsor Mill/ Catonsville area.“
“Everyone in our group liked the food here. I had pork with squid and it was cooked well and tasty. Will definitely come again. Server was attentive. There is no "atmosphere" there except a quiet place to enjoy your food with family and friends.“
“We were the only customers when we went on a Tuesday about 7. But the owners were wonderful at helping us with their recommendations on the menu. We settled on a few sushi rolls and bulgogi with Tera beers all around. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was definitely a top cut of beef in a spectacular sauce. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Please patronize this place.“
“If you want to run a meat restaurant, this is the place you should visit even if you study abroad.For dinner on the weekend, I ate brisket, raw ribs, seasoned ribs, raw meat, and grilled dumplings.It was an amazing experience that relieved all the stress I had been experiencing at the restaurant. I had no choice but to give it a very high score in all aspects, including the neat bottom dish, good quality and large amount of meat, friendly and prompt hospitality, and cleanliness. Especially when it comes to food, this is a great restaurant that captures both the visuals that young people like and the taste that older people like.In some ways, you may think there is nothing special, but I think finding a flawless home may be more difficult in the United States. If you look at the reason why there are no flaws, it is because the performance exceeds expectations in all aspects. Everything a meat restaurant should do, they already do it well here.“
“"My inaugural visit to Kpot BBQ in Laurel was delightful. The food was superb, especially their hot soups and seafood offerings. The unlimited chicken fry and French fries were a standout feature. The staff's friendliness and top-notch service added to the overall positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"“
“The location itself is pretty easy to find.plenty of parking spaces.Management and the team are very awesome and welcoming! Food is amazing. The kimchi stew, grilled pork belly, and ramen noodle snacks ( what we call it ) is our favorite. Service is efficient as well! Clean and chills! They also have karaoke rooms!Love this place!“
“Don't let the outside appearance of this place discourage you from coming in. It is hidden from the main road so you won't be able to see it when driving. But you will never regret it. The food is delicious, and the inside atmosphere is nice and clean. Give it a try and see for yourself.I ordered the j4 beef vegetable, and I enjoyed it very much, especially on that cold day where you can still see traces of snow left from last night. My partner ordered the hotpot bibimbap, and she was a little disappointed about it being a little bit dry on the palette, but once she added a little soysouce, she said it was better. The bibimbap tasted yummy even without the soy sauce. It was just a little dry. I still recommend you check them out and try different things on their menu. They also offer shaved ice, which I will try when I come back. Maybe during summer.“
“While there is not much competition for kimbap in Ellicott City, Kom Bob Na Ra is unrivaled in terms of quality, price, and service. The kimbap is excellent and is hearty enough for a meal. The restaurant itself is quaint, lively, and unpretentious. Highly recommended!“

“I came here for the first time today (1 Apr 2024). The restaurant is well lit and very clean. The cashier was nice and explained the questions I had regarding the menu.I received my order in about 10 minutes after i sat down which I think is pretty quick. I ordered 1/2 chicken with curry flavor, curry snow onion tenders, curly fries, rice, and two milkshakes (reese’s and oreo).The chicken was hot, juicy,and tasted fresh. The curry flavor was really tasty, the curry has some spice to it but I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit spicier. The curly fries were good and taste seasoned. The portion sizes are big and you get your moneys worth; each entree came with pickled radish as well.The milkshakes weren’t too thick too drink and taste like what you’d expect. I did find bits of cookie and chocolate in the respective flavors so thats a plus.Overall I really enjoyed everything and I will be back to try more flavors.Parking: CM Chicken is in a shopping center. There is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: CM Chicken is located in a shopping center. There is handicapped parking close to the restaurant and the tables can easily be configured to accommodate customers in wheelchairs.“
“The best thing we had here was the Combination Seafood Jhim. Very good variety of seafood and enormous portion. The leftovers were good for numerous meals afterwards. Great variety of banchan as well. The BBQ was very good and I enjoyed the different sauces they had, but I would say it was about on par with the Korean BBQ around where we live in MoCo. Same with the Japchae, although I will say the meat portion was noticeably better here.The only negative here was the service wasn't perfect. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening and the waitresses were working very hard. They mostly took care of us very well but there was an order of water that never came, as well as a refill of banchan that never came. This was not the end of the world as we had the complimentary tea and the other food was more than enough, but this at least will make me reconsider coming back during peak times.Overall, I would recommend this place and the Combination Seafood Jhim was worth the drive from MoCo.“
“I live near Catonsville where there is a large Korean influence shopping area. I have tried many of the Korean dishes but I drive over 40 miles to Anne Arundel county to get the best. And I make the drive frequently. Every effort is made by the staff to know everyone personally. Good service, great food...authentic.The BEST Kimchi!“
“I had heard there was Korean food near base, but never been. Decided to try it for lunch today. Glad I did! It's a small place, but clean with space to dine-in. The man taking my order was nice and the food didn't take long to make. I got it to-go. The spicy pork bulgogi was delicious! They give you a lot of food too. I'm absolutely stuffed. I will definitely be going back again.“

