It’s a takeout spot that happens to have some outdoor seating - but they don’t come out to give you the dish and they take a while to clean their trash so pretty much expect to self-serve all the way. The handsome combo with all the meats is a good way to try everything although the truth is that the galbi is the star of the meal. I’d just do that the next time I’m there!

Perfect lunch spot on a rainy day. Bulgogi with jeyuk combo. Meats are both comforting and nicely seasoned. Sides are refreshing and balanced.Picky up was easy and quick. Food was ready before I got there.

We ordered the grilled organic tofu salad, tomato bacon burger w/ regular fries & kimchi aioli, kimchi arancini (4 pieces), and spinach & kale handmade dumplings (5 pieces). Plenty for two people. Total was $47.20 (w/ taxes and tips).All items ordered were wonderful. The kimchi arancini and spinach & kale handmade dumplings were nice and crispy with great fillings. The dipping sauces were great compliments with the appetizers and rest of the food. The grilled organic tofu salad and tomato bacon burger were fantastic too.I will be coming back here again!

Burgers were good! The meat was pretty good and I like how it had a Korean bbq flavor to it. Only complaint is I wish the burgers were bigger. It was a bit overpriced for tiny burgers to be around 6-7 dollars. Fries were meh. Got the truffle fries but it was just regular fries with truffle sauce which was okay.

I stopped by this place on the way home from work and was pleasantly surprised. The workers are kind and efficient. The food is wonderful! I'll be back the next time I'm in that part of town.

I could see a place like this that specializes in Korean lunch boxes thriving in a more office dense location than on the residential block its on, but it has been open long enough to prove their formula works. Lunch is priced reasonably at $12-$16 for most boxes, and comes with a protein, rice, salad, and a side. There are a couple of vegetarian options, but many more if you're an omnivore. I wish they offered seafood options, and I wish the portions were more generous. I prefer a place like KOBA a few blocks away on 31st and Park, which offers much more generous meals at the same price point.

I've eaten here many times, including during peak COVID and it's delicious! The price can be a bit high relative to the portion, but the quality is great. Their galbi is delicious and juicy. I also like their kimchi Mac and cheese...I just keep wishing the portion was bigger! This place has great takeaway options and they're always friendly and nice!

I was excited to try Handsome Rice because of the stellar reviews, but I was a litle disappointed. This is a small grab and go spot that has a variety of Korean and fusion dishes. I went with the "Handsome Rice," which is the meat lover box that comes with Galbi, Bulgogi, and Chicken, with a side of rice and pickles. The portion unfortunately was pretty small. I finished the whole thing and still could eat more. At $20 per plate, I think the portion should definitely have been bigger! The meat itself was tasty, but I felt like the marinade was a bit too sweet. I probably won't be back unfortunately because the price is just too high for the portion you get.

I ordered a small catering package from Handsom Rice and my whole experience was flawless. Firstly the food tasted excellent, so delicious. It was neat and perfectly packed when it was collected and they were even flexible with the pick up time when I requested an earlier pick up. Lovely people to work with & I will be back & also recommend to anyone!
