I’ve had the tacos 2 times now. Real good. I’d like a little more variety.

Food is amazing! If you enjoy rice bowls you must try it! Especially the sweet and spicy chicken tacos!

First off, Kim chi was delicious and spicy ! But the flavors of the bowls, like the Buffalo option, just didn’t jive with the Kim chi or chili sauce or chips with salsa as a side. It was served concession stand style. There’s good flavors here, they’re just not quite cohesive

This place is a hidden gem! The tacos are amazing. The rice bowl is to die for. The bubble tea pops like magic in your mouth. Run don’t walk! ❤️

Okay… let’s talk about Kalbi Taco Shack because I think I just had a religious experience involving a pork burrito.
The burrito? Massive. Flavorful. Emotional. I may or may not have teared up halfway through. Perfectly seasoned pork, the right amount of sauce, and a tortilla that held its life together better than I did during tax season.
My husband went for the assorted tacos, and by “assorted,” I mean he tried to order the entire left side of the menu — and honestly, zero regrets. Each taco had its own personality: one spicy, one sweet, one probably judging me for inhaling my burrito too fast.
The flavors? Explosive. Like a flavor rave in your mouth hosted by a mariachi band and a K-Pop group.
And can we talk about the Foundry food hall? You’ve got a dozen choices, but Kalbi is the Beyoncé of the bunch — serving main character energy while the rest of the hall is still rehearsing.
Huge shout-out to the team for keeping things fresh, fun, and downright addictive. One of the best meals we’ve had at the Foundry — and that’s saying something, because I’ve eaten my way through most of it.
10/10. Will dream about that pork burrito until further notice.
Final Verdict
If you’re in Midtown St. Louis and craving something that breaks the mold of “typical tacos”, Kalbi Taco Shack is a must-visit. The pork burrito alone is worth the stop — and if you’re with someone else, sample tacos so you can taste the range.
We’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend.
PS there is no picture of the burrito since i dug in and made a mess before I remembered I needed the photo proof. LOL

Asian fusion sounded good but wow this place missed the mark. The person that took my order was grumpy. The only thing she had to say was that I would have to sign the display on the ipad and give her a tip LOL not happening! Next I waited just a couple of minutes for my tacos and what a disappointment! This was $10.75 !! $5.25 for each taco. I was expecting two tortillas because that’s how street tacos come but instead got one dried up flour tortilla on each taco? A tiny bit of meat! What I got were the worst, smallest two tacos I’ve ever eaten! I still can’t get over $5.25 for these tiny tacos!!
To top off the horrible food experience I was in the bathroom all night with stomach cramps

Moving reviews over from Yelp and this was written in 2017:
Made it in for lunch but I wasn’t really impressed. I was expecting flavors that popped and impressed. Sadly, I was underwhelmed.
Spicy pork taco – served on a plain old every day tortilla that wasn’t even warmed. There was an excess of liquid in the taco that created a mess without any good reason. The pork itself was not really spicy. In fact, it was a bit on the bland side. Toppings were a bit meager as well. Nothing to write home about.
Beef short rib taco – more flavorful than the pork but nothing that blew me away even though it seems to be touted as the best thing on the menu. It also seemed to suffer from the excess of liquid that afflicted the pork taco and was similarly served on a tortilla that was straight out of the bag. It also seemed to have the same uninspired toppings that were a bit too long on the mayo-based sauce.
Kimchi cucumbers – also a miss. Very strong vinegar flavor but lacking in heat. Somehow, the flavor that presented itself most conspicuously was bitter. I’ve consumed a lot of kimchi both here and in the land of the morning calm and the flavors in this dish were not in the least bit reminiscent of what I’ve had other places on either side of the pacific.
Final observation…I love the Korean/Mexican fusion genre but there are better examples in the STL metro area.

I hate having to do this, but it’s clear that the quality of this spot in the Foundry has gone down significantly. I was there today and ordered their burrito, which has gone up in price quite a bit. After a 20% tip, one sweet & spicy burrito cost around $20 and some change. To top it off, my burrito was almost 80% rice and one or two tiny pieces of pork and a bit of lettuce and carrots. When I went back up to complain about the quality, they offered to give me some carrots & lettuce and shove it inside the burrito myself.
They were pretty dismissive and rude to say the least, and it used to be one of my favorite spots. It’s a bummer, but I’d highly recommend spending your money elsewhere.

Food definitely didn’t disappoint! Of course I had to get tacos from the taco shack and BY FAR the roasted sweet potato taco was the best! They sweet potatoes had great flavor and cooked perfectly! Unfortunately they were out of sweet and spicy pork so I got the chicken instead and while very good there was absolutely NO SPICE! It was all sweet but I wasn’t mad at it just want better next time. The rice bowl was nice…pretty much pick the protein and tell them how you want it. The kimchi was a bit of an after thought. Feel like they need to do a bit better with that.
Also, had the dessert chips and they were delicious! Tastes like they use more of a pita like chip because they were sooo addicting!

I had a yummy meal here today! The service was first class. I had the Birria Quesadilla and it was delicious. It could have had a little more meat for price but tasted awesome!