“We were searching for a late dinner place on a Friday night and saw this new Korean BBQ soft opening and decided to try it. We were so delighted with the food, the service and the kindness they showed us even though it was already late and almost closing time! Our waiter, Chris, was very kind and attentive to our table and continued to offer more Banchans whenever we would eat up any of those delicious side dishes. We ordered the combination which already included beef and pork cuts, so we got to taste both meats. One very unique and new for us in a Korean BBQ place is the green sauce. Whatever it is, it was delicious, a little spicy but very good. Chris also offered to bring us the traditional sesame oil sauce which is a must! He also offered more lettuce every time we would eat up the bunch. I really appreciate that they did not even rush us, even though it was very late. Definitely going to be one of my new favorite places for a family dinner! I do have one suggestion to the management: change the cut of the pork belly into thinner slices. Pork needs to be cook more well done than beef, especially pork belly. The thick slices take too long to cook on the inside. Anyways, we are definitely coming back here!“
“Just want local folks of Ellicott City to know that Niko’s is open for carryout/takeout. We celebrated my birthday by getting sushi and meals from Nikos. As usual their sushi is fantastic with an outstanding what I call fish to rice ratio. Please support your local restaurants. Thank you“
“Came here because we were shopping at hmart and the soondubu place was closed! I've never had Korean Chinese before. Sizzling rice soup was very thick with cornstarch, veggies, seafood and poured into a giant hot stone pot. The squid was tasty-sweet and spicy. The waitress was super sweet, nice and attentive. We asked to take our leftover kimchi and she brought more for us to bring home!“
“I cannot emphasize enough how delicious the food is here. It is simply amazing! My favorite item to get is the beef bulgogi bibimbap. All the flavors are so fresh and everything is out of this world. I can't wait to come back and try everything else they have to offer. The owner is also so nice and courteous and I love how friendly they are. Highly recommend the food here! The chicken and beef here are also halal.Dietary restrictions: Food is halal“
“Not sure why this place isn't more highly rated, but I accidentally discovered this place when looking for a Korean restaurant that has a great banchan lineup. Went in for BBQ - will try their regular menu next time - and was not disappointed. The banchan were really great, and refills came quickly. Service was excellent, the server made sure each meat dish was cooked to perfection and did not push me to finish the meat quickly so she can cook the next one - most other Korean BBQ places will put them on a dish and let them get cold before I can finish it, which sucks. The only thing I would say about this very clean restaurant is that it's a little small so if there are a lot of people you may need to wait. Highly recommend anyone in the area to try this place out.“
“I would be remiss if I didn't shout out Isaac for his exceptional service as our waiter. He was attentive, kind, polite, and, most importantly, had a fantastic attitude. As money gets tighter for some folks and folks become more mindful of where they spend it, customer service will shine through. Isaac is the kind of guy you would tip 10K to like in those news stories. Myself and my party were traveling through and won't be back anytime soon, but we would highly recommend this place solely because our dining experience included Isaac.“
“One of our favorites - easy access to a huge variety of korean and fusion classics. I've never had anything bad from hereWheelchair accessibility: Ramp available, but would not the most easy to navigate in a bulky chair or with assistive devices due to tightly packed tables and counter service ordering“
“One of my favorite Korean pub-style eateries in Ellicott City! The street food selections and bites make it easy to have a gathering with friends and family and eat and drink.I highly recommend the fried chicken, cheese corn, and bossam there ? there’s also a great selection of rice balls and other dishes as well.We went on a weekday evening so there was no wait for our party of 4 to be seated and served, and the waiter was very nice to our whole party! I’ve been back a free times already and would be happy to come back again with more friends!“

“This is one of my go-to’s when it comes to chicken wings. The wings are crispy yet saucy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Definitely recommend getting the gangum style wings. Waiting for the food is a lil long, but the wait is worth it. The service is pretty good, but it’s typically only 1 or 2 servers that also double as the bar tenders so it can get somewhat hectic for them.Parking: Plenty of parking, also pretty big parking spots perfect for truck owners“

“Everything was super clean. They had a really large selection of items which where served buffet style with tons of side dishes all where great. Meats were brought out by the waiter.Service was fantastic and everything was great. Cant complain much about eating here definetly better than the rest in the area. I will be going back. The snow crab legs were really good and worth getting at no additional cost.Pricing $35 dollars for either hotpot or kbbq. $40 for both kbbq and hotpot but the entire table must get both if you choose both. $16.99 for lunch.“
“I am a regular customer here, but I am very honest and give honest reviews. The food here is good, and even excellent depending on what you order. They also have 3 karaoke rooms in which I usually do and eat my dinner ?The prices I think for the food are a bit steep, but if split between 2 or more people it is reasonable. You also get a lot of food and I usually have enough for a couple of meals. I think this is a wonderful place to go and have some drinks and food with friends!“
“This place is located inside the food court of Lotte Plaza. One of the items I get most often is the gamjahtang. It is a hearty soup made with neck bones and potatoes I believe. This time I did carry out. It wasn't as good as I remembered but to be honest, it's been awhile and I forgot how I liked it. I usually eat it there and it comes out piping hot and then I add additional seasoning mixture of coarse salt and Korean pepper flakes. That was my mistake. Now I need to order again just to experience it as I remember liking it.“
“After reading some of the reviews, I called in to place my order ahead of time. Young lady was friendly, read order back, gave time estimate & total. Once I arrived I only had to wait maybe 5 minutes so that was good. I ordered secret sauce wings (half order ) & fries. They give you a lot of fries, which were hot & had good seasoning. Chicken wings were hot, crispy & had good flavoring. Overall little pricey but what isn't these days, I will definitely return.“
“K-Manna is everything that I miss about Maryland and a reason that I'm moving back to the Columbia area in order to educate at Lincoln Technical College across the street from this gem of a restaurant.I ate here a few Weeks ago while enrolling at Lincoln Technical College and could not have enjoyed the pleasant Lunch more.The Robot Waiter is the sweetest thing that really brought a smile to my face while eating my Lunch and the Staff is just as nice and pleasant every time that I eat here.The food is incredible and I can't say enough about the Bulgogi or Bibimbap.The atmosphere is enough for Me to keep coming back but the food combined with the nice Staff and great service really just put it over the top.I hope that You stay in Columbia forever. We need more great places with tons of heart like this one.“
