This place is bomb dot com. I'd get the bulgogi ofc with fish cakes and potato salad . I loved the portion size and free miso soup! This was our go to spot when we crave kbbq ! The staff was always so attentive and welcoming. Can't wait till it reopens ! As far as the ambience, it's very simple and modern. More of a takeout place but you can dine in. Ordering on the kiosks is easy too !

This hit my spot right on top. Let me give you the breakdown. Using a kiosk with pictures, you build a box. First, pick your base. Noodles, rice, fried rice. Then, a protein. I went with the noodles and bulgogi, of course. Then one of many sides. I ordered broccoli for my guy. I went with the potato salad. Everything comes in a cute little box. There was plenty of food for later. Complimentary self serve miso soup is offered for everyone. Everybody was super nice. Prices are reasonable. We spent just over $20 for two. Located on Knott somewhat near Lincoln in a self standing building. The location has gone thru a couple of residents over the last few years. I'm hoping this one is here to stay. It is a welcome change of place to the area. It is not fancy by any means. However, they offer great food, prices, and service. Solid 4.25 and rounding up to a 5. I'm a fan

The place was really clean. Ordering was a breeze, you just order through a touch screen. The people who worked there make sure to help you if it's your first time. I really liked the meat there, it was really good. The complimentary miso was very good as well. Usually when things are complimentary, It's not as good but this wasn't the case. The girl that helped me was so nice as well. It's a nice little spot for a quick bite. I will be returning.

This is like korean version of panda express bento box style. Loved their ordering system which is on a touch screen. I chose the large plate - double chowmein, bulgogi, and spicy pork and squid. For my side dishes i chose japchae and fish cakes. Chow mein was bomb - it reminded me of the chow mein you get at thr chinese buffet but like way lighter not as greasy. Bulgogi meat was so good - not too sweet and very lean no gristle or fat. Seasoning was perfect and the portion size was huge The star entree was the spicy pork and squid - so tender and flavorful. Even though its super red it doesnt taste spicy its sweet almost like bbq sauce I loved the side dishes - japchae and fish cakes. Tasted legit and fresh tasting not stale. Reminds me of the side dishes u get at korean bbq. For 14 dollars u get so much food - definitely good for two big meals and theres a miso soup station by the cashier. I will defnitely get back to try all the other entrees and sides

Great little gem in the middle of Buena Park. Great tasting food and wallet friendly! The regular size combo comes out to under $10! With tax! Ordering and payment is handled through a touchscreen. People working there were really nice too. Plenty of parking. Will be back again soon!

Hungry and want something fast? This is the place for you! Large portions at a decent price, how do you go wrong? The best way I can describe the quality is a Korean Panda Express. OUR FAVS: Base - Noodles Meat - Cajun Shrimp, Spicy Pork, Bulgolgi (in that order) Sides: Cucumber, Fishcake, Japchae Free Miso soup (dispenser next to utensils) Service was quick & friendly, but they were slammed at 6pm, maybe try coming earlier? Plenty of parking in the plaza

I love the concept and simplicity of this new eatery. You choose between a regular (1x base, 1x meat, 1x side) or a large (2x base, 2x meat, and 2 sides). Prices are good especially for what you get. I opted for a large just to try a few different things. I got fried rice and veggies, spicy pork bulgogi and beef bulgogi and kimchi/ potato salad. -Sides and bases were good and as expected. I actually appreciate they threw in tofu with the veggie option. -The meats were hefty! Unfortunately a little bland. I think the spicy pork could have been spicier. I didn't really even notice spice in it... more a sweetness? I think they can improve a little on the flavors if I had to write something negative. Overall not too bad. It's easy, fast, affordable, and filling. Maybe some improvement on flavor but I would come again.
