“Almost every single time I’ve gone to this shopping plaza I make a stop at K-Recipe. It’s become a comfort treat lol

My wife and I usually get a gimbap and some of the sides— the cucumbers or kimchi, they always hit! It just feels and tastes so fresh and delicious 😋
Prices are very reasonable and there’s so many options to get, not just gimbap, if you like to try something different every time. 🙂“

“I was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious this place was! Their chicken was crispy yet juicy and well flavored and the ttobokki was amazing! My husband got the kimchi rice which was delicious and we also got the mango snowflake desert which was so big and delicious big enough for all 4 of us to enjoy! The staff was great and welcoming and attentive. I love this place and can’t wait to return!!“

“The food and service were great! My husband got the bento box with 2 meat options, the shaved beef and pork belly, it was phenomenal! So flavorful. Really well balanced. I had the ramen, which was also sooo good. Really hit the spot. Would definitely recommend!“

“Sooooo tender on the inside, dark meat, crispy perfection on the outside with delicious sauce options. Definitely get the radish to go with any of the chicken!! The chicken pieces are huge!!!! Each person can probably eat 5-7 pieces, our medium came with 16 pieces!!!“

“such good tteokpokki! i wasn't a huge fan at first because the grandma's sauce has dashi (dashima kelp soup) broth, and while it is savory and very high quality, i'm not personally not a huge fan of the slight fishy flavor (same with the fishcakes)
however i was offered a sample of a ssaltteok with the rosé sauce and it was divine!
so the last time i went i ordered the rosé sauce tteokpokki. it is so delicious and creamy. the bacon in the sauce gives a slight smokey flavor and the sausages that come with it are super flavorful while not too spicy. i like extra vegetables in mine and i also highly recommend adding noodles and melted cheese onto your tteokpokki“

“My friends and I had dinner on this restaurant whilst at Salt Lake. The food is excellent, the price is reasonable and the service is okay.

This is a good restaurant to visit if you crave for some Korean food whilst in the city. We'll defo visit again.“

“Family Birthday celebration dinner. Seated quickly. Great service. Selections were authentic and delicious. Felt like I was back in Seoul. Highly recommend. Closed M and T. On W and Th open but will close mid afternoon between lunch and dinner hours but open all day Sat and I think on Sun. Recently remodeled. Everything was excellent.“

“Absolutely delicious food made fresh and fast, with impeccable service! The medium fried chicken was enough for two or more people to share. The dumpling soup was great, especially with an extra side of rice and Korean bbq sauce! The plain French Fries had a bit of tempura style fry on them, which was excellent! Some of the sauces were homemade! The was friendly and they went the extra mile! We even have enough food for leftovers! We will be back again and again.“

“Great experience BUT not for me! Lots of options for meats and veggies to choose.

RULES:
There’s 3 activities when dining in to choose from:

1. The HOT POT experience
2. Grill the meats along with the hot pot
3. Sushi time

Choose wisely!“

“HongKong Banjum is my absolute favorite restaurant in Utah! I always get the 짬뽕 (jjamppong) and it is always perfect. If you don’t like spicy, then the 짜장면 (jajangmyeon) is also amazing. I also highly recommend getting the 탕수육 (tangsuyuk).

Great service!“

“Excellent cheese Katsu, excellent service, and the breading they use is better than any I have tasted. If you want a variety of flavors try the curry Katsu, and if you want something even more filling try the massive King Katsu.“

“delicious foods friendly atmosphere“

“Jose and Savannah are the absolute best at their jobs and in customer service. They’re always so welcoming and caring and they have never messed up my food, both of them go out of their way to make sure everything in my order is good every single time. The food is warm and delicious and they’ve even memorized my order! They’re so amazing“

“We ordered 4 Korean corn dogs. One potatoe...and the other half cheese half sausage/hotdogs and they were so tiny. The meat sausage part they cut to add with the cheese was smaller than my pinky. It was mostly breading....and the oil used to fry it all tastes like it needed a changing. We also weren't a fan of putting the corn dog in ketchup to make the cheetoh powder stick. It wasnt good tasting.“

“Really nice people, food was AMAZING, I got the kko kko bop one of aka 6. And it was good, I also did a 3 on SPICY with btw!!!
You get to choose your own spicy level!!!!!
so good!!
I also tried the level 1 and it was good too
( I found a bone in my chicken but that's how you know it's fresh so AWESOME)
IT ALSO HAS CABBAGE AND RICE AT THE BOTTOM AND IT'S JUST AMAZING!!!
I'd definitely recommend coming here!!!

