A cool quick to go or eat-in place with fun Asian fusion options. If you’re gluten intolerant, though, I wouldn’t suggest it as almost everything either has bread, gluten or soy sauce in it. Kind service though and wonderful green tea ice cream

The bibimbap and bulgogi dishes are great. The wraps are always satisfying with half left over for dinner. It's like being in Seoul on a Saturday night again.

Pre-pandemic, this place was good. Now that we're back in the office, glad to see they're still here. But... Vegetarian options are few. Ordered tofu-based dish, thinking "vegetarian." Right? First of all, the dish was BLAND. So I asked for soy sauce. The guy practically tossed a packed at me...one packet. Then, opening the packet, soy sauce squirts all over me and the table. Great. Bit into the dumpling... Good, until I got to the PORK. My bad for assuming, but really, you'd think that would be clearly marked for the portion of the population who orders TOFU because it's vegetarian.

Stopped in for a late lunch and it wasn’t busy. Ordered a bulgogi noodle box, about $12, which came out fast and hot. Great flavor, nice level of spice, plenty of tender beef. And lots of noodles! I’m happy, I’d come back and eat here again and try something else with confidence.

Soild taste. Not quite authentic but still pretty good. Great price for the area and very fast service.

The flavors were great and the price was right

I dropped in for a quick lunch and was impressed with the interesting options, fairly economical prices for the location, and tasty food. I ended up with the bulgogi Papabox (bento) which was pretty good. It's essentially a standard bento/sampler with a choice of meat. I was surprise that the portion of meat was pretty large. It was perfectly cooked and flavorful. So, this is not really designed to be an eat-in place. There are a limited number of tables but there's no table service. I am surprised by the reviews that criticize this business model. There are countless full-service restaurants in the area. This one is what it is - and does what it does quite well.

I love this place they have big menu food is delicious you can go all the month day by day and try something different!! Customers service is perfect they have incredible ice cream matcha green ? or matcha whit vanilla!! Price is ok for the class of food you can eat inside or across street is small park !! Only bad things is not parking you have to parking around and walking!!

Variety of menu selections, juices and other beverages for grab-n-go. Orders are filled quickly, large portions, limited seating, Great for lunch or dinner carryout. One of the few venues downtown open after 3:00pm for late lunch. Friendly staff and they have daily specials $10 - $14.

If you looking for cheap, go here. However understand you’ll be getting what you pay for. They take foreverrrr to make food. They are soooo slow. The young girl in the front taking orders never smiles or greets the customers, she really slow. And they honestly need more people in this establishment. The food is okay. I got their waffles and they were very soggy. I ordered the breakfast platter as well and they got my order wrong. All in all if you want something quick mediocre and don’t mind waiting long this is the place for you
