“Before dining: I would suggest don't go during the weekend because we have been waiting for 2 1/2 hours. We've been told it'll be "another 20-30 mins" but ended up being another hour. Super busy especially during dinner time. If dining during the weekends, I suggest to go earlier like an hour if you have an appointment with someone. I'd also suggest to call and ask how's the waiting line. I wish there was a way to join the waiting line online that way it'll be an easier in and out situation than waiting in the car/inside for so long. During: The food was decent. It was flavorful. They have a sauce bar, side dishes, and a couple of desserts. The robot will be bringing the food to you. We got our grill change like 4-5 times which was pretty neat. The Tom Yum broth is spicy and pretty good. After: The pricing for AYCE KBBQ + Hot Pot for 5 people was $210, which wasn't terrible. Will have to pay + tip before getting seated.“
“Fantastic Korean and Korean fusion - so many fun combos of crunchy/spicy/tangy/umami/sweet. Everyone in our group loved what they ordered and can't wait to come back. The drink menu was also fun! Ambience is a K-pop party. We did get there right at 5:30 and there was a bit of a line, but we were seated right away.“
“Such a cozy cute place! It feels like eating in my grandma’s house, with phenomenal food! You can tell the ingredients are too notch and the flavors are so fresh and on point. The owners are also so sweet and lovely. Best Korean food on the twin cities hands down.Vegetarian options: Dedicated vegetarian section with multiple options noodle tofu rice veggie varieties“
“So yummy! The dough is light and fluffy like a doughnut! The staff are awesome and attentive to your needs. My favorite is mozzarella & hot dog with sugar and jalapeño ranch! Would love to see them at the MN State Fair!! Perfect for lunch, dinner or late night “
“The venue is cramped but their food is very authentic and spicy! Newcomers to Korean cuisine, beware: heed their warnings about spice levels. “Very Spicy” and “Very Very Spicy” have put me in tears. But tasty. Try the stew with beef + octopodes; seafood; everything else on their menu is delicious too.“
“We ordered the Teokboki, KunMandoo, Chajangmyun, and Gal Bee! The Teokboki was incredibly soft and great level of spiciness. The Gal was thicker cut than ive ever had it in any other restaurant and was so tender! The kimchi was so crunchy and not too spicy! 10/10 experience and the staff was so nice! Really funny too!“
“I’m super glad to see a positive local business take this spot in Dinkytown. In an area with a lot of Asian restaurants, this Korean establishment has delicious street food snacks and full meal dishes. They are still creating new menu items and the staff is always friendly!“
“never fails with this location! Food is always fire, but tonight I came fore drinks and some homeless person came in and took my drink. Although it seemed pretty funny to me and wasn't too pressed about it, the staffed noticed and took care of me. Service is on point ?“
“Brother, let me tell you that THIS is how to do Karaoke right here. Spicy rice cakes, bulgogi, and a private room to absolutely belt out some songs with great friends. You gotta come here and try it out if you have not yet. Don’t settle for dive bar karaoke !“
“Wife and I had the chance to dine here, in the malcolm yards, today. I'll be willing to go on a limb, and say their fried chicken Sammy, is better than revivals. The char sui, jasmine rice ( just trust me on this) and the kimchi slaw were all on point. However, the most pleasant surprise I had, was how well the sliced chili's and fried leeks went with the french fries. definitely will be returning soon to give the cauliflower, and sesame fried chicken a whirl.“

“Me and my friends got to experience the korean BBQ for the first time and it was amazing!!!! The food was fantastic, the service was exceptional, they checked in with us often and ensured we had everything we needed multiple times!!!! I highly recommend visiting!!!!“
“Had a classic? over lunch and it was pretty tasty! Got an unexpected call from Emily the owner. She expressed how sorry she was for how long the order took, due to unforseen circumstance. She did not have to make that phone call, but it spoke volumes about her integrity and dedication to service! Please check this place out!“
