Absolutely fantastic! We ordered through Grubhub and were blown away with the amazing flavors! The Boa bun is one of my favorites!

I paid $13 for what is, in my opinion, unmistakably tyson breast tenders tossed in a watered down gochujang. My girlfriend got the Bibimbap and it was next to flavorless. Staff were nice and pleasant, the food was just extremely disappointing for how much we paid. The only good part of the meal was the k-dog.

I tried the honey soy chicken bowl and the cherry cream soda. The honey soy chicken bowl was not good at all, the chicken tasted cheap and the flavor wasn’t great. The soda was also just okay for the price. The service was good, I was just sadly disappointed with the food quality especially for spending 20 on a chicken entree and drink

The corn dogs are great. But I have a suggestion: break from tradition and wrap the dog in cheese instead of doing half cheese then half a dog. It's just uneven and overwhelming to have a solid block of cheese at the start and 0 cheese to finish.

Fantastic food, hot, fresh, and flavorful, just like korean food should be. Also the brisket bulgogi is a great intro to korean food that even the most red blooded American couldn’t help but like. Will absolutely be back again.

It was such a treat to finally enjoy real Korean food again, especially while staying in Missouri for work. The food court was clean and spacious, with plenty of parking — definitely a plus.
I ordered the Jalapeños Pork Belly and the Spicy Seafood Ramen Noodle Soup, and both dishes were absolutely delicious and well-balanced. The pork belly had no gamey smell at all, and the soy sauce based flavor instantly reminded me of Korean jokbal. It was tender, flavorful, and just hit the spot.
The spicy seafood ramen was loaded with seafood, veggies, and kimchi, making it taste like a lighter, cleaner version of Korean-style jjamppong. As a Korean, it wasn’t too spicy for me — but it definitely had that authentic flavor I’ve been missing. Honestly, it felt more like real Korean food compared to many other places in Springfield.
Highly recommend if you’re craving something truly Korean!

This place was amazing and it was my first time really trying something Korean and for it being a first time it was amazing especially their Korean plum cherry cream soda.

The service here was great! However the food wasn’t the best. I’m part Korean, and what they call bulgogi was more like a subpar teriyaki. Also, the egg rolls sound good in the theory, but neither the seaweed or chicken seemed salted.
I would love to come back if the flavors improved because the ideas are good, but the execution is off 😢

The food was so yummy. There were so many selection in the food court too! I ordered 3 munchies & 1 main dish. They were perfect for my tastebud. I'm so happy there's korean food in Nixa!
I ordered Pork Belly Bao Buns, Cheesy Kimchi Pancakes, Deep Fried Calamaris, and Shrimp Citron! Oh, and 2 drinks - Milk Foam Thai Tea & Purple Yuju Lemon 🍤
Pork Belly Bao Buns ($9) comes with 2 Buns. Super delicious, Pork belly was tender and drunked with their house gochu sauce! ⭐️ 10/10
Cheesy Kimchi Pancake ($9) yummy and very cheesy flavoring. Not as crispy or as big as I'm used to, usually korean grandma's would give you a BIG pancake filled, thick, and crispy! Garlic sauce was SUPERB to dip in! ⭐️ 6.5/10
Deep Fried Calamari ($9) was also very yummy, lightly battered, lightly seasoned, not salty at all but if you want it more salty, you can add salt. The dipping sauce that came with it was superb. Make sure to eat it's fresh hot to get the best experiences of the crunch! ⭐️ 8/10
Shrimp Citron ($15) SUPREME flavor. It was so satisfying to my pallette. The crunch from the deep fried shrimp, the seasons, the dressing, over rice and spring mix. It was so good. Shrimps were big and good textures! ⭐️ 10+/10
Milk Foam Thai Tea was very good. Well made. I can say this is THAI TEA, not watered down, very rich. ⭐️ 10/10
Purple Yuzu Lemon - Very pretty to look at and taste just as good! Taste like Lemonade! Comes with the yuju lemon chunks so make sure you're okay with that in your drinks! I like it with the chunks and then I didn't either! ⭐️ 9/10
Overall experiences was good! Highly recommended and would come back :)

The Gochu has easily become my new favorite crave. It’s a top spot at 14 Mill. I love the L Fried Chicken and the Bibimbap. Keep up the good work

Food was awesome. I got the brisket bulgogi with extra rice and will have left overs tonight! The gentleman that took my coworker and I order was kind enough to give us some amazing hot tea for the cold day. Would highly recommend this place!

The Brisket Bowl had thinly sliced beef, but it was dry. The rice that came with it was dry too. I tried my friend's K-Fried Chicken bowl, which was a lot tastier. It came with cabbage salad, which made it feel healthier, though fried chicken isn’t really a healthy dish. What I really liked was the Calamari and the aioli sauce it came with. I’m not sure if it’s made in-house, but it was tender, and the batter was perfect. It was also nice that they had free sauces available at the counter. It’s not the restaurant’s fault, but we went during one of the trivia nights, and there was no seating.

The service is adequate and up to par with general expectations. The atmosphere is what you expect in a food court, There’s lots of activity and movement. The food however, was fantastic. I had a chicken entree that have fresh spinach and rice and it was amazing. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.
