Not a super huge selection, (which I like because I'm very indesicive) and amazing food nonetheless!!! The waiter is super cool and it seems like a really good restaurant/business to support! ? Definitely will be coming back again soon ☺?

Been trying "new" to me restaurants around town. Staff was super friendly in walking me through the options.Japchae is delicious! First time I have ever had something like this and will return again. It was a vegetarian dish and was great timing for it. Was light for the stomach with awesome flavor.Also, I appreciate their spin on Boba drinks. Great on a warm day.Will be back again!

The flavor (food) was different from what my companions & I are used to. The meat was tender & easy to eat. The meat had a similar taste as found in the cucumber/carrot salad bite that was on the plates.Kimchee fried rice flavor was different than others I have tried. I think I would eat it again. It had a good level of spice heat.Concerning price, I think it's higher than what I would expect from the experience.My preferred kimchee fried rice is from Young's Kitchen near the fairgrounds.

Quick order ahead service. Everything looked great and tasted so yummy. Bibimbap with extra picked veggies and peach boba tea.

Excellent. The menu will cover your want for flavor from skewers, to soups and my favorite- bowls. The chef (Ryko) has mastered the Bibimbap with a perfectly crafted sauce with just the right amount of sweet and spice and ingredients that taste fresh and flavorful! This Asian gem is a must try, with dishes that leave you feeling satisfied yet not weighed down, and flavors you cant wait to come back to. The chef displays his passion for food in each dish we have seen so far!Thank you!

I don't understand the reviews which convinced me to try Ryko's. Perhaps, the previous reviewers have not gone to Koriander's, just 2 blocks away. It's been a long time since I've had such mediocre Korean food. We ordered beef galbi (or kalbi, depending on restaurant) since Korean short ribs are a reliable favorite. The beef that we were served was not short-rib, merely FLAVORED in galbi sauce. We felt cheated. For the same price (or perhaps even slightly less) at Koriander's, we could have gotten real short ribs along with tempura, salad, japchae noodle and seasoned rice. Rather, at Riko's for that price, we only got 1/4 the amount of non-short-rib beef and 1/2 the amount of japchae noodles, and no other side dishes To cap off the mediocre meal (snack), our $5 boba drink was undrinkable. We threw it out after 3 sips. It's as though they poured cheap carbonated drink over improperly cooked boba, which had none of the chewiness expected of boba. The boba was doughy...And perhaps, I am spoiled to think boba drinks shouldn't be carbonated, which was not mentioned in their menu This was our first (and definite last) visit to Ryko's. While I truly want to support local business, overcharging for mediocre-terrible food is not something I'd recommend for any restaurant that would like to stay in business

Good vegetarian option. Staff very pleasant and courteous. Owner very friendly. The spices are their specialty. He takes great pride in making sure he is giving us the very best in quality. I loved the japanese noodles. It stands out as a good vegetarian place with the option for the meat lovers too.

Absolutely love this place! The employees are always so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is phenomenal!! I can never get enough of Rykos kimchi fried rice. Plus I'm a huge kpop fan so I love that they have kpop music/videos playing in the lobby! 10/10 :)

Some of the worst food I have ever had. The pork kalbi and spicy bulgogi was super dry and too charred to be considered edible. No idea how this place has 4.5 stars! I will never eat there again.

We stopped in for a quick bite before a basketball game on campus. I ordered a bibimbop bowl. Our order took forever but the server was very sweet and apologized because they were short staffed that night. It's the best Korean food I've had in town, even rivaling my favorite in Portland, which is why it gets a 5-star in spite of the wait. Chef gave us a free bowl of kimchi soup too (amazing!). Everything, especially sauces, tasted fresh and made from scratch. Please support them so they make it!
Amazing food! I don't say that lightly as Korean restaurants are a dime a dozen where I live. Really wish I could eat here all the time. Ryko is also wonderful, and a delight to talk with.

Super yummy place! There are vegetarian options available! The Japchae was sooooo darn good, their kimchi fried rice had fish sauce so I couldn't try it but my bf really liked it. The Boba freeze is a must order too!

The staff were very nice and had great customer service. It's the taste of the food and portion size I'm not a big fan of. I tried their kimchi fried rice, japchae, and a skewer, and another I dish I don't remember. I thought their portions were small for the price. The kimchi fried rice and japchae were decent, could be better in my opinion.
Laura W.
Figured I'd try the new place in town! Japchae was SO good. Also really enjoyed all the snacks you could take home from their little shop. Owner came out and talked to us and was really nice and obviously passionate about what he does. Really great place.