“Incredible food and service. We have eaten here regularly and highly recommend their Kim Bop, kimchi rice, Golgabi (mackerel with red pepper sauce), Japchae and Haemul-pajeon (seafood pancake). Honestly, anything here won't go wrong. Their variety of soups such as Sundubu Jigae (spicy tofu soup) or soup with green onions and oxtail if you are not into spicy food. Service is prompt and courteous and they know us so well that they adapt our specifications without asking and always bring us hot tea (green and ginseng are great.)“
“Probably the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to as a vegetarian. Firstly, 5+ stars for the staff for their amazing service. They were very understanding about our requirements and suggested about 5/6 dishes that do not have any meat or fish oil etc. Then comes the food, 5++ for the great great super tasty food. Fried mandu - super tasty vegetarian dumplings with soy sauce??????. Duk mandu guk was just hands down amazing and soulful! So good that we will think of the taste for a while. The spicy tofu jorim was spicy, saucy, and even looks amazing (our non-vegetarian friends ended up choosing this as well). The portions a huge so I would definitely order down if your not interested in eating the left overs for the next day. I will definitely visit this place everytime I am in MN.“
“What a fun, unique, authentic, and freaking delicious find!We were in the area and I'm glad we were.Very authentic, quick, and great service.You are served traditional dishes to share, which confused us (its not noted anywhere and unless you know... you have no idea). Thanks to Google, we figured it out.. but not what they were haha.Everything was awesome. The Tang-Su-Yuk was fried nice and crispy and the sauce was bright and fresh. The Kan-Pun-Gi was a perfect spice and and flavor.It iis on the pricier side, which im mot a fan of, but 100% recommend stopping here!“
“The experience at this restaurant was nothing short of amazing. We had never had Korean food and they were helpful with recommendations. After a long time deciding, we had the kimbap, bulgogi, and gal bi. All of them were delicious and so flavorful. They gave us sides of daikon radish, kimchi, and cucumber salad and even gave us more when we had ran out.I will be coming back again! The service was phenomenal and I'm excited to try something new next time!“
“Just tried this place today and was really happy with the selection. It seemed like such a small store on the outside but they certainly use their space well. Didn't expect to find this much buldak ramen hehI had two small gripes and that's that some items weren't priced and the carts don't fit down the isles so well. I would suggest using a basket if you can.Overall, great place, I'm sure I'll be back“
“Got food delivered to work. They have generous portions. I ordered the Fried Rice with Bulgogi (beef)Price is decent, $11.95 for just the rice and up charge for meat.Flavor is good, not to salty. A little on the oily side but overall pretty tasty. I recommend a try. They got a decent variety.“
“Tried out this place last Sunday for dinner. There was a large group of about 6 people that were ordering from the kiosk when we got there so we ordered takeout from the workers. Both of the workers were friendly and polite. After we ordered they had a steady stream of customers coming in so weekdays may be a better bet to try them out if you don't want to wait as long. It took about 25 minutes for our order.We got 16 each of the honey garlic, original spicy, and gangnam style wings. We also ordered the kimchi fried rice and rose ddeok-bokki. We made it all the way back to Woodbury and the wings were still super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! My favorite were the honey garlic, they are more sweet than savory. The gangnam style was the most sauced and it was savory and tangy. The rest of my family raved about the original spicy which was more of a dry seasoning. The wings were good sized wings too! Of the other two dishes we got, I enjoyed the rose ddeok-bokki the most. It was very creamy and more mild in flavor than other ddeok-bokki I've tried before. Can't wait to try them again the next time we are in the area!“
“Thouroughly enjoyed an anniversary dinner with my wife on Sunday 12/17. It was a unique experience, the food was great, the prices were fair, and the service was superb. It was a fun food adventure for both of us, and we are already planning our next visit.“
“I love a good Korean meal! I love the 1/2 & 1/2 chicken wings: spicy good or garlicky good. I always recommend the doltsot Bibimbop (in the HOT stone bowl) so you can enjoy some toasted rice at the bottom of the stone bowl! 1 star taken off since they charge for banchon (the side dishes that usually accompany a good Korean bowl!) and it’s a little pricey for no kimchi or radish“
