So good and so authentic Korean food. Price is well worth it and the owner gets you your food fast. Highly recommend for anyone stationed there.

I lived in Japan and South Korea and let me tell you the food hits the spot! Infront of the Ellsworth AFB. She’s open Monday to Saturday from 11am-2pm for lunch and then 4pm-8pm for dinner! We ordered chiefly teriyaki and bimbibop

We have driven by Kang San numerous times, so we finally decided to try it. The food was amazing, it’s a very small restaurant, we were the only one’s there so service was very quick. Only issue was we went on a very hot day and there was no air conditioning or if there was it was very minimal so it was uncomfortably hot in there. My husband and son got the beef stir fry with noodles and my daughter got chicken stir fry with noodles. I ordered the Sesame Chicken Lunch box (came with a side salad and rice) this was absolutely amazing! The breading on the chicken was crunchy and had an amazing flavor. My husband said he’s getting that when we go back. We also tried fried and steamed potatoes stickers, shrimp tempura, cabbage and cucumber kimchee. The proportions are VERY large especially for the price. We have been craving it and wanting to go back, just going to wait until the temperature cools down a little.

HORRIBLE! When my husband and I parked, we got out the car and as we’re walking up to the door the lady is smoking a cigarette and ask us if we are to go or to dine in. We proceed to pick a table and within a couple minutes a lady in sunglasses asks us if we’re ready to order and we said no. 5 minutes roll by and she came back again, this time I had a question pertaining to the difference amongst two dishes… she had no idea, gave little to no direction what to choose and then finally asked us what to drink. Water. Bottled water. As we got our food I did not simply like my dish. I couldn’t tell if this was how they make this particular dish, or it was poorly made. My husbands food was OK, nothing was put to standard. Mind you while this was all going on you have workers on their phone FaceTiming the whole time of our service, the lady on the phone walked by our table asking how’s the food but was too quick to notice I genuinely was confused about my dish. Disrespectful. We walked to the register explaining how I did not like my food and she told me “that’s your problem” telling me I have to pay half the food because of labor and the food products to buy the ingredients… EXCUSE ME! Because my two bites trying the food cost $12 and that’s in half! Ridiculous.

One of the few restaurants in Box Elder and it is great! Had the Pork Udon and it was goooooood! With not many workers on a Saturday night I'm surprised with how fast the food came out. The tables are a little dirty (maybe because of the lack of workers), but I'm not going to dock points off of that, especially with how messy and delicious the food is.Also, not use of peanut oil for cooking, which I find very good because I got an allergy to peanuts and one of the last Asian restaurants I went to used a lot of it.

Wonderful experience! Korean bbq is a great addition to Rapid City. The food was wonderful! We loved the experience and can’t wait to be regulars!

Great food, been coming here for years and will keep coming back! You can't get any better anywhere else. My family loves coming here when we're in the area. Food made fresh, with fresh ingredients, yummo!

Ordered chicken teriyaki with shrimp tempura. Got a salad covered in ranch dressing, a scoop of rice, and some not great chicken teriyaki. No crispiness to the chicken, was just rubbery and soaked in sauce that tasted like it came out of a bottle.The shrimp tempura was very good, but the meal itself was a disappointment. Might go back to try the bimbibap as I've seen good reviews on it.

Good food. Unfortunately, charged $50 more than what I ordered. Ended up paying $70 for one person to dine in for lunch. Owner said they would refund, but never did.Beware of your credit card charges.

This is a very late post but I feel there's value added to taking the time to rate/comment this business because of the memorable experiences that I've experienced here. Not to mention, I'm trying to play catch-up to some of my reviews that I've missed in the past.I had the privilege of watching the start-up of this restaurant several years ago, and I can clearly see why it's been so successful. From the moment they first opened their doors, the food quality has been exceptional. My family, friends, co-workers, and I used to eat here approximately 2-3 times per week. Now that I reside in Las Vegas, I don't get the opportunity to visit this restaurant and the family that owns/operates it...which is unfortunate - the family was always so friendly and welcoming to their restaurant!There's not many restaurants in this world to which I can claim that I've tried over 94% of the items on the menu. Although one of my favorite dish on this menu is the Bi Bim Bap, all the food options are phenomenal.After leaving South Dakota back in 2014 to move to Las Vegas, I did have the opportunity to visit Kang San a few years later and see if anything had dramatically changed. To my knowledge, nothing turned for the worse and I did manage to talk to the owner again to catch up which was awesome. I also got to see my picture still on their famous, "Great Wall of Kang San," which was very nostalgic. Thanks for all the good food and great memories - I highly recommend this place to everyone!
