Wow wow wow. Beautiful! Went to try it for my first time and I gotta say that food is better than I expected it to be. That surprised me. And the service was moderate, but also pretty quick with your food.
Wow, The Valley needed one of these. A fast casual Korean joint serving up comforting rice bowls and excellent fried chicken wings. Service is friendly and accommodating, and the husband wife pair that runs the place are earnest and hard working. The ambiance is fine, what you could expect from a fast casual. The bowls were good. proper rice and appropriately seasoned protein choices. I've tried beef and spicy pork so far. I will say the spicy pork was a little light on the protein, but I'm sure mileage varies from bowl to bowl, as the beef was generous. The fried chicken is the star of the show. I've tried 4 of the 4 options now: plain, soy garlic, sweet/spicy, K-spicy. The winner is soy garlic, and it's not close. The best part about the wings is definitely the texture. Crisp, almost glass like shattering properties on the batter and skin, and solid flavorings. For some reason the soy garlic seemed to have a bigger crunch than any of the other options. Next time I may try their rice cake skewers and tornado potato. In any case, pay them a visit. It's worth it!
I ordered the beef rice bowl, and it was packed with flavor! It had a hint of coconut and a delicious bulgogi taste, mixed with peppers and onions. It was awesome, but personally, I prefer a different flavor profile. My husband got the chicken kimchi rice bowl, which was fantastic! The kimchi had just the right amount of tanginess--not too overpowering. Like the beef bowl, it was mixed with peppers and onions and served with pickled yellow radish. I actually liked his dish more since I'm not a big fan of the coconut taste in the beef bowl. We also ordered the Korean fried chicken, and it was fire! It reminded me of k.bbq chicken--crispy, flavorful, and totally worth it. The service was great, too! The person taking orders was super nice, and the food arrived quickly. The place itself was cozy, clean, and well-maintained. I'd definitely come back! If you've never tried Korean food before, this is a great place to start.
Mom and pop korean comfort food at a really good price. Spicy pork rice bowl was really filling (I got the small) and soy garlic wings were chefs kiss, especially for the price and quality! Service was a bit slow due to only 2 workers but overall nice and clean environment for dine in. Would definitely come back to try other items!
Stopped by for lunch got some take out. Hot or Not? Soy Garlic Wings: 5/5 bites delicious crispy and flavorful, no overpowering with the garlic, just right and tasty. Sweet n Spicy Wings: 3/5 bites good but not enough heat for my taste. Beef bowl: Rice, veggies topped with beef bulgogi. The beef came with teriyaki on the side but without the teriyaki was bland I'd skip this or ask for extra sauce. Rice and veggies were solid. Great Friendly service. Plenty of indoor seating. Parking in the lot could be tough, in the shopping center but there's street paring as well. They also have an Instant Ramen Bar pretty cool flavors. Would return for the Soy Garlic Wings and .
Soy garlic chicken was so good!! I would definitely go back for this! Friendly service was definitely a plus! Ordered a couple of bowls - beef and spicy pork - and they were good too. Good portions! That soy garlic chicken really hit the spot! The parking lot is very small to I parked on the street.
Parking is scarce, but the food is great! I ordered the chicken wings, chicken teriyaki bowl and beef bowl to go for my husband and myself. Yummy, we will be back!
Decided to try this spot for dinner last night! I love Korean fried chicken so we knew this was a must try. Parking is super, super small but you can park on the streets as well (also very busy). We walked in and the door slammed behind us, I thought it was the strong winds lately but their door just doesn't have a stopper or something so it's really aggressive.. Super small restaurant, only a few tables but also really close to the next table so it's hard to really move around. I would recommend ordering online if anything because there isn't really a waiting area and you're right up against all the tables, very awkward. The lady who helped us order, maybe the owner, was very sweet. Their ordering system doesn't ask for a name or number so she kind of just looks at your direction and say "your order is ready". It was a little confusing because we sat behind another couple so when she said that our order was ready, the couple in front of us stood up but she kindly gestured that it was for us behind them lol. We ordered two orders of their soy garlic wings and their beef rice bowl. We took it home to enjoy and it was super delicious! Perfectly seasoned and love the crispy batter. It's not overly battered or thick either and the chicken is juicy. My only gripe is the pickled radish (the white square ones because they also offer the yellow ones which ended up being better than the white ones). If you've had bb.q before, you know how good and strong their pickled radish is. This place is WAAAAY too "pickled"? I'm not too sure what it is but they were extremely sour for my taste. It should be balanced and go well with the chicken but it just didn't. I ate one and couldn't even enjoy the rest. I ate the yellow ones which were just okay but I feel like Korean fried chicken goes so well and the radish is almost needed. Still a great spot and would love to try their kimchi spam rice bowl next time. IG: @ammysalamii
Called in my order and was ready in less than 15 minutes. I ordered the small tteokbokki and the 6 piece garlic soy chiken. The tteokbokki was spicy but doable especially with the pickled radish it cuts the heat but so yummy. The star was the soy garlic chicken, it was sweet and savory with the absolute best crunch. I've never had better tasting chicken. I will be making this a new weekly spot to visit. Already looking forward to trying the other items. Happy i made the choice to stop by and the customer service was great. The store is very on trend and i also like that they integrated the DIY ramen station. Very trendy and i will be trying this soon :)
A super cute Korean restaurant in the valley! Service was really great and quick. We ordered the soy garlic wings with a side of rice. Wings were sweeter than how I usually like them but the quality and crispness of the wings were too good can't go wrong! Popcorn chicken was also a little sweet but still really delicious! Chicken teriyaki had the flavors and was also really good! Can't wait to come back and try more. !!
