What we had: bulgogi shrimp tacos, chicken kampungki tacos
Taste: 7/10
I was craving Korean fusion tacos so we decided to give this place a try. The shrimp tacos were yummy, didn't really taste the bulgogi sauce but it had a lot of guacamole. Mmm guac. The shrimps were a little cold by the time we got our tacos, not sure if that was intended.
The chicken kampungki on the other hand, IMO, are the most nonsensical things you would put in a taco. It's one of those really cool sounding fusion ideas that wasn't fully developed logistically. They were generous with large fried chicken chunks, which is great, just not in a taco. We could not lift the taco shell without chicken chunks falling all over the place. Even when we removed the chunks and ate them separately, eating the taco was awkward because it was difficult the distribute the large chunks of meat throughout the taco. Also the other toppings/sauces weren't really noticeable so it really just tasted like fried chicken wrapped in a soft taco shell.
Value: 4/10
13$ for 3 chicken kampungki tacos, 21$ for 3 shrimp tacos. We weren't really full after 3 tacos. It was more of a snack.
**Average cost per diner: $20 after tax and tip
Service/Convenience: 8/10
The place was easy to locate and fairly accommodating, as we went in at a very busy time and they were fully reserved, but slipped us in since one of the reservations was for an hour later. The decor looks super hipster and the place is really cramped.
The waitress was very knowledgeable and explained the items on the menu. They brought out both sets of tacos at once so it took a while. As mentioned above, I think the shrimp tacos were sitting out and cooled down by the time we got them. They might've been more tasty hot.
The waitress looked kind of anxious to get us out of there before the people who reserved the table comes, but fear not, at the rate that we inhale food, we were out of there in half an hour.
Would go back? Maybe, if I'm really craving fusion tacos again. Though I prefer the tacos at Smash.
Would recommend to friend? Sure, if they like fusion tacos.
Similar places: Han Ba Tang (Korean fusion tacos), Smash (other fusion tacos)
**Disclaimer: Average cost per diner constitutes the amount (per person) we eat to get full without drinks. Total cost is usually divided between 2 diners, one of whom can regularly eat 7 slices of XL pizza