Vegetarian options: I think you can minus meat + other things you don't want from what I can see

Parking: Tons of spots, really close too!!!

Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly and kids will absolutely LOVE the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy get in and get out, tons of space and it's flat floor so it's easy“

“Sushi chefs and Korean food is what makes this location stand out over all the others.

I’ve been a customer of Itto for years now and have tried all their locations, this one without a doubt stands out the most.
The sushi here always feels a notch above the rest. You can tell the chefs actually care about presentation and have some real skills. I usually go for nigiri and sashimi, and it’s always fresh and beautifully made.

The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, spacious and clean. All the staff is kind and seem to be having a good time.

Also worth mentioning they’re the only location that also offers Korean food and a really good one at that, love their galbi and bibimbap.“

“Margo, and Jayden is super awesome for they're amazing customer service and friendly atmosphere“

“Excellent food for the price.“

“Wow, this place is delicious! I just tried it on a whim on my way from one place to another and needed a quick bite and it did not disappoint! I got the Two Handed version corn dog with a beef sausage, kimchi fries, and a lemonade slushie and they were all delicious! The seasoning and sauce on the corn dog were amazing and the fries were hot and yummy with that seasoning on it! The service was great too! I will definitely be returning!“

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“This is my first time coming to this restaurant with my family. Everything was delicious shout out to Oscar and Gabriel truly making this a five star experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and recommending good tasty food ! Definitely will be coming back“

“Been wondering about this place for awhile so popped in for quick take out - Bulgogi Beef K-Pop Fries 😮‍💨 I knew they were gunna be good but they were REALLY good. Totally blows Betos, Rancheritos etc out the water haha get the K-Pop Fries you’ll thank me later! Now I’m curious to try more menu items haha“

“This place is my favorite now. Made sure we were taken care of. Even when i said i didn’t need anything the waiter saw that i liked the kimchi so he asked if i wanted more. I did, I was just shy (Ｔ＿Ｔ）but awesome place“

“The fried tofu at 7.5 spice is very mild. Good flavor, but if you're looking for more heat I'd say 9 is a better option. It's closer to Sriracha, but not too spicy yet. The apple and strawberry flavored milkies are also pretty good and not odd tasting. The Korean corn dogs are best served with corn flakes, and the all cheese weighs a decent amount. Overall, good value and the taste is worth the price.“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“Margo, and Jayden is super awesome for they're amazing customer service and friendly atmosphere“

“Very enjoyable! if you're looking for a quiet lunch or dinner spot, this is very pleasant. Good food! I enjoy having both Korean and Japanese options!“

“All the food is always fresh and good.“

“We ate here before a movie. Food is good. but I think I would prefer less rice and more noodles. Also the portion size was HUGE! For me, this wasn't an advantage this time (since we were going to a movie) and I'd like to suggest smaller portion size options in the future.“

“First time at Cupbop and I was seriously impressed! The bowl was HUGE with plenty of beef and a great mix of veggies — super filling and flavorful. The noodles were really good too.

The service made the experience even better. Since it was my first visit, the cashier took the time to explain everything and even gave me a few sauces to try, which I really appreciated. I’d 100% recommend getting the spicy sauce with their mayo combo — so good.

For a fast-casual spot, this place was excellent. My food came out in under 5 minutes, and everything was fresh and hot. Can’t wait to come back and try the K-dogs next time! 🌶️🍜“
