This was fairly good. I had the Bulgogi Dupbap. A nice saucy egg with rice. The guy there was also very enthusiastic and the food was nicely packed.

Beef was more chewy than gum, literally inedible. Salad was a couple pieces of lettuce and the japachae was flavorless.

Decent vegetarian options at a Korean take out place. I got the tofu lunch meal which came with 6 pieces of tofu (wow) in teriyaki sauce, white rice, picked radish, 2 deep fried dumplings, japchae and plain salad. I think it would be better if there was more banchan or kimchi. Overall decent. Haven't tried the other veg options but they also have bibimbap and ramen.

Favourite place, great service and great food. Recommend the soft tofu jjigae and mandu.

Visited on a Friday lunch time when the food court was pretty busy. I was soon served by efficient staff and went for the Korean pork ramen. There was only a little wait which was entirely acceptable as the business is very busy with take out and delivery orders. I was able to find a seat at the other end of the food court. There is a big serving with noodles and spring onion on top. There is a fried/scrambled egg with the ramen and the pork was a bit like bacon. The ramen was pretty good and the price was okay at $10.16. The menu is quite comprehensive so I'm tempted to try something else on the menu.

16 dollars for a meal is pretty expensive compared to the other stalls in the food court, also they’re one of the only stalls that ask for a tip 😅 The pork tastes pretty good (there is rice underneath) but the japchae is bland and the salad is just lettuce with barely enough dressing.

Today I decided to try this place out for the first time and I ordered the soft tofu jjgae with beef. The price came out to $13.55 before tip which is a decent price and a little cheaper than the Korean restaurant at another food court I usually go to that isn’t too far away from this one. The soup broth, rice, tofu, egg and veg were all decent but I received a very small amount of beef compared to what I usually get at other places. A total of 5 small scraps of beef.

On a more positive note, the customer service was decent and the wait time was fairly quick. If I knew I was going to receive only 5 scraps of beef with my soup, I would have rather spent my money somewhere else to be honest sorry guys.

I really love the pork bone soup here. It's hot and delicious. The meat falls off the bones, the soup is temperature hot and you can adjust the spiciness to be mild, hot or spicy. I chose mild and wasn't too spicy and I can't really handle spiciness. So this was perfect for me. Even when I just drank the soup. The pork bone soup is served with a bowl of rice which is perfect serving for the meal. The whole meal is pretty filling for me and lovelove this as I have been looking for pork bone soup everywhere but everywhere is wayyyy too spicy. The only thing is that the soup has no veggies and only meat. Would be nice to have some veggies in it. Well I do remember now there was a potato but it wasn't that good. The meal was a little overpriced but I mean everything costs so much these days.

My friend had the bulgolgi rice and she loved it too.

Will definitely be back in the winter for more pork bone soup.

Don't interpret the service and atmosphere scores as a markdown, there wasn't much server interaction and this is just a good court after all.
Having said that, the ramen noodles are essentially 10bucks for packaged instant noodles.. I suppose that's ok when all you've got to spend is 10bucks:)

Skip it if you can. Nothing like waiting 20 minutes for food that is barely passable as Korean. They need to either hire another person to help the kitchen at lunch and bring up the quality oof their food. Or just give up and garden for the rest of their lives. Running a fast food place is not their specialty, the name "fast" is important. I should have gone to the pub across the street and would have received faster service.
