Frequently criticized
- foodToday, I ordered two bowls through Postmates. I expected them to be warm, but they arrived cold, greasy, and without sauce. It's always better to go in person, I guess.
- sauceI ordered two bowls, and between both, I received barely three small pieces of chicken. Neither bowl came with any sauce, making them dry and flavorless. The corndog was even worse—it was nothing more than a thick ball of breading with a stick jammed through it.
- qualityThe corndog was even worse—it was nothing more than a thick ball of breading with a stick jammed through it. For the price, the quality and portions were unacceptable. Definitely not worth it.
- riceWhen I came in, I had asked for no rice (just the glass noodles & cabbage). Unfortunately, I had already taken a couple of bites before realizing they added rice in my dish and having to toss the cup away. It looks like they added the rice on the bottom so I wasn’t able to catch it until I started mixing what I thought would only be noodles and cabbage around.
- chickenMy experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered two bowls, and between both, I received barely three small pieces of chicken. Neither bowl came with any sauce, making them dry and flavorless.
- food availabilityEvery time I come here, they are always out of something. Don’t come past 8pm cause they won’t have most of the food available.
- food tastefood honestly tastes like the smell of a firepit
- glass noodlesglass noodles I got were cold
- porkpork was chewy and obviously had been sitting for awhile
- BBQ beefand so was the beef
If you're looking for a quick, potentially delicious Korean street food experience with generous portions, it might be worth a try. Just be aware that the quality can be a bit inconsistent, so manage your expectations.

- Uber selectionsMy only issue, and it's a significant one for me, is the sauce situation. I primarily use delivery and wish I could order more sauce, even if it meant paying extra. For four 'wet' bowls and two large orders of pot stickers, we only received four cups of sauce, which is simply not enough.

Gift Card Issues Mar Lunch Experience
My experience at the restaurant involved trying to use a gift card, which unfortunately didn't work on two separate occasions. The associate assisting me mentioned that it was likely a system issue and that they would speak to their manager. Despite this, I was given my food and told to have a nice day.
The associate also shared that another customer had experienced the same problem with a card that had funds on it. It would have been more helpful if someone had taken the time to figure out the problem and assist me in resolving it, rather than just sending me on my way. The food itself was good, but the service issues related to the gift card significantly impacted my overall experience.

Quality Declined Significantly
As others have commented, I used to come here all the time but the quality fell off recently. I came a month ago and was disappointed. I tried again tonight to see if they solved their problems, and it’s declined even further.

Disappointing First and Last Visit
This was my first time trying this place, and it will be my last. I found there was hardly any sauce. The fries were cold and soggy, and the bowl itself was barely edible.
The pork I ordered was burnt. While the chicken was only a little black, the main issue was its taste, which suggested it was cooked on or in dirty appliances with old grease. Honestly, the food tasted like the smell of a firepit.
It was a significant disappointment, especially considering the price.
