Let’s get one thing out of the way: in this economy, finding a heap of actual meat, veggies, and decent sauces for under $13 deserves applause. So yes, two thumbs up on value alone. But that’s the problem with star ratings: one number can’t cover both “cheap and filling” and “culinary masterpiece.” If you’re hungry, frugal, and craving something vaguely healthy, this place is a solid 4.67 (hope you read that out loud). The meat is flavorful, the greens are basically Costco’s salad mix on sabbatical, and the sauce didn’t quite know where it belonged. The dumplings? Fantastic! Fresh and comforting. But where’s the rice when you really need it? The main event (bulgogi, in my case) lands squarely in “mall food court” territory. But service is friendly, lines are nonexistent, and it all lands in that sweet spot between “I deserve better” and “my budget needs more options like this one” Cheap, quick, and better than “edible”: three boxes checked.

The food is fire! The service is mediocre, and the atmosphere is trash (literally). There was a city trash can right outside the restaurant door overfilled with garage and reeking of piss. As for inside of the restaurant, it is very small and crammed. You’re almost standing on top of other people as you wait in line to order or wait for your food to be ready.
As for the food… wow!! 10 out of 10. I ordered the Koren fried chicken (sweet & spicy) and a side of steamed rice. I cannot wait to go back and order this again. I killed the entire meal and did not leave anything behind. My wife ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken bowl and the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The portion size was huge! She could not finish it. The spicy sauce was too spicy and overpowered the flavor of the chicken, rice, and veggies. Rating this bowl a 4 out of 10 on the spicy overkill.
The prices here are AMAZING! We only spent $25 for our food, drove to Manhattan beach, and enjoyed it while watching the sunset. Our food was still hot after the 35 min drive.

This was an uber eats delivery. The food was amazing. It was flavorful and the portions are nice. The food is priced perfectly. I most definitely will be ordering from here again. Hopefully we can get some shrimp as an add on. Overall this hit my taste buds just right.

Absolutely amazing. Will go here again and again and again. And I’ll tell my friends to eat here. The way it tasted like I was in Korea, and it was only $12 something! Like ughhhh so good! I only wished they had a galbi bowl too.

Had the spicy Mayo Chicken and it was delicious. Great individual portions of rice, chicken, and mixed greens. Chicken was fresh and spicy and the service was great. They were very helpful and patient with us as newcomers.

The spicy mayo with extra protein is my go-to dish—it never disappoints. The portion sizes are generous, with plenty of delicious, well-marinated meat. Every bite is flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommended!

We were really excited to try this based on the other reviews. I had the bulgogi bowl, and asked for extra sauce as others have suggested. That was a good call because it definitely needed a flavor boost. My sig-o had the spicy chicken bowl and found it shockingly one-note (after expecting a flavor bomb based on the ingredients). All that said, the portions were huge and I did eat every drop of mine and enjoyed it well enough, but likely wouldn’t return.

Got the Black Pepper Chicken and Beef Bulgogi and thought both were very good. The atmosphere outside the restaurant was nice and eating at the outdoor tables was still pleasant after dark.

Had the spicy fried chicken. Sure spicy, but does not break a sweat. Fresh and crispy, some sweet pickles to balance. Well cooked rice.
Really good value, $10-$11 for a bowl. Enough for a medium sized belly. Friendly service, and they were quick. Perfect!
Only downside is the busy road right outside.

Great portion size at a super reasonable price! Black pepper chicken bowl was packed with flavor — the rice, chicken, and veggies were all so tasty! The service was quick and friendly. 5 stars!
